It's hard to gauge resale value on these cars when the few we have seen are going at their MSRP (really more when you consider the new buyer doesn't get the tax credits). I wanna say Porsche initially projected 50% depreciation after 3 years but in today's climate I can't see them dropping that...

In all fairness I think your experiences are fairly unique, at least in terms of your actual vehicle. If anything the Taycan has expanded Porsches appeal and reach. There's a reason sales for this car only get better and are beating nearly everything not named Macan or Cayenne. Go to any car...

Paying MSRP (well actually MRSP minus $1k) on my custom order. Not a single dealer in my area or the rest of Texas had a CT4, and even their Taycan stock is pretty grim. I've heard of a few charging a markup. I lucked into a 2022 CT4 dealer allocation that was just about to Freeze. I didn't...

For the average day to day I doubt it would be much of a difference. There are few things like takeover speed when passing people it is better at, but I doubt the overall performance is significantly tangible to most drivers. The real perk is the added range, and IMHO resell value. Both of...

Exact same dates for me. I lucked into a dealer allocation a few days before their lock date earlier this month, got my build in and TYD a day later. He said it was only possible because they had pushed back the production date a few times. Happy to have stumbled ass backwards into a CT4...

Driving a Porsche is living with the purgatory of driving a fast car slow. At one point I had an Abarth Spider just because it felt like I was hauling ass while only going 45 miles an hour shifting gears (driving a slow car fast). Thankfully, the Western US is filled with lots of roads that...

With battery degradation what it is, it just makes sense a car with a bigger battery will have more appeal down the road. Just look at early Tesla's that are flooding the market now. The examples with the bigger battery and longer range are the models fetching the premium price. A larger...

This is correct. I bought my first Porsche at 32 (Boxster S) after having obsessed over them from a very young age. 3 years later I bought a Taycan 4S to combine my love of Porsche, and the EV practicality I was given with my Tesla S. I regret nothing. This is a brand that attracts a loyalty...

You're right, the RWD models seem to be the real world range winners. I'm sure a loaner isn't driven with the most care, and it likely impacts the projected range. Any gas loaner I have been given by my dealer usually showed 10mpg under its rated range. If I had a Taycan loaner and I had...

Plus Porsche does a wonderful job of downplaying the actual performance of their vehicles, and as you said, PB+ has more real world application like better passing speed boosts and better range. I can also promise if you ever go to resell the car, this is going to be an option prospective...

That's me. I have a Taycan 4S and am switching over to a base CT4 when it arrives this fall. I love the sedan but think the CT4 is a better looking car and has more practicality to it. When deciding what to go with, 4 vs 4S, I went with the 4. Having driven a RWD, the fun and enjoyment...

Really does a nice job of summarizing the appeal of the vehicle. Even if you aren't in the market for an estate vehicle, it's just so strikingly handsome from every angle. I honestly find it a better looking car than a regular Taycan (which IMHO is one of the best looking vehicles ever made)...

This is pretty much the reason my garage went from two full EV's to one EV (my Taycan), and my wife now has a Cayenne E-hybrid. For her day to day, she hardly ever needs the gas engine, but it's nice having a vehicle we can road trip without fear of a charging station being down. I personally...

I'm out of El Paso in West Texas, about 4 and half hours east of Tucson, and have made the drive to Phoenix a few times in my 4S on the EA network along I-10. I think one of the major things impacting range on the trip above was going above 80mph for any stretch. I've noticed in my car, the...

Love it. Definitely gives off Sexy Taxi vibes, but it really is impossible to make the CT look bad. It's just such a handsome vehicle.

I dig the spec. As other's have said, sport chrono is a great feature if only for the convenient change in driving modes, but you get a bit more functionality for it, plus making it with the compass is very cool. I feel like every Porsche on the lot and in the resell market has black or...

In all fairness just about every manufacturer out there, especially the ones you mentioned, makes a superior car to Tesla. Tesla wrecks everyone in technology, but the actual "kick the tires" vehicles Tesla makes are of mediocre build quality and materials used are non consistent with a car in...

Recently took a spin in a friends Panamera spec'd in Truffle Brown, and man was it gorgeous. I'm someone that typically specs just base interior with a Porsche, but the this brown was stunning to look at and be inside, and honestly one of the only Porsche leather trims I felt justified the...

I have it in my 4S and completely left it off my upcoming CT4 build. I enjoy driving it beyond everyday spirited driving every now and then, but I doubt they were ever a factor for any driving I did. When I test drove a fairly low spec CT4 and pulled the trigger on an order, I honestly...

Yeah, it really needs to be said that Tesla is more of a great research technology company that just so happens to make mediocre cars. Before my Taycan I had a 2013 Model S P85, and up until the day I sold it last year, it was still getting updated, and TBH had better tech and features than a...
