married and excuse the earlier pun;) Enjoy the trip, it’s currently boiling here though will cool down somewhat later in the week.

You have an eight-year old with your boss? O Am currently in the Balearics and saw a Carrara White one here for the first time - looks fantastic under the Mediterranean sun. Would agree that it looks best from the front and second from the rear, in particular while in motion. I then moved on...

Looks cool, but wouldn’t except anything else. I wonder what the starting price will be in the UK.

haven’t tried Lucid and seems like a fantastic car, but you definitely made the right choice over EQS!

In In UK, ALK works very well on highways and A40/A30 etc, but definitely do not trust it on central London roads with lane markers being what they are. Tested EQS recently with ALK, and it seems a bit less jerky but overall Taycan holds up well.

IMHO most "custom kitted" cars regardless of brand and body type end up looking marginally to completely out of place, except for sports cars on the race track perhaps where the utility makes sense (for some, presumably)

If you can afford it and like to actively/regularly fun drive your car, definitely go for the Turbo S. Decided against switching my 4S at this stage, but when the refresh or 2.0 is out a made-to-order Turbo or Turbo S will definitely be on the agenda.

I’d definitely agree that the UK public EV charging infrastructure is not acceptable in its current state. Many of the rapid chargers are old and lamp post chargers in London often unreliable. Owning and regularly using an EV is easy if you have your domestic charger, but as mentioned that is...

Not the case in the UK as far as I can tell - it is listed as an option in the current configurator.

Tried the Turbo today, and there is definitely more punch to it than on the 4S. The car I drove did not have PTV or PDCC, but going 40-60 mph the steering felt firmer than on the 4S - any suggestions on why that is (mine has Power Steering Plus, the Turbo I tried did not)? Also, was frankly not...

Thanks for sharing, great review. I think your observations reflect what many of us think and love about the Taycan - in particular re. the 'next gen' driving experience.

In UK, some independent dealers will also sell on commission but I know at least the guys I bought my car from has a few conditions attached to acting as agent (Sale or Return basis), e.g. maximum age and mileage.

As earlier mentioned, around London Taycans don't really raise much attention any longer, except from tourists who presumably don't see much of them at home. While at a rapid charger a friendly old lady out with her dog stopped to chat though and kept raving on about how beautiful of a car it is:)

Good to know;)

nice spec and color scheme. While Taycans IMO typically look better in lighter colours, for Turbo S darker paints seem work the best!

yepp, pretty much free 4h parking (if you can find a spot!). The rest of the London councils should do the same, but not holding my breath.

makes sense - in France and Spain I hardly saw a single one during an extended road trip last summer. The ones I did see had Norwegian or German plates but as you say EV tax incentives in Benelux at least used to be quite beneficial.

To put matters into perspective - in certain Greater London they are definitely not rare any longer. In particular in Mayfair and SW1 I sometime see multiple ones parked on the same street. So camaraderie between owners is pretty much non-existent:) Once you leave UK and head out to continental...

Had an EQS 450+ for an extended test drive, and it definitely feels (close) to an S-class in the driving experience i.e. fantastically smooth and comfortable though the RAS took a while to get used to. Generally also find the interior in MB a bit plastic. Somewhat disappointed with the...

Will try the Turbo and report back. Wondering if that is the point of no return for "upgrading" though:)
