It's interesting because none of these were considerations for me when sizing up the Taycan. We have a Model 3 already, but for me it's the driving experience that mattered most. We charge each car in our garage overnight so the issues around charging are largely irrelevant to us. And other...
I miss my 911S Cab ever day! They say there are 2 times you are happy as a boat owner:: The day you buy it and the day you sell it. A 911, on the other hand you will love every day you own it. But be careful, while you are sleeping, it's in the garage plotting to get you in serious trouble...
I don't care for a prestige badge but I did buy a magnetic oval sticker to show that I'm with the USCG auxiliary and I thought to put on my trunk when Im on official business. I was surprised there are no magnetic surfaces on the exterior of the car anywhere. What's with that?
I'll take your word for it, but someone could start a whole new thread on that debate (but it won't be me!).
However I was driving an auto enthusiast in my 911 some time ago and when downshifting at a fairly high speed and he said "that's really not good for the engine." I said I did it to...
When I had my 911S I'd often downshift when approaching traffic to slow the car. I was told this may not be good for the engine but it became a reflexive motion for me after a decade of driving the same car. The auto-regen has a similar feeling when it kicks in. I'm addicted to it.
so….it depends! I feel a lot more knowledgeable now, though no more certain!
I attended a funeral across country last year and the rental agency gave me a new Mercedes EV (not the economy car I ordered). After the ceremony we drove "caravan style" to a restaurant. It was a long drive down an...
I've been wondering about this for some time, like every time I get on the freeway these past 2 years. I use the auto-regen religiously and it does 90% of the work for me during bumper-to-bumper traffic. So I wonder, does the guy behind me realize I am slowing down?
I drove a similar (997 911S Cabriolet) for nearly 12 years and sold it for a bit less than what I paid originally. How many "six figure" cars can you drive 12 years for free? Only a 911!
Bragging rights is at the heart of many high-end car sales. Especially in my neighborhood. I think you nailed it.
I am soooo glad I bought my Taycan in this generation model because although its not the fastest EV, its the best combination of price, luxury and performance, and I couldn't...
