My dealer told me that the J1.2 will be the last Taycan. Going forward, the Taycan and Panamera will be merged. As tragic as it may be, this report is plenty credible in light of the disastrous economics associated with Porsche’s over-exuberance in EVs, incredibly foolish decision to forego a...

This is consistent with what my dealer told me. There are no changeable allocations for a Turbo S or GT in the entire US right now, but he said that if I put in an order demand for a TS, Porsche would probably give him one (it’s a large dealership). He said the GTs are done - no further...

My dealer, who has been with Porsche for decades, just told me that they’re discontinuing the Taycan Turbo GT and that no existing or future allocations are or will be available. Is anyone else hearing the same thing? The backdrop here is that I’m looking to upgrade from my 2023 Taycan GTS...

Hi, everyone - I plan to consolidate my 2023 Panamera Turbo S and 2023 Taycan GTS into a a single new car, but would appreciate some advice. The Panamera is luxurious, unbeatable for a long drive, and sounds glorious with the V8, but the hesitant throttle, less sharp handling dynamics, and...

1. The serenity of the drive, even in rush-hour traffic. I’ve never driven anything that’s so smooth in power delivery. It has the quietest interior of any car I’ve ever experienced (love the noise-insulated glass option). Combined with how the car glides off power and the comfort of the air...

Another GT3/Taycan GTS combo here! The Taycan is simply perfect as a daily driver - serene and smooth in traffic, and yet surprisingly fun when thrown into a curve. That EV kick on corner exit is always fun. But nothing compares to the explosive top-end power of a GT3 approaching 9,000 rpm...

Thank you! This is just the kind of input that I am looking for. Your old 4S has almost identical power to my GTS (the latter has more torque, but sustained motorway pulls are all about hp up top, so I think your former Taycan is a good proxy for mine). How dramatic is the power difference...

Has anyone upgraded from the J1.1 GTS to the new generation? I love my 2023 GTS. It’s an almost perfect daily driver. It really does drive like a big sports car. The steering is outstanding (much better than the Panamera GTS I used to have), the suspension tuning is magic, the turn in is sharp...

This same issue has now happened to my 2023 GTS three times over the past five months. The driver-side charge port gets stuck halfway, makes sporadic efforts to open and then close unsuccessfully, goes back to the halfway spot, and you get the screen warning about the charger being impaired. It...

Ultimately, I ended up with a GTS and don’t have any regrets because it drives magnificently, has seemingly endless power, and I got an attractive deal on it. But I loved the RWD Taycan. I’d have been very happy with one...

Did the cars have the same wheels and tires? (These can make a substantial difference.) Any reason to think that one car was blasting AC, while the other was not? If you were truly comparing like with like, then it's counterintuitive that you'd encounter such a stark difference in efficiency...

Naturally, lol - I picked up a RAV4 LE (cheapest version) for beach duty in the summer. It comes standard with adaptive cruise control, etc., despite costing ~ 1/6 of my Taycan, ha-ha. Porsche really has its business economics figured out…

Thanks! I have LCA on my non-ACC Taycan, and think it’s a valuable safety feature. I don’t know how valuable rear cross traffic alert, intersection assist, etc. are. I’m sure that Porsche has implemented them well. I may be biased against those features because my old Mazda6 had them, and they...

Out of curiosity, what safety feature does ACC offer that the standard Warn and Brake Assist does not?

I don’t think that power difference itself affects range. It’s wheel selection, ambient temperature, and - above all - driving style. The only way power relates to reduced driving range is weight (I believe the C4 and C4S have the same motors, though, so no difference there - the GTS and Turbo...

Ha-ha, I can’t argue with you there - yours is a reasonable view re: automated tech. It’s just not for me. I should commend you on your vision for your garage, though - that’s my setup! 2022 GT3, manual, for exciting weekend drives (seriously, the way the car goes from fast to suddenly...

There isn’t a bad pick - these cars are simply wonderful to drive. Listing pros and cons only gets you so far. As a decision point, how about this: Which one are you likely to keep longer? The defence against depreciation is long-term ownership. Drive both. But I’d err in favour of more power...

By “safety feature,” I think you’re referring to the alert and then automatic braking that occurs if you close in too quickly on the car in front of you. That feature exists on every Taycan, I understand, whether or not it’s equipped with ACC. It’s called Warning & Brake Assist (WBA). OP: you...

I have 18-ways on my ‘23 Taycan and 14-ways on my ‘22 Panamera. The 18-ways are substantially more comfortable, with deeper cushioning and better bolstering. I was surprised by how significant the difference is. I spec’d the Panamera with the 14-ways so I could include the massage program. To...

To be fair, the GTS is so brilliant as a daily driver that it's easy to imagine keeping the car for the long haul. Depreciation is irrelevant if you don't sell!
