Leaving the Taycan. Sad day.

[UKTIVO]

Hi all.
I’ve owned my fabulous Taycan Turbo since December 2020. I’ve driven 50K miles with just a few hiccups. But all have been fixed under warranty. But I’ve decided to move on with something different and so I’m going to put up for sale my car. Actually, this car is the longest ownership of a car I’ve ever had.
I’m going to miss that incredible speed and torque. I’m not leaving Porsche altogether as I have other Porsche cars.
I’m going to miss
The speed
The torque
Actually the sound
The Burmester hifi.
Random people walking up telling me the car looks incredible (I’ve never had this happen before)

I would 100% buy another Taycan when the new series comes out. I estimate in a couple of years maybe??

I will still be lurking on this forum.

Sad as you say. But Wht triggered you to sell your car if you are so pleased with it? Given the market the way it is just now, it is not the best timing perhaps?

Great looking car in that Matt finish!

It’s a brilliant and beautiful car.
The only reason I’m selling is I’ve recently had back surgery and need something easier and softer (ride) for the next couple of years.
i will be taking a MASSIVE hit on depreciation but for once I’m not too bothered as I’ve enjoyed every minute I’ve had the car.

Does look good - I really like satin PPF on Gentian blue, and the wheels look great.

What will you be replacing it with?

I can understand your decision!

I have also just had some spine surgery and am also looking at getting better seat comfort. I have also started to look for and tested a bit of one pedal driving cars, since I feel as if it is taking more effort and slight pain to move my feet. May not have changed but feels different.

Even if my car has had very many issues (one of the first Turbo’s in France, Jan -20) it still feels as a fantastic car to drive. Steering, suspension, brakes and road presence is unmatched I feel. So brilliant when all is going well. However all the visits for recalls, glitches, software rectification etc start to wear on me.

Will be interesting to hear what you find to replace your car

I thought I’d replied earlier but I hadn’t. Apologies.
I’m looking to purchase a Range Rover autobiography P550e hybrid. With some options added.
A completely different beast.

Sounds like you've enjoyed your Taycan and that cold 7 is phenomenal!!!

Enjoy the new one. Beautiful! I'm likely letting mine go next week and getting a sport phev

The mission E rims painted in matte silver look incredible. Good luck with the back brother.
