This is the Porsche Taycan Turbo S. It was a tough choice between this and a Tesla (both are awesome cars). The Tesla has a lot more in terms of autonomous tech/software where the Taycan leans into Porsche's racing heritage/feel. The Taycan Turbo S is likely a touch faster around a race track compared to Tesla's current performance model as well (if that matters to you).I Finally Bought an Electric Car... | Unbox Therapy | January 8, 2021
If you like to fund the luxurious lifestyles of MB mechanics everywhere then this will be the car for you.
Pretty paint job....................
Now you too can have a car powered by coal and push your local electrical grid to the brink, year round!
All well and good but kids today want only one electric vehicle and it’s the one Elon Musk makes
Would not want to own it at almost any price. Very soon such a statement will be tracked by the FBI, NSA or homeland security and will label the writer as a “subversive”. Soon such writers will show up at airports and find they are on “no fly” lists. Far fetched? Paranoid?
I’d like to know how well this vehicle performs in sub zero weather conditions like we have here in the Northern United States.
Until that is shown I’d stay away from it.Unless your living South of the Mason-Dixon line or plan on Garaging it for the winter.
Amazing how it takes the vision and perseverance of just one man to bring about change to an entire industry. One by one all major manufacturers are getting on the EV train.
I’m tempted to buy a Tesla, but until I can fully recharge an electric car in close to the time it takes to refuel my gas-powered car, the EV will have to be a second car. I want the freedom to travel from the Bay Area in CA to LA or San Diego, or AZ, or even TX whenever I please, on my schedule. An electric car won’t let me do that, not without long stays at some recharging station.
A few years back I made a post on here detrimental in regards to turbos and how I refused to ever own one. I got reamed and schooled about how much better the new and ‘technology improved’ turbos were so much better than the earlier ones.
Then, I began to read how so many engines were being coked up and such with carbon due to turbos and the newer fuel injection ‘technology.’
I maintain to never own a turbocharged vehicle and the same applies to any electrical vehicle.
Because I didn’t see it mentioned elsewhere in the comments: “The automaker did not release pricing for the EQS, however industry experts expect it to easily top $100,000”.
Nice car, now if they would just put a beefy V8 under the hood and make it AWD they might be onto something.
I couldn't care less how luxurious it is...no sale.
Read and wish later.
