Video Summary
Here is the requested summary of the YouTube video:- The review is based on the presenter’s experience with his personal 2021 Porsche Taycan 4S.
- The presenter has owned two earlier Taycans when they were new.
- This Taycan 4S had low mileage, at 14,000 km.
- It has one year of factory warranty remaining.
- The warranty can be extended annually.
- When new this car retailed for 170,000 CHF.
- The presenter purchased it used at 73,000 CHF representing a price change or drop of 58%.
- Technical issues and recalls have damaged the Taycan’s reputation which have lowered the used car prices much further than expected.
- The presenter painted and refurbished the rims black instead of silver.
- The presenter blacked out the chrome.
- The following factory options are included: the larger 93.4 kWh performance plus battery, the Sport Chrono Package, 21-inch rims, rear wheel steering, seat heaters, and the leather-free, 14-way adjustable sport seats.
- Software updates have been implemented for the rear wheel steering, the battery and thermal management.
- The presenter notes that all Taycan owners have had to replace the cabin heating system’s radiator.
- The electrical motors have been updated.
- Tire pressure sensors, seat belt lock and cables for the front seats have been changed.
- The PCM screen has been updated with colored icons.
- All technical issues on the car were covered under warranty.
- Contacting the local Porsche dealer using the car’s VIN is recommended to check the service history and outstanding repairs.
- Carefully check the car’s paintwork for any signs of accidents.
- Carefully check the tires. Worn tires can mean $400-500 replacement costs per tire.
- The interior must be like new and crisp. Make sure that the seats, dashboards, and door trims are not damaged. If not it can be very costly to repair.
- The presenter recommends extending the factory warranty as it’s very important.
