Video Summary
Findings from the video review:- Used Porsche Taycans are potentially bargain buys, but can lose significant value.
- New EVs in the UK bought through a business provide a tax deductible incentive, but that incentive is not applicable to used cars.
- An extended aftermarket warranty from Porsche is available, costing around £1000 per year for unlimited mileage coverage.
- Servicing, typically performed every 2 years or 20,000 miles, may range from £200 to several hundred, especially if tires are needed.
- Real-world range on a family trip with a fully-loaded car in cold weather was 2.4 miles/kWh, but charging speeds are very quick with an 800-volt architecture.
- The tester drove approximately 10,000 miles yearly, mostly home charged, at a fuel cost of around £250.
- The suspension is notably comfortable and wafty but can be tuned for sport performance, setting it apart from a Tesla Model 3.
- This model has good passenger space. Middle rear seating is best avoided.
- Aftermarket warranties for Porsche Taycan offer solid protection.
- The interior's touchpoints are premium.
- The main criticisms are that software navigation graphics are not as good as Tesla’s, with a bit of lag, the driver is bothered by the wireless charging location, and the camera lenses offer poor distortion.
- Dog mode is unavailable.
Overall, the Porsche Taycan is an enjoyable EV and a comfortable daily driver.
