Video Summary
Here is a summary of the video:The Porsche Taycan’s first version is coming to an end, a facelift is arriving in 2025. Porsche wasn’t looking to compete with EV startups. The batteries are slightly larger than their official rating, and power is accurate. At the launch, the company spent an hour describing and unveiling the electric motor to journalists. The Taycan was the firm’s answer to lost sales to Tesla brands. Effort has been put into not emulating American car companies' EV success, instead showing the firm's own vision. New-car reviews of electric cars have been glowing. Used car traders have a different story to tell. It is usually the depreciation that becomes focal, rather than the quality. Production of the Taycan started in 2019, after the company revealed the first all-electric car. The car had been first shown in concept form back in 2015, dubbed the Mission E. Successive Cayenne or Panameras owners have come back for a second Taycan model.
Years to have the most choice are 2020, 2022, and 2023, with poor sales in 2019, 2021, and 2024, and fewer trim choices. Sales were affected by lockdowns and supply issues, but over 140,000 have been sold. Models are sold from 2019, while the Sport Turismo arrived in 2021. What separates the car from its competitors is the firm's concentration on handling. The electric steering was lifted from the GT3 team. Rear steering is offered, but owners without it are not too bothered.
Regarding common faults, the most prevalent is battery issues resulting in replacement battery packs; this has been the case on 2019 and 2020 models.
