Just placed a deposit on a Taycan 4S, delivery last quarter this year. Lots of "man logic" and "man maths" involved...but life is short
Unless its something like a GT3 or GT4 man maths are necessary with most Porsches, but there's no better thrill than something new so if you can afford it why not. As we say over here, there's no pockets in shrouds. I imagine a Taycan will be special indeed so enjoy. I will have to try and talk Belfast into an extended test drive over the summer to wet my appetite for the next change.

It can’t be too extended.

I was at a Porsche event yesterday where they talked about it.

If you don’t have a home charger it will take 40hrs to charge from a 3 pin plug! And if you drive it like every other demo I guess it will be flat in 125-150 miles !

I've installed a 32A Porsche charger for the Cayenne so it would easily charge over night.
