Hi everyone,
Last week I went to picked up a beautiful dolomite silver Taycan Turbo. Paid 94k euros for the car, equipment is generous though. RWS, PDCC, Burmester, HUD, Innodrive, Night Vision, Acoustic glass, 4 zone AC, Passenger display, Ventilated seats, etc. Its a Porsche center employee car with 73k km on clock but condition is pretty good. Assuming its got mostly HPC charging, battery SoH reads 90.47%.
Dolomite silver is an interesting color that in full sun looks grey and in cloudy conditions turns blueish. Chalk interior looks the best for me, modern and sporty.
The good things:
- impressive acceleration and great ride quality, feels more comfortable than my Panamera Turbo S Hybrid. NVH is similar and I'd like less road noise as both get noisy on rough asphalt but from wide 21 inch wheels more noise is expected.
- PDCC/RWS make it so agile in turns and country roads, a joy to drive.
- Burmester sound quality is excellent but at 80% volume there's too much vibration from door panels, anyway its too loud at that level.
- HUD is very clear and easier on the eyes than digital screen on long night trips.
- Ambient lighting is nicely done, not too bright just to see more inside at night.
- Innodrive with lane keeping seems good enough and no issues on my last 2000 km road trip.
- Plug & charge works fast with Ionity
- seats are comfortable even after many hours of driving.
The not so good:
- key fob not detected sometimes
- door handles not extending every time
- PCM froze once for few minutes and sometimes reacts a bit slow
- surround view is pretty low res same as Panamera
- missing the soft-close doors
- feels a class below Panamera, plastic cover on B-pillar is lower quality and rear pillar should be leather wrapped at this price, but I'll get those wrapped in leather soon
Overall I really like the Taycan and my first electric road trip was problems free thanks to many HPC stations. However Porsche must improve the software and some materials in the next generation.
Here are some photos:
