EV Channels Review
The reviewer details an experience renting a Porsche Taycan via Turo for a trip to meet a new puppy. While the primary focus is the Turo rental process and meeting the puppy, the Taycan itself is described as a "beautiful car" and a "masterfully crafted car." The specific model rented is identified as a 2021 Taycan rear-wheel drive, described as the "base model." The reviewer notes positive aspects like the "arrow wheels," distinctive headlights, and the car's overall feel. Charging performance is mentioned, with the car pulling 111 kW initially at a 46% state of charge and holding its curve well. A minor drawback noted is a faint smell of smoke, though the reviewer emphasizes this is not a dealbreaker for a short rental. The reviewer generally recommends Turo for those wanting to test-drive a specific EV they are considering purchasing, but advises caution regarding insurance and the reliability of individual owners compared to major rental agencies.
