The Straight Pipes review of the 2021 Porsche Taycan RWD highlights its unique position as the most affordable Taycan, starting at $80,000 USD. While it lacks the explosive acceleration of its Turbo and Turbo S siblings (0-60 mph in 5.1 seconds versus the Turbo S's 2.6), the reviewer found its rear-wheel-drive dynamics to be a "hoot," offering controllable drifts and a more raw, engaging driving experience. The "frozen berry metallic" paint and "Blackberry on Slate" interior are noted as standout, attention-grabbing options. However, the review points out significant drawbacks in the charging infrastructure experience, with difficulties accessing chargers and inconsistent speeds, mirroring common non-Tesla charging frustrations. Despite these issues and the fact that this RWD variant isn't officially sold in Canada, the reviewer strongly advocates for Porsche to bring it to the Canadian market due to its fun-to-drive nature and value as a base model.
