SHOULD I SELL MY LUCID AIR GRAND TOURING AND BUY A PORSCHE TAYCAN?

EV Channels Review

The reviewer explores the Porsche Taycan, specifically a 2021 rear-wheel-drive model, as a potential replacement for their Lucid Air Grand Touring. Initial impressions highlight a comfortable ride, excellent build quality, and engaging driving dynamics, with particular praise for the steering, chassis control, and brake feel. The Taycan's charging performance is a significant advantage, offering rapid 0-75% charging in 14 minutes due to its advanced thermal management and route planning capabilities, which include intelligent battery preconditioning. However, the reviewer notes a lack of outright acceleration compared to other EVs and mentions a known heater issue in early Taycans. While the Taycan excels in driving engagement and charging efficiency, it falls short of the Lucid Air in terms of overall range, interior space, and potentially newer technology, especially concerning software and user interface. The decision hinges on whether the superior driving experience and charging infrastructure of the Taycan outweigh the Lucid's range and space advantages for long-distance road trips.
