THE 2020 PORSCHE TAYCAN TURBO S IS PROBABLY TOO FAST - ONE TAKE

EV Channels Review

The 2020 Porsche Taycan Turbo S is hailed as a driver's EV, designed by motorsport enthusiasts for an enhanced driving experience rather than mere transportation. Its revolutionary 800V architecture enables faster charging and efficient thermal management, integrating heating and cooling systems for optimal performance. The reviewer highlights the Taycan's "bonkers pace" and "seriousness of build quality," making it a strong contender for the best production EV. While acceleration is described as "bonsai fast" with impressive handling and grip, the reviewer notes the need for more driver focus due to the immense speed and the necessity of using the brakes like a traditional gasoline car, unlike the one-pedal driving of a Tesla. The interior is praised for its Porsche-like feel, excellent steering, and adjustable suspension, though a minor bug with Siri integration and a slight concern about brake fade on aggressive downhill driving are mentioned. Despite its high price point, the Taycan Turbo S is considered a "real Porsche" that successfully blends performance, comfort, and a connection to the driving experience.
