I'm Not Selling My Porsche Taycan Turbo S and Here's Why!
The reviewer, after 1000 miles with his Porsche Taycan Turbo S, confirms he is NOT selling the car, contrary to many viewer expectations. He highlight... mores that while early EV adoption involves a learning curve, the experience has been "significantly more positive" than anticipated. Key positives include the car's Porsche driving dynamics, instant torque, quiet and luxurious ride, and the convenience of home charging (though he currently faces logistical challenges with rented garage spaces). He addresses common criticisms, such as charging times, demonstrating that a 3-78% charge takes only 37 minutes, not the perceived two hours. He also notes the UK's charging infrastructure is improving, though acknowledges it differs from other regions. The reviewer emphasizes that embracing EVs requires an open mind and a willingness to learn, comparing it to learning any new technology.

3% Battery Left! My Porsche Taycan Turbo S Rapid Charging Experience
The reviewer documents their first experience with a 350kW Ionity rapid charger in their Porsche Taycan Turbo S, aiming to assess its viability for lo... moreng road trips, including a journey to the Nurburgring. Despite initial range anxiety with the battery dipping to 3% and facing cold weather conditions, the charging experience proved surprisingly positive. The Taycan, with its 800-volt architecture, achieved a 3% to 80% charge in 37 minutes, a result the reviewer found "pleasantly surprising" and manageable during a service stop. While the full 3% to 100% charge took over an hour, the reviewer concludes that EV road trips are feasible with proper planning using charging apps and navigation.

This Is the New Colour for My Porsche Taycan Turbo S!
The reviewer documents the initial stages of transforming a new Porsche Taycan Turbo S, focusing on a vinyl wrap to Midnight Green and the installatio... moren of a tracking system. The video highlights the stark contrast between the Taycan's silent, electric operation and the V8 rumble of the accompanying AMG GT R Roadster. A significant portion is dedicated to the practicalities of home charging, revealing that a standard 3-pin socket provides a very slow charge rate (1.4 kW), estimating over 60 hours for a full charge, which the reviewer acknowledges is not ideal for daily use but part of the EV learning curve. The reviewer expresses a desire to personalize the Taycan due to uncertainty about long-term EV ownership, opting for a wrap over a factory color.

While acknowledging the car's technological prowess and its status as a glimpse into the future of electric sports cars, the reviewer notes its limited range (around 160 miles claimed) and the unusual sensation of immense speed without engine sound. The car's rarity and high value are emphasized, with the reviewer even questioning if they should have bought one instead of their SLS Black Series. Ultimately, the experience is deemed brilliant and a testament to Mercedes-Benz's engineering foresight, despite its limited commercial success at launch. less

Positives include the seamless integration of technology, the intuitive infotainment system, and the surprisingly decent real-world range (around 300 miles in cold conditions despite aggressive driving). However, the reviewer notes the car's weight (around 2,300 kg) and the slightly awkward ingress/egress due to the B-pillar placement. The artificial sound generation in Sport+ mode is described as "strange."

Positives include its smooth ride, attributed to manual Ohlins dampers, excellent visibility, and a comfortable, luxurious interior with carbon fiber accents. The reviewer notes the car effectively disguises its substantial 2,350 kg weight. However, the reviewer found the acceleration in pure electric mode less potent than expected, and the four-cylinder engine's sound is described as a 'rasp' rather than a sporty note. The top speed run on the Autobahn reached the electronically limited 250 km/h with ease, showcasing the combined power. The limited production of 1,500 units makes it a rare vehicle. less
