2024 TAYCAN MARKET CRASH: IS NOW THE BEST TIME TO BUY?

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Porsche Taycan GTS is presented as a compelling purchase opportunity amidst a significant market crash for EVs, with values dropping dramatically. The reviewer, a former Taycan owner, highlights that while the market depreciation is severe, it presents a chance to acquire a highly capable electric sports sedan at a fraction of its original cost. The GTS trim is praised for its balanced performance, styling (especially with the sports design package), and driving dynamics that truly feel like a Porsche. Key strengths include its engaging handling, low center of gravity, and the optional emotive electric sound. However, criticisms are leveled at the numb brake feel and the lack of significant differentiation between driving modes, leading to underutilization of sportier settings due to range anxiety. The reviewer also emphasizes crucial optional extras for used buyers, such as the Performance Battery Plus, electric sport sound, five-seat configuration, 360° camera, and adaptive cruise control. Despite the arrival of the new Taycan facelift with improved range and efficiency, the reviewer argues that the current GTS offers 80-90% of the experience for a much lower price, making it a 'no-brainer' buy for those seeking the "Porsche of electric cars" without the risk of further depreciation.
