to everyone saying that depreciation hits these cars the worst just take a look at prices for the BMW 7 series BMW, 8 series, Mercedes S class, Audi A8 and similar cars. Depreciation hits luxury cars and cars that have a lot of technology the most, it’s just how it is. The Taycan lost half of its value in four years which is pretty average for those types of cars. These are great cars to lease when they are new and buy when they’re used.

Given the prices of cars in the current market, the base model is very competitively priced, and given the current prices of Porsche's offerings, the base model is a relative bargain. Unfortunately, for owners of the old model, I suspect we're shortly going to see Taycans for sale under 40 thousand pounds, maybe even low 30s for those without the extended range battery. And the reality is that the vast majority of people don't need more than a 200 mile range 90 plus percent of the time, just as nobody needs 900 horsepower. It seems to me that older Taycans are quickly going to go the same way as old Panameras, and will maybe even drop below 20k sooner than you may have thought. It'll be interesting to see how prices end up compared to Tesla Model 3 Performance versions as they both continue to age. The Taycan is a nicer car than the Model 3, but it has much poorer range and it already has a reputation for electronic glitches, whereas the Tesla doesn't. Interesting times. Lots of issues to sort out. But ultimately, I like the idea of an EV for commuting, even for long journeys as charge times and infrastructure improve. As long as ICE remains in the mix, and you can still reasonably run an ICE 911/Boxster/Cayman I would be happy enough. All that said; if the new Taycan resolves all of the problems of the first generation cars, it's got to be a winner for Porsche.

The Taycans are pointless. I was considering buying one yesterday, only to discover that 21-inch wheels come with summer tyres, and you cannot purchase winter or all-season tyres for that size. This renders the car useless, as driving it safely in conditions less than 7 degrees becomes impossible. Summer tyres simply don't work effectively in the cold, and they can split. Being a heavy EV, this makes the car VERY dangerous. Living in the UK means the car would have to sit idle on the drive for four months of the year. It's laughable; they don't inform you about this, so be cautious before making your purchase. You can easily verify what I said through further research.

I have been driven my Taycan in Finland and Europe for 3 years now and didn't understand anything you said. My Taycans tyre wear is way less than anything I have owned since 1977 when I bought my first Beetle. I am still on original summer tyres with 5mm deep grooves. My earlier M3:s both E92 and F80 had to buy new summer tyres every year. My winter tyres are almost as new. This is the 3rd winter in Finland. I have 20" on both summers and winters. And I am not a slow driver.

The Taycan is a great car, but I like the older model, it was distinct, this new model seems to be too much alike all other Porsche models, even somewhat bland, depending on the angle you see it. Even the new Macan now has more personality. The interior is now much cheaper, no more the luxury full Race-Tex interiors of before, what is a shame, and just two basic vegan interior options. This refresh can be summed up in just two words, unfortunately: cheaper built. No way anyone comparing would be buying a Taycan for this price instead of a Lotus Emeya for example, a car much superior in every aspect.

Appreciate that this is about a major facelifted product, but there's no balancing of the message in terms of issues. On my recent trip to my local Porsche dealership, there were countless Taycans parked up, all with battery problems. I spoke to a couple of the owners, and they told me it was ongoing issues with th batteries and they were frustrated with Porsche due to having to drop the cars back to the dealership - and there is no courtesy car provided, to boot! Utter shambles! How about doing an investagative report on this or similar issues in the car industry?
