My new ride!

May 31, 2021,23:42 PM
 

After 8 wonderful years with my 911 as my daily driver,  I decided to trade it for this beauty. I loved my 911 to death, but couldn’t resist the change.  After two weeks with my new wheels, the only thing I really miss is the roar of the 911 ICE. But besides that, I find the ride, maneuverability, comfort, power, usefulness, and others miscellaneous things on par if not far superior to my 911. Thank for looking. Cheers. Taycan 2021. It’s a really cool car.

Congratulations! That is indeed a beauty. And a Turbo S is no slouch.

Do you live in an area where charging units won't be an issue? Or maybe you do not have cold winters? One thing for sure is that 4 doors is a lot more useful than the classic 2 doors 911. That is the one aspect that I am missing

Thank you.

I do live close to EA station - 30 mins of free fast charging for 3 years. But, I did get a home charger in stalled as well. And yes, we do get cold snowy winters. Lol.

Wow! Sweet ride. Congrats!

Yes. Very happy.

Thank you.

It was a tough decision.

I had my heart set on a new 911 turbo s. But, the GM loaned me this vehicle for 3 days while they were my 911. And I was sold. Lol.

Possibly.

But that may put dent in my other vices - watches, clothes and gambling! Lol. Cheers, my friend

Huge Congrats,

I really like the look of this Tycan a lot . Maybe the best looking Electric car till today

Agreed. It is very sleek and stealthy.

I am really happy with my choice.

You should have the dealership loan you Taycan for few days to truly get an idea if it will fit your needs.

Congratulations, looks very good ...

Going electric can be a lot of fun. It would be good to hear how you enjoy it over the coming months.

Definitely. Will update as the seasons change.

But it such a relief knowing I won’t have to service the car for 2 years. Unlike the 911 which was up at the shop every 6 months for tire swaps, yearly maintenance.

A good change

Your Taycan looks gorgeous. Is it petrol? Turbo S..... I thought it was an all electric Porsche?

Thank you, sir.

 
 By: drg : June 2nd, 2021-10:20
It is an all electric vehicle. I guess the Turbo S designation is used to imply it’s the top of line car in Taycan series. Cheers

Thank you!

I am finding obscure reasons to drive it. It is absolute pleasure to operate as a daily with added benefits of mind boggling acceleration/speed.

Never understood why they put Turbo S...

On an electric car? No doubt the performance is better than the ICE but I'm a man that has to connect viscerally to my car and that includes sound and feel. I will drive my ICE cars until they blow up and then I'll seek another one until I cannot buy them...  

It’s a beauty!

I don’t know, maybe cuz I’m getting older, or I never “tracked” my 911, I just find Taycan much more exhilarating, functional and practical as my daily driver. I think Porsche nomenclature is now purely based on what they consider their top tier model is ... 

That is correct, Turbo S indicates top of the line in performance for the model.

It does not have any bearing on was under the hood.

I know that, it's just misleading as there is no turbo.

 
 By: jp884 : July 29th, 2021-15:28
Why can't they call it ES sort of like how Audi uses E-tron? Numbering wouldn't bother me as it is not describing a system or part like "turbo". I don't know anyone in our local Porsche community that thinks that was a good marketing nomenclature, just sa... 

You made the right choice.

This is an incredible upgrade in technology and performance. Although it's not a major consideration on a performance car, operating costs also will be far lower. I'm quite jealous! Best, Tim

Thank you!

I love the car. It’s just dream to drive.
