The Taycan is a dud

I was at a Florida Porche dealer today who had 5 Taycans for sale for $210K/ea.!

Are you kidding me? Only the top 1% can waste money like that.

Champion Porsche? Champion has been getting in many 992 Turbo S’s that were ordered and had zero problems selling one or two that weren’t ordered. Those start at around $210k before options.

Edmunds did a somewhat loose, but interesting test with various EVs and found that the Taycan's official EPA range is an incredible underestimate and much more so than other vehicles some of which seem to be overestimates in real range vs EPA range

It's not like the companies are lying about things--the EPA tests are what they are, but it's important to note that EPA has two different tests you can submit to, one a two cycle and one a five cycle test, and that carmakers can voluntarily lower their rated range. I feel like that's kind of silly for comparison's sake though. It should be one test that is always conducted and always known.

Porsche always underestimates all their performance numbers, the 0-60 numbers they post are so far off it’s funny. They say the new 911 Turbo S will do 0-60 in 2.7. Every car magazine has gotten it down to 2.1 to 2.2 and second only to it’s own 918 which is fastest 60 number of any car they’ve ever tested, the turbo s is second fastest production time. The new Tesla model S will beat both whenever it comes out though. Wait until Porsche puts out a electric hyper car. They just filed a patent in Europe in for a new car.
