Porsche Taycan (“Turbo” or not) seems to be getting great reviews

I watched two YouTube videos of a British guy (maybe a former racer) try and get a GT3RS allocation at cost. He got denied nonstop. He did finally find one in the second video, but he was forced to buy three Taycan Turbo S’s at the particular dealer at their msrp. He figured he could drive them off the lot and sell them that day for $10k less and then he’d only pay $30k over msrp for his 3RS. Called everyone in his large car network to buy them and no Porsche dealer would because they have tons on their own lots and not selling. Finally he went to his car wholesaler and guy would only offer 70k pounds as new Taycan is being built now. He would have had to buy each Turbo S for 260k pounds. Of course he didn’t do it.

Big improvement on the 2024. More range, faster charging, sounds like they have figured out how to cool them.

Normal Porsche depreciation, kinda. Base Taycan/Panamera have similar prices and similar depreciations. Base Taycans you can pick up for low 60k. Base Panamera you can pick up for a bit cheaper but with higher mileage. Basically same same.

The depreciation winners is the Taycan Turbo. You can scoop them up for an easy $80-90k versus Panamera Turbos are more like $150-160k. Taycan CT Turbos sort of split the middle ground. Much more desirable than regular Taycans, not as desirable as Panamera Turbos.

You see a similar thing with the Ford Escape EV. You can pick up an Escape EV GT for the low/mid 30k range which is a couple grand more than non-GT with extended battery and AWD. Enthusiasts don't really care about Taycans or Escape EVs. The buyers will pay 20k more on the Taycan for the extra range and options but couldn't care less about the extra power or handling. Escape EV GT handles like crap anyway and it's really just a 5 second overboost and no extra power and MagneRide.
