Yes, yes, yes,..........but.........the BASE model, naked Taycan 4S in Canada is 150k BEFORE tax, so about $170k all in. Not sure if it comes with a steering wheel at that trim level. Call me old-fashioned but I would need to chew long and hard before dropping that kind of money on a car.....

Its no Lucid, but there is clearly major improvements. Glad to see that it is now possible for Taycan to do road trips. Previously, its short range confined it to local driving.

Top speed run comming in

Cool! Don’t forget that your route included quite some climbing (I know it quite well…😅) and you only get a faction back on the opposite direction. 500 Km is quite decent, I would say. Flat route would certainly show you the 550 your were heading for. But you won’t find it where you are right now. Would rather be 400km north… have fun this week, Kyle!

Range test at max speed would be sick. Please do it!

My 2024 Model 3 LR gets the full 250kW (~248kW) when supercharging at lower SOC.

Impressive!

I love the concept of the coast setting. I have often thought that allowing the car to go a few miles faster than set would have a big impact on efficiency.

Words to be stricken from the English language in 2024: Insane. Weird. Wild. Crazy. Bespoke…

Going only 70 mph on the German Autobahn makes you a „Verkehrshinternis“ traffic obstacle! The minimum speed for a Porsche on the Autobahn is at least 100 mph! 😅

Hi Kyle, love your channels. Since you are in Germany and into charging infrastructure, it might be worth the Time to have a look at the new Curb Chargers that are being tested in Cologne Right now. Might be a Game changer for urban areas and other use cases. If you need more details, let me know.

Love how serious there taking EVs, damn, I wish I could get 1

That lag in the UI 😅

Range test at high speeds would be interesting!

How do those Hankook ion evo tires feel & sound? I couldn’t tell from the video if those are the All-Season or Summers.

That looks awesome; I just hope it actually makes money for them and not contributing to the billions of losses. Yes, I miss Compass Yellow, my favorite of the bunch.

I love my garage/house too much to buy an EV.

What a beautiful car ❤

Great review. I drive a CRV and got to sit in a prologue a week ago. I liked it. But like you said, you pay more and get less than the benchmark model Y. I would have been willing to pay more, have the smaller cargo space, higher curb weight, and slower charging if it could have just been a 0 to 6 seconds with reasonable comparison to other vehicles. o to 60 in 7 seconds is atrocious for an electric vehicle in this class.

Super laggy navigator

Kyle Should get a Neck Tattoo!

nice vid.. honestly a top speed run isn't really that interesting imho, because consumption skyrockets at vmax and in real life it's hard to achieve anyways for longer periods. A 180-200kph run on the other hand seems much more relevant, it seems to be the "optimal" speed with these cars (in Germany at least) for the simple reason they charge so fast. @KyleConner : on a sidenote 19.5kwh/100km in not that impressive.. I get 19.5kwh with the base taycan at 125kph.

Love showing your expected charging speed while driving. Hope more manufacturers adopt this.

More test of cars most people cant afford. Great

Pam here…fantastic tour! Very thourough and informative!! A super cool location!

35 mins to fill a tank is still soooooooooo loooooooooooonnnnggggg to wait for around 300 miles. I can fill my petrol car up literally anywhere in less than 3 mins and be on my way with around 450 miles at average of 70 mph. Who needs the hassle of an e.v. on a long run, not me for sure.

Vmax range test!

I wonder how this would do on a cannonball, how would it compare to the old Taycan run you did, how about the lucid run.

Totally want to see a top speed range test!

Wow, this really is such a high quality and high-tech EV. I love the Sport Turismo, it is the best looking version of the Taycan. Worth every penny!

Where is the hydrogen coming from?

Just a tip: The A71 north of Erfurt is a stretch of road which is basically always free. You can hammer it down pretty much all day long :D

315 miles at 70mph is great, it is a dream car. The sedan version with the smaller tires might have come in at around 350 miles!

If you lower it you’ll regret it.

👍👍😎✌️🤟

Great car, too back the fall off in value is so steep.

I got 306 miles in my 2024 Audi Q8 etron.

While way out of my price range, still grinds my gears we don’t get the Sport Turismo. The Cross Turismo is meh

Range test max speed - yes please! Ac or heat on wide open and just see how bad it could be! No one cares about putting around at 70mph behind everyone in the right lane

6:58 - "But they always go farther than what Porsche says..." historically, Porsche has always under-rated their performance numbers. That has followed over to their EV's (unlike some other manufacturers).

I wonder how much the value of this vehicle has depreciated during the watching of this video.

O my!!Thank you so much Kyle, i’ve been waiting for a highway range test in the new taycan for a loooong time. As always you are the saviour

as a current 4s CT owner i cant justify the massive difference in price to get the new one. here where i live the dealer is actually selling a lot of the used stock as only two people have ordered the new car which here is running 20k more expensive like for like.

Maybe the active ride needed lots of power 😅 Wasn't the range result in the iX still better? 🤔

It’s too bad you don’t have someone else there with you. You could do a side by side “old” Taycan vs new, range and charging performance tests. I’d also love to see Turbo vs GT. Lastly, I want to see a video with me behind the wheel 😅

This might've been too basic for some, but as a new EV owner who recently got a level two EVSE (see, I'm learning!) and didn't know most of this information. Happy you all endorse the Autel units! THat's the one I have!

👍

When the first gen Taycan came out, I was worried about the range and I thought that Porsche would be too focused on performance. With this generation, I cannot believe that they achieved it all. The possibilities with EVs are truly limitless and since the drivetrain is modular (engine being smaller and comprising of multiple separate units and the possibilities of splitting the battery pack), a lot more interesting vehicles will come out soon. Also, I think Porsche is one of the most successful EV cars from Germany. Mercedes EQs mostly flopped, BMW's i series is generally just the same ICE car but with batteries, so sub-par integration and Audi's e-trons are just worse Porsches. This may even be one of the most successful adaptations to EVs from a generally ICE-focused manufacturer, except Cadillac Lyriq or Hyundai/Kia/Genesis EVs.

man chevy is killing it lately with these evs. It is like chevy from the 60's. Solving their problems with cubic inches (kw now days) :)

Next week im blasting from Stuttgart to Austria near Vienna in my MY LR 2023. Join me if you like!
