Why noisy Goodyear’s ?? Put the Michelin P4S on the car!

Quite frankly all these reviews are a yawn.

@stout posting and the Jalopnik review are my favorites so far.

The Wall Street Journal also just put up their review and they also compare it to the Tesla Model S

Really there isn't a current EV that I would swap my 720S or 991.2 GT3 RS for - richer and more desirable, I think not as I suspect those that own Lambos and Fezzas might attest to as well.

EVs will continue in their development and will eventually become engaging - this will take approx 5 years for higher end vehicles and a long time for others.........liquid organic electrolytes will eventually be removed from batterries, ultimately improving energy density and power to weight.

Right now, the Taycan looks great and answers a lot of questions but it still has a long way to go but a real step in the right direction compared to others.

Sorry. Too busy/lazy to post quotes (though I'll try, but doubt it). LOL

Yes!

Excellent; informative, entertaining/well produced (so far) review by Fully Charged show


Johnny's review and presentations so breezy. He appears to convey more information than others about the day to day operations of the Taycan, while simultaneously reflecting on it's driving dynamics (both as an EV, and as a Porsche) with a little humor thrown in. Well done.

He could be talking about the one you pay for the car may have come with.

But I agree. The natural sound of the Taycan, sounds fine with me.

Georg is a seriously sold authority in the automotive press world. He knows what he's driving.

I had actually thought the Taycan's artificial sound was pretty decent at first. But after all the videos I've watched I realize that I'd never use it. Just got too annoying. Already.
