Found a 3000 pound trailer and wondering is the Taycan can tow this? I currently daily a 718 Boxster S but thinking about switching things up.

If it could tow, it great help make my wife happy with a potential purchase.

I think towing will completely destroy the range (see for example the many articles / videos on the F150 Lightning and the terrible range it gets when towing). EVs are not a good solution for towing if you're expecting to be able to go anywhere near to the car's typical range without charging.

Taycan is not to be used for towing

weight is one of many factors for towing, i doubt the wheelbase on a taycan is long enough to tow a flat trailer that can fit a boxster. physics are a hell of a thing

From what I understand the Taycan is not spec'd for towing from Porsche.

while I agree Taycan is not a good vehicle for towing - it's wheel base is not the issue - 114.2 inches (according to Porsche's website) vs. Cayenne's 114 inch wheel base…no I'm not sure the Taycan's wheel base is the issue…

it might tow just fine, but range is going to go into the absolute toilet - no way it goes very far - and fastCharging stalls typically are not "pull through" so - stopping to charge will require disconnecting/parking the trailing to charge it…towing with an EV is a PITA - no question.
