Porche Taycan all EV Sedan

I believe it is. My only problem with it is: you can't get in the car and head out on the road without always considering your charging requirements. I'll wait several years to let things get solved in that respect, before jumping on board.

 

I recently bought a Tesla Model 3 long-range for daily use. It's PHENOMENAL. I also have a 970 Panamera Turbo that I truly love.
I'm keeping both.

 

the Taycan is a bit smaller. The rear passenger space looks compromised a noticeable amount. It's still a sporty touring car though.. so it's going to be a valid replacement for at least some people.

 

The reason I own a Panamera is for longer road trips. I can get up to the sonoma valley wine country, drive around for a few days and then drive home all on a single tank of gas in my '13 S.
I would hate taking a EV for that because who knows if I could find a charging station half way through that trip that would be in any way convenient. And for what reason really? Not to save money if you are spending $100K+ on the car itself. I got the Panamera as a CPO for half that.

 

At least with Tesla you do not have to worry about finding charging stations along major roadways.

 

It still takes 40 minutes to get 80% charge. It takes 5 minutes to fill up with gas. I wouldn't want to be sitting around for 40 minutes plus the additional time to find and get to the charging station when I'm on a weekend road trip. For what reason? Makes zero point zero sense to me.

 

40 mintues - not so much anymore with V3 units. I wonder how Porsche is tackling their charging infrastructure with the Taycan? US Ionity network?
