Without doubt, to 108 632 €, the Taycan 4S is far from being a electrical general public, but compared to her sisters, the Turbo (155 552 €), and the Turbo S (189 152 €), it is positioned in front of the Tesla Model S, the version Performance is charged 100 990 €. Unlike the american, the German, does not hide its power, which can vary depending on the battery chosen: 435 hp with the accumulator-based Performance 79.2 kWh or, in option (6 576 €), 490 hp with the Performance model More from 93.4 kWh tried. A power that can climb via the overboost and Launch Control feature of the Pack Sport Chrono to be respectively 530 hp and 571 hp. Despite our large battery and a battery life announced by Porsche, more than 400 km, the onboard computer tells us, the battery is full, a radius of action of less than 350 km. Our course in the majority of motorway, so fuel-inefficient, has allowed us to test the map Porsche Charging Service (free for 3 years, and then 179 €/year) and benefit from the preferential rate (0,33 €/kWh instead of 0,86 €/kWh (price to public) of the few terminals fast network Ionity delivering up to 350 kW.

The battery of 93.4 kWh of our Taycan accepting up to 270 kW (225 kW for the 79,2 kWh) allows to theoretically reload from 5 to 80% in less than 25 minutes, but we have found that it is necessary more. Our level of load is increased from 50% to 85% (from 170 to 270 miles of range) in 15 minutes, 7 km/min in spite of the on-board charger 150 kW (420 €) more effective than the 50 kW of origin. It is in any case better than the 9 hours imposed by the housing 11 kW for a full-on domestic socket. Electric, the Taycan is, especially on the road. For the Taycan is worthy of a true Porsche, Zuffenhausen has used all of its know-how with an air suspension, 3 bedrooms, and even, as here, 4 wheels (2 532 €).

Despite its 4.96 million and its more than 2 tons, this Porsche’s zero-emission twirls with ease and delivers reminders flash via its 4-wheel drive, two electric motors (one per axle) and his box of 2 reports, with the first short, on the train back. Customers are not fooled – the 4S represents 60% of sales. So why spend more?

It would be well that we speak of consumption for the es electric also. The wh per 100 km or whatever. I don’t know why but tesla remains unbeatable

Perfect debility. The boomers in my neighborhood running in circles at 75 to 7 km/h during the confinement with the petrol version and break of hunting. Waste, congestion, danger to the public for the other. A simple acceleration and it is a disaster for pedestrians and other cars. Has put to landfill (electric) without delay.

To respond to Psykotropyk… autonomy is not the only advantage of the Model S. I see a lot more:
– the network of supercharger… free at that.
– conduct stand-alone much more evolved in Tesla even if it rest of the job.
– the info in-flight entertainment with netflix, spotify,… video games, voice recognition, led…
– the trunk of 800l for the model S against 350l for the Taycan. – The 3 seats in the back for the S compared to 2 for the Taycan.
– the price since the 4S (entry range outside option) is to compare reality with great autonomy, which is 25 000€ cheaper. Saw his master, the Taycan (as S) is therefore not a car for the city. But the Taycan is not a car for the road or highway having regard to its low autonomy and its network of supercharger half-starved. This is not a family car due to the lack of a 3rd place at the back and the boot of a Punto. The Taycan is therefore an enigma. What is it to hand make pretty? Make laps of the circuit? Therefore, as compare Taycan and a model S has no meaning, it will be necessary to compare it to the Tesla roadster.
