@atpfm one more video (in orignal German language only, but google translates I believe): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYIu15OAODg ... there are thousands of comments below ... there are quality issues with the old Taycan ... maybe it is a smaller percentage ... I don’t know, but Onboard Charger and heaters are named here prominently ... as sexy as the vehicle is ... I would reconsider it ...

@atpfm The issue with Porsche Buyers is that they expected to have an „investment“ in to a vehicle long term ... back then there was a saying here „Only for the first Porsche you really pay“. That is definitely not the case with the Taycan ... because of that „investment“ chain of thought Porsche owners happily pay the insane maintenance costs also btw ... good concept of Porsche ...

@atpfm and to understand the Taycan issue better (especially regarding the pre Facelift) I recommend to watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sohjnE-8Vug ... one could think: Wow thats a good deal for me ... you get them cheap ... but some caveats. The whole Porsche electrification is also a huge topic in Germany btw.

@atpfm oh boy ... Porsche, that is a whole rabbit hole to dig in ... but one thing for the two gears in the Taycan. The shifting is happening around 60mph and it is not because of higher torque at launch control or so. It is to reach better efficiency on high speed. So the 2 gear transmission has a total different meaning vs combustion engines ... an torque is not a problem for a e-motor.
