I don't think it's Sid you've got to worry about, it's more likely to be everyone that would say that they get 300 miles from thiers all year round and it only costs them 1p each time
I’ve had a all model of Taycans, C4S/Turbo/GTS/Turbo S By far the best on miles was the GTS I would get Circa 260-270 everyday all day on a full charge.. I’m not bitter really in regards to the financial loss as I did go eyes wide open, I suppose I Diddnt release the market would change so quickly, and, along with not knowing where the bottom will be…
And you got 260-270 miles (one presumes those are the units?) "everyday all day on a full charge" out of a GTS....
Right oh.
so you have already had the other models and were expecting a) the range to miraculously increase, despite all the information out there about the range of the models, b) the waiting times/ convenience of charging to suddenly change because you were driving the turbo s model??
i think you should you should take your own advice and engage your brian before you post, so you dont make a fool of yourself in front of all the readers of the forum.
thanks for confirming my assumption! you had to buy the the other models to get an s/t allocation and the turbo s for 4rs allocation?? sound about right?? no problem with that, youve got to play the game. a hole.
oh and now your going back for another shafting on a hybrid model and i'll guess we'll read how you had a macan turbo ev in a few months but that didnt meet milage expectations either

A good mate of mine came round today and we went for a decent long drive in his new to him Kia EV6. He got it second hand, it’s a few months old, and paid about £40K for it. Nice enough thing, well engineered and specified, drove quite well, 7 year warranty, not the faintest hint of any personality.
It got me thinking that a £45K Taycan would absolutely kick it out of the park in every metric except possibly efficiency. I know what I would rather have. I think there is a market out there for these cars it’s just going to take a little while to establish itself.

Or EV6 prices are going to plummet too...and then the lower end stuff....It got me thinking that a £45K Taycan would absolutely kick it out of the park in every metric except possibly efficiency.

I tried an EV6 GT prior to trying a Taycan. A mate was considering the former so asked if I'd go take a look too. It got me interested enough to see what Porsche were doing with the Taycan, and here I am now
If the scaremongering abates, These will all find a level and a hierarchy.
t what it'll be worth in the future, it's epic.

If some taycans are £50k now what would you buy that is cooler, faster, as good?
Well, in todays PH car news you could get a primer grey golf 4motion ‘warm’ hatch for 40K. I’m not quite sure if it qualifies as cool, fast or good though. Meanwhile, now Taycan 4S with the 93kw battery can be had for below £45k.
It happened faster than I thought. I was half-joking when I said mid thirties by Eester, not so sure if that's laughable now.
Tremendous car for that price. If I can find one with a warranty I'll probably go for it.
Most don't have OPC warranty as they're handed back to a lease company or dealer outside of OPC and I understand the warranty is invalidated that way.
What could one expect for a 111 check price on these? A couple of grand worth of remedials? But on what even? No oil, tyres will be original or so and there's few consumables, all these cars are below 50k miles.
adding, Porsche is now offering the reduced but still crazy high 9.9% interest on used Taycans (up to a year old).

I guess Porsche could ask you to sort any common issues that haven't been attended to by the previous owner.
Some are more "campaign" related (battery sealant/coolant as an example), so would likely not be chargeable anyway. Others might incur cost - only one I can think of might be the heater.
I don't think you'd really know until putting it through the process though. So ask a seller to, as a minimum, put the car through the warranty check at their cost.
Thing is, I would expect them to say "if you want a car with that sort of "guarantee", OPCs have plenty of stock".
It's a buyers market right now and there are some great prices out there. A couple of very nicely spec'd GTSs for sub-90k now from an OPC. At least one was sticker Ed at 126k last summer.
