Don’t you usually need to add a load of option$$ to Porsche’s though?

That's pretty good for an £85k Porsche assuming you are happy with the standard spec and stay well away from the options list.

Reflects the fact that they're expecting pretty solid residuals for the class, I guess.

Yes. Even basic stuff that you get as standard on cheaper cars you have to pay extra for on the Taycan. Heated front seats and keyless entry for example.

Indeed. I've just priced up a Taycan 4S to similar equipment to our £52k Model 3 P so added

Panoramic glass roof - £1137
20" wheels - £1776
14 way electric seats with memory package - £1170
Folding mirrors - £210
Parkassist + reversing camera - £480
Innodrive + adaptive cruise control - £2300
Seat heating front and rear - £615
Bose surround system - £960
Powered charging port cover -£443
Painted Brake Calipers - £581

I'm sure there's some things I've missed but that little lot adds up to best part of £10k and I've not even started adding any of the clever Porsche only stuff.

As you usually pay for the total cost of options over the lease term that's an easy £400 extra per month..

Once you start adding options that price goes through the roof! I have enquired.

For anyone who wants a bog standard car without metallic paint and horrible 19'' wheels its a good deal!

I just went to the Porsche website and tried to build a Taycan and my head is spinning. It just seems way too compliacted with all these add-ons (and expensive).
Thats what I liked about Tesla. Choose your model (out of only 3), interior/exterior colour and thats about it. Simples.
Any upgrade (free or paid) over the air after I have the car is a bonus.

Key one is "150kW DC on-board booster" at £294 so that you can make good use of the 150kW stations popping up now. Without it you'll get 50kW on CCS (at 400V), or need to find a special 350kW (800V) charger like Ionity.

Genuinely staggering some of the things they have as options on an £85k car.

Will the residuals be good though? The electric vehicle market is going to start moving a lot quicker and this car will be put in the shade quickly IMO. If I wanted one of these a lease deal where I have a good GFV like that would be the safest bet.

Put in the shade by what? Porsche have always had a certain market segment to themselves, I don't really see that changing with EV's personally.

Sorry to be clearer I meant put in the shade by new technology making this yesterday’s Electric car very quickly. We really are at the very early stages of the development curve here.

Yes and even lighter batteries which will vastly improve handling, the list goes on.

When I got my first Tesla 4 years ago I thought the same - its only marginally moved on from then. and the reason I cnaged cars is because that was a company car and i left the company.

I suspect the tech won't move on much at all in terms of battery for some time, incremental yes, transformational no, given Porsche are already the first to offer 800v battery packs

I actually think the lease deals are pretty poor, seems a lot over 2 years given there is no used car market out there for any cars delivered to compete against. But I casually looked at the e-tron prices earlier today and already heft savings on virtually new cars. People still aren't buying EVs. other than the Muskadites.

Go on.. you know you want to.
Over 30% of RRP for a two year lease is poor value, based on 10k miles pa.

Not for an £85k car in this class it isn't. Have a look around at what cheaper cars like the Audi RS5, Merc C63S etc. would cost you on those terms.

Both the Etron and iPace have been way way cheaper to lease.

However much EVs advance over the next few years, this isn't going to look as archaic as an ICE powered equivalent.
