Addicted to the Electric #porsche #EV! My second #Taycan has been a strange saga - I didn’t get anything that I planned for! Originally I wanted the Taycan GTS Sport Turismo - but the huge increase in price and 2 year wait list put the kibosh on that idea!
So I decided to get another Cross Turismo 4S, as I had done 25k miles in mine and loved every minute! So i spec’d one from scratch in Neptune Blue with double the spec that I had last time - and it got to the stage of the car being built and photos if it being sent to me in the “My Porsche” app. 😅 Then I got a call from Porsche Reading, a Sport Turismo just became available, and I decided to take it!
It’s not perfect, it’s not what I planned for, and I’ve had to retrofit stuff - but I think it’s a win!
Today I’ll run through the spec, advice on how to spec a Taycan 4S along with must-haves and pitfalls - and I’ll even go over their in car purchases for services like Innodrive, called function on demand (it’s better in practice than you think).
Before all that a tour of the new Porsche dealership concept, first seen here at Reading!

CT4 owner here -- this is my take on options:
Must Haves:
- Surround View -- I really can't imagine not having this, the car is huge.
- Performance battery (standard on CT thankfully). Range in the winter is pretty poor as you said.
- Sport Chrono -- I change modes pretty frequently, primarily to alter ride height, but I do wish the compass was more sunken into the dash. It's also pretty expensive but I'm glad I optioned it.
- Rear wheel steering -- I'd have to three point turn into my garage without it.
- Lane change assist -- it's insane this isn't standard on a $100k car
I have several other options I'm happy with, but those are the ones I couldn't live without. I'm keeping an eye on used 4S's but wouldn't consider one without them.
I'm a Merc fan but I like how Porsche lets you option more leather on certain parts of the interior.. really adds to the luxury.
For $5k extra you can essentially finish just about everything in leather.
4:55 Looks to be Carmine Red. Just picked up our 2023 Taycan 4S Cross Tursimo last week, and what incredible machines they are indeed! Congrats on your 2nd Taycan!
Yeah, Carmine Red is my favourite!
Michael Grady - the sales manager at Porsche Reading - is the rudest guy on the planet. He eventually apologised for his rude behaviour to me in an email.
Seems to be a cultural problem in car sales. A lot of bell ends.
Went in to test drive a taycan in Bristol, bloke was completely uninterested the entire time, barely answering any questions I had correctly. I did end up ordering the car, just not from Porsche bristol after the service
Thanks for the heads up so it looks like I'll take my business elsewhere and avoid running into that guy altogether👍
I love this car.
I could never have thought I would say this about an electric car, until the day Porsche loaned me a Taycan Turbo. It blew me away.
I would say for your ST the silver rims would look MEGA. It will tie in with the Crayon interior, silver badging as well as the Gentian Blue paint. The Neodyme / White Gold rims would look good however I would find it a little busy or tacky as then you have a blue exterior, gold wheels, red brake pads, silver badging, and crayon interior.
The little puns on Mercedes truly speak volumes here haha, guess roken is falling in love with Porsche🤣
Fucking E-Performance 😂
I just landed here and, OMG, the special effects on these videos are out of this world! Amazing! Congrats.
I wanted 9 days for this video!!!
Congrats Raz🎉
Tough call on the wheel colors, I do love the white gold, and I do love how they look currently with the machined over black, and I clearly love them in matte black like the GTS, but, I think straight silver would suit this the best IMO.... and I've never liked the Porsche side stripe, but it looked good here
🎉 Congratulations 🎉 Nice choice on ST, should be even faster than CT 🤞 Beautiful cryon interior 👌
Great review. My vote: keep some black in the wheels, matches the trim. Have fun with it - you should do a head to head and compare vs the Benz 63s. If you need an extra driver I’d be happy to oblige 😉
I bought a 2021 Taycan Turbo S with almost every option. I have to say, it's probably the best car I've owned/driven. The Taycan was never on my radar but I'm super happy I got it. Porsche did an amazing job, I can understand why people love Porsche's so much.
I personally like the look of the original cross turismo. I like the more rugged outback look. I vote to stick with the factory wheels and no side sticker! Also hate fake EV sound would never pay for that!
Well done, like all the others you have done. I look forward to my Porsche Dealer here in Newport Beach actually spending some money on a facelift. Cheers!
I wish we had ST in other trims in the US but it’s only offered at the GTS level. Like you mentioned my GTS ST has been on order for 18 months. I’m finally expecting delivery in 3 weeks. Also got gentian blue. Very excited!
18 months wtf. Hou have him now?
Having had heated steering wheel on my Macan GTS where it was really useful as it didn’t preheat, I would say it isn’t necessary at all on the Taycan precisely because it can pre heat. By the time you get in, the cabin is already at temperature so no need for steering wheel to be heated separately. Also you get front heated seats as standard anyway (at least UK spec) so only bother with the upgrade if you have rear passengers regularly benefiting. Kind of goes back to the preheat argument though.
Wonderful car! 👍👍
I've ordered a Taycan 4S Cross Turismo in this beautiful blue, getting it September!
Including all options on the drive train.... 😉
I can tell you what, this Gentian Blue is so much better looking on the Taycan than that Neptune Blue, I think the only Porsche Neptune would really work on IMO would be the 911, and it's not available unless you do the second stage of Paint to Sample where you'd supply your own sample....but once going that far, I definitely wouldn't go for that blue regardless lol, the only blue I would even consider would be a Gulf Blue over Heritage Cognac.... and it still wouldn't be my first or third paint choice 😅
Not a fan of estate/wagons, but I make an exception for this one.
My dream car congratulations on this new car to your garage!!! 👏👏👏
In my opinion all silver wheels would look awesome in my opinion of course!!! 👌🖐️💯❤️
I appreciate the explanation at the beginning, because getting what appeared to be the same car again didn't make sense to me. You flip many of your cars every 20k miles for something that's almost the same frequently on your channel and some times the cars don't have much difference between them, to be honest.
There are no bad-looking Taycans. My GTS ST arrives in around 8 weeks. Have to disagree on the pano roof. Its a no for me (I very rarely have rear passengers). No mention of Rear Axle Steering? As you say, it's a big car and this is definitely something people should look out for on any spec of Taycan
RWS is only useful if you do a lot of city driving and parking
Well done, like all the others you have done
I had a saloon loaner Tacan 4s from Porsche Mayfair - in Gentian and Gold wheels, loved the combo, go for it!
Raz changes cars more often than I change my underpants
Hope that’s daily bro. 🤯
Good example why In-Car-Purchases are in fact not so bad as some people like to think. For people who buy used car it can be really helpful to buy features, which the original user maybe didn't need.
Congrats Raz!
Love the render with the gold wheels ❤️🔥
Can’t believe you’re not a fan of privacy glass 😅
For this sort of car I’d say it’s a must and adds to the look 👌🏻
Awesome car, wheel colour for me would be the satin silver.
I think diamond cut wheels look awesome. If I were you, I wouldn’t touch the wheels. With 2-tone color scheme, they look much better than GTS satin black color, IMO.
I’m warming to you. Nice relaxed hosting. Keep it going
Wow. Fantastic car. Congratulations 🥳 🎉
Interesting how you went from white to the Blue. I made the same switch (in my mind).
that thing looks sick congrats friend
Welcome to the 4S ST club
Loving mine
The rims that you have look really good with the stock livery otherwise that white gold those are beautiful rims look really good on that combination of the blue and the white gold I’m a graphic designer so I know my color and contrast, if money is no object I’d go with the white gold
I have a Taycan Sport Turismo GTS with a lot of options that came with this "stock" car. This included a few options that I would not have ordered, but which I am now very happy with:
- Porsche InnoDrive
Works better than expected on b-roads. If you enter your route on your satnav, the car automatically drives the route. That means that about 90% of the route is correctly recognised and followed by the car. Stoplights are not recognised and without intervention, the car would drive through red lights. Also if the map does not match reality, it can make mistakes. On Dutch motorways, InnoDrive works less well because at just about every crossing overpass the car thinks the speed limit is going to change from 100 to 130km/hour. You solve this easily by switching between InnoDrive and ACC.
- 360 parking camera
The car is a lot wider than expected after all. The cameras where I can see the kerbs all around do seem to be used quite a lot.
- Alcantara steering wheel with heating
Just because it feels great. I now always have the pre-heating on before I leave.
- Intelligent Range Manager
A small piece of software that is very important for planning your trip/charging stops. Just removes a lot of range anxiety.
- Alcantara trim
The Taycan has a sports car feel. Alcantara trim adds to that in my eyes. Is it something you must necessarily tick on the order list? No, but cool nonetheless.
Of course, I agree with this movie that a Taycan should have at least:
- battery pack plus
- Heat pump
- Sportchrono package
About which options I would doubt:
- Electric door of the charging point (I had to have it because it's so cool. But the other day the door refused. Then suddenly you don't get very far).
- Glass roof. I have it. Beautiful thing, but if I had to cut the budget I would leave this option.
Your CGI is INSANE! Keep it up bud
Side sills, badges, knobs… knobs 😂😂😂 spat out my drink
Gorgeous - this is my dream taycan
Swear I saw you a few hours ago in the Atrium Watford with your kids..... I'm a fan btw so regret not saying well done with the career and content!
Neodyme wheels for sure. That is the one thing that is an absolute constant in every config I do on the CT/ST. Looks so good against Gentian Blue. Like a Gen 1 WRX wagon on steroids! Please do it!!
Yes because you want your Porsche to look like a Chavy Subaru
@Paul Hitchens have a play with the configurator... it looks great IMHO. Not trying to make it look like a Subaru, just what the colour scheme reminds me of... jog on...
@@torqueofthedevil8145 have a play with the configurator... it looks great IMHO. Not trying to make it look like a Subaru, just what the colour scheme reminds me of... jog on...
@@espaudio I'm sure you'll be the envy of all on your council estate
@@torqueofthedevil8145 haha. Flog.
Wow, that is a coincidence - I pick up my ST 4s Gentian Blue next month - and I have every optional extra you said was essential 🥳............
Fantastic, loved our Taycan. Shame Reading spent all that money on that new showroom. I mean you need to be a CZcamsr to buy from them don’t you…..
Beautiful color. Probably my favorite Porsche... aside from the Dakar, which kind of doesn't count. And any Singer, which certainly doesn't count.
Super nice config! Wish I could have the Sport Turismo in Norway, but with the road conditions here, I'd have to stick with a CT and all the protection :D
What I really don't like with Porsche is all the paid options. In my Model3, heated seats front/back, steering wheel, comfort access, Active cruise control, autosteer, lane (change) assist and all that is included...
My fav spec for any Porsche. If I had to own an EV , this is the only one for me.
Wheels are superb. Love them, leave it as it
How about rear wheel steering?? Really helps tight parking etc.
I like the silver wheels with Porsche graphics look 👍
Gentian Blue is my new fav. Had Carmine Red that I absolutely loved but was very hard to sell in!
Gentian Blue is sick! I loved white but now in love with the blue (not that I can afford either).
Love this car and great review thanks
Do you have the Air Suspension on your ST? Do you feel it is an important option for comfort?
🚨 Help me decide on the wheels! Vote here 👇
✨ White Gold
🗡️ GT Silver
🚫 Leave stock
Damn. The GT3 Cup. ❤️
Nice! Silver wheels gets my vote
No mention on brakes option like how you had on the white Cross Turismo ☝️
Well it sucks that in the US the only ST available is the GTS and there are no allocations available in the near future. I have a 4S CT on order, it locks late Feb and I’d swap it out for an ST in a heartbeat if it was available here. Oh well.
Love the haram comment! My first time seeing your channel and experiencing a car reviewer with a moral compass! I love it. You got my sub
The diamond cut wheels are great. I’d leave them unless you damage them.
Best ev out there IMHO
Beautiful 😍
I was so close to having one 😩
What other functions are available on the subscription basis?
Just on the weird 1970s grey windscreen bit... you need that or the laminated glass to option the head up display. We were looking at a Gentian Blue 4s CT yesterday, but are very tempted by the cherry metallic. Choices, choices...
Useful to know! Thanks! Cherry has tempted me. I’m not sure I’m brave enough but always envious when I see one.
@@RemoveBeforeRace Why brave? I’m intrigued. The Gentian Blue is stunning, but Mrs S thinks a bit too ‘shouty’. I keep explaining that the Porsche badge is pretty loud, but she thinks the red is more subtle. I do like both… either way we love the crayon interior (perhaps with contrasting slate or black seat centres), so need one of the darker colours on the outside and neither of us are keen on black.
24:09 What’s this little box under the accelerator pedal?
I’d like to see the cross turismo wheels on the ST.
Love those RS wheels but they’re a €4500 option on the RWD & 4S in my neck of the woods
Cool. Love the colour.
The gold wheels 👌
But no stickers 🤦♂️
White Gold with the Porsche Badging
Congrats, lovely car! I would go matt black finish on the wheels. Any wider thoughts on roof rails? I have a SC GTS due this summer and really can't decide on adding them or not?!
the gold wheels set the car off better like on Porsche cayenne GT or audi new rs6 performance
Wonder if roof rails are removable… would give it a sleeker look.
What do you think about the hight of the ST vs CT?
Silver wheels cuz of that crayon interior!
great car with great options. But I wish I have not heard those cheap talks about the Innodrive package. It would be better to tell us that you wanted to advertise the monthly options😄
Over here that color is called ‘Bala blu’. 😀
I went for the GTS saloon, waiting time in the Netherlands is currently 4 months
should have waited there are plenty around now, both variants and the dealers are actually willing to do deals, the market has changed a lot if you're buying now. managed top get ppl of 5k free, price reduction of almost 10k as well - on new turbo s ct. personally I preferred his ct spec to this spec - performance battery innodrive rearwheel steer 360 cameras, electric sound, pan roof all v useful for these cars imho
Love the gold wheels
Did you get a different Taycan CT 4S cause the other one was a lemon? You alluded in the other video to the infotainment rebooting all the time, bricking the car, etc
Congrats 👍
Damn I'm early,
Congrats on a new sick car!
Mabrok bro!
Hey. I'm right on the cusp of buying a Taycan (saloon - either 4S or GTS). How do you get on with this car's size? It's nearly as wide as the i-Pace I had and will be the longest car I've ever owned! What it's like in urban environments and multi-storey car parks (designed to ruin your wheels), and do you always have to raise the car up over speed bumps?
I’ve been waiting two months since purchasing Innodrive over the air and it’s still not installed on the car and currently Porsche have no idea how to fix it. Technology…..great when it works!
Sorry, I love the cross turismo... even more than the GTS. 4s is the way I plan on going. Same blue as the one turbo S that you tested.
Finally, no black interior. 👍
Stunning car
Always class reviews
I'd keep the wheels in that bicolour
Mans breaded
I don't like the interior of the dealership. It feels cold and uninspired. Your Taycan is absolutely gorgeous though
How does this dude afford all these expensive cars? CZcams doesn't pay THAT much...
The light gold wheels with that blue looks boss , do it man
Flat silver rims 😍😍😍😍😍
What’s it like for a dog owner ? Always missing but so essential in these reviews !
Leave the wheels!!!!
My opine...keep original rims....their design says EV and Sport. Did you get Rear Steering? That should be a "must have" as the reduced radius is a delight on my CT and makes this bungalow turn like a Fiat 500! Congrats, beauty of a car
Not much difference in the wheels, prefer the silver to gold.
I like the sunken hub design with 5 spokes, Audi did a great version 20 odd years ago..
