- New Porsche RWD Taycan has landed!! Key Differences from other trim levels & First Drive Impression! Since the release of the Taycan/Mission E a couple years ago we al thought the pricing was going to start somewhere in the 80k range! Initially the Taycan Turbo and Turbo S models were released with a price point north of $150k. This left a lot of people wondering with the Taycan ever come in below $100k as initially discussed? Late 2020 Porsche finally released the standard Taycan for the U.S. and European markets as it was initially released in China. In this video I finally get my hands on the long awaited Taycan RWD and discuss the differences you'll find in this model opposed the other models along with first drive impressions with a launch control! Let me know what you think of the new RWD Taycan down in the comments! Thanks for your support! See you in the next one!

Thanks. I’m trying to choose between the standard and 4s and this video was really useful.
Glad to hear! Thank you 👍🏼
Good job on the Taycan details. Thanks for teaching me the launch function. I just put my order on base Taycan. A little small for tall family but porsche resale value and 7500 rebate helps make this decision easy. Plus I have an suv already.
Thank you Steve! Appreciate it! Congrats on the Taycan! Let me know if you have any questions along the way! 👍🏼
Thank you so much for this. I needed to hear this detail to know what options to add. My verdict- none. The base model works for my needs. Thanks again.
You're welcome! Perfect! Let me know if you have any questions along the way 👍🏼
I’d add the performance battery and premium package and call it a day.
8:22 - Thank you for this review. Speaking of the dynamics.. did you notice sitting up slightly 'higher' in the RWD driver's seat compared to the 4S? I heard this in another review, that the driver does not sit as low in the RWD compared to the 4S. Maybe something to do with either the suspension options or the battery underneath?
Gorgeous car! These magical Porsche headlight tricks blow my mind! Great wheels and beautiful interior!
I know right she is a beauty 😊
Sweet bro! I haven’t driven it yet, can’t wait!
Gotta try it out buddy see what you think 👍🏼
Awesome review! Thank you
You're welcome! Thank you for your kind words! Let me know if any questions come up along the way 👍🏼
Perfect!! You are the man. Thanks soooo much.
Thank you 🙏🏼
I think this is actually our actual car!. We probably picked it up at Porsche Irvine right after you shot this. I agree with everything you say. 90 days in, this is probably my favorite car ever-and we have had some nice ones, including 3 Panamera’s. My last car was a Tesla Model X P100D-in other words the fastest model they made at the time. This Taycan is WAY more comfortable, has way more range and when I drive to LA and back, my butt isn’t sore from the crappy Tesla seats! It is also handles and stops better by far. It’s a Porsche for God’s sake! It also charges at those high powered chargers out there at about 3x the speed of a Tesla supercharger. (Sorry Elon. But your digital platform is way better. No one will ever beat you on that!)The only thing I can’t do is beat a McClaren at a stoplight. But that opportunity doesn’t come up too often. Oh, by the way, it also cost over $40k less than the Tesla and the payment is about $1000 per month! It’s a real no brainer!
Hey there. Can I ask which seats you went for in your Taycan?
The Taycan is an awesome daily driver and a road tripper.
Thanks for the review Mason, amazing thorough as always!
Thanks Ron appreciate the support! She definitely is 😊
Ron ... regarding your comment “awesome road tripper”. Can you share with me your experience taking a Taycan on road trips. How far have you taken it, what kind of range did you get, what kind of charging times did you achieve and how reliable were the chargers? My wife and I test drove a Taycan and a Panamera last week and we liked both vehicles but the Taycan had more of a wow factor. The Panamera would be an awesome road trip car on the highways. My concern is taking the Taycan on road trips. We live in NC and the charging networking appears to be very sparse. Would be a waste to have a $100k car sitting in garage while taking my 9 year old Volvo SUV on trips.
Any insight in terms of road trips would be fantastic Ron, for our friend Tom! 🙏🏼
@@Pcarwhisperer thanks for the reminder Masson, really annoying that I lost the reply I did last night. 😞 Google is always watching. 🙄
No wonder Bill Gates chose Taycan over Eloncar😂
Keep it up! Thank you!
Thank you Gianmarco 🙏🏼
I love RWD, specially electrical, how the front lifts a bit when you accelerate. And the oversteering 😍
Thanks for the review. That was a very detailed comparison. Would you get the adaptive air suspension with this car, or did you find the standard suspension adequate?
Thank you Khalid! I would stick with the standard suspension as it felt great! 👍🏼
Is there a way to turn off the auto dimming feature of the rear view mirror? I have tinted windows and once I leave the garage I can barely see anything in the mirror. It becomes far too dim
Mason, great video! What were your impressions of the steel spring suspension in comparison to the air suspension (in the 4S)...besides not being able to adjust the height, was there a significant difference in the ride and corner control? Thanks for your thoughts.
Thank you 🙏🏼 great question! To be honest I couldn't tell a huge difference between the steel springs and air suspension handling! I believe if you don't need to raise and lower the car it is not necessarily worth it on the standard Taycan! Hope this helps
@@Pcarwhisperer The Mercedes SL 550 with air suspension, I have never raised the car, mind you, I did repair once the air suspension that costed over 3 thousands Canadian dollars.
is there not a sunroof option on the Sport Turismo? I was building on the configurator and I could not see a glass roof. I would be curious to see how fast you can take the west bound 405 ramp on to the 133. I bet she really sticks to that corner. On launch, why do you need to keep the brake down? I understand on ICE engine where you need to get the RPM high to launch in the peak of rev range but it seems with Taycan, you could just floor it, without needing the brake?
The panoramic sunroof is standard on the Cross Turismo 👍🏼 The configurator does not reflect this when showing you the generated image! Oh yah she would be cooking! The brake needs to be held down because this puts the car into overboost for 2.5 seconds where more power is supplied to the electric motor(s) 👍🏼 It increases the power pretty significantly the standard Taycan with standard battery has 321hp normally but in launch with overboost 402hp!
Thanks for the video. Can you manually lift the rear spoiler or is it only activated above 50mph or so, not sure when it goes up?
Thanks Steve! You can lift the rear spoiler into a "Manual Cleaning Position" via the PCM.... not quite like other Porsches where you can raise it all the way via a button. This cleaning position on raises it only just a bit! At 56mph it will raise a bit into an eco mode... 99 mph into an intermediate position and 124 mph into a performance position (55 mph if Sport Plus mode). Hope this helps! 👍🏼
@@Pcarwhisperer wow thanks for the detailed Information 👍 this is great
Another excellent video Mason. After driving the base Taycan without the Sports Chrono package do you think it is worth the extra $1,320?
i think it depends what version of taycan you get - for a base taycan, not sure if its worth it.
Thank you Tom 🙏🏼 I like the Sport Chrono package but don't believe it is vital in the Taycan and worth the additional $1320 in the standard Taycan! 👍🏼
Exactly Juan! I agree!
Love that interior I’m a sucker for two tone!
I like it too... first time I have seen it and I am a fan!
Very nice video- as usual!! You really seem to know a lot about the technical points of Porsches (including the Taycan). I like to deal with a knowledgeable person when I'm buying a car, are you a Porsche salesman? On another topic, I had a late model Corvette which I hated because after about a year when the tires got hardened a little it would break traction starting up around a corner and the back end would pop out. I would be concerned that would happen with this car. What do you think about that?
Thank you Charles! I am obsessed... I dream about Porsche at night 😂 I am a Porsche salesman as my day time job formally a Porsche Service Advisor.... I do this channel for the love of the brand and to share my passion! In terms of tires I have not seen our tires harden that quickly 🤔 Porsche says after 6 years regardless of tread they need to be replaced due to that exact reason. I also believe it also depends on the type of rubber compound and type. This particular car had all season tires on it but if they were summer tires this may happen but the rubber would need to be quite old. Now if we turned off the traction control the back end would pop out quite easily regardless of tires! Hope this helps 👍🏼
@@Pcarwhisperer So how do I get ahold of you if I need a Porsche salesman? -Service Advisor
@@ChuckJ1944 Email me at gilchristm1@autonation.com 👍🏼 I am out of the office for the next 4 days or so but will be back next weekend if you have any questions.
@@Pcarwhisperer I just bought a Taycan. This would be to replace my 2018 Volt down the road. I was just trying to figure out how I get you in my Rolex for when I want to replace the Volt.
Pretty in depth
Thank you 🙏🏼
What’s the color of the leather interior? Also, the news for 922 2022, does they apply for Taycan 2022?
The interior color is Black/Chalk! Have not heard quite yet but wouldn't be surprised! Once I know the updates to the 2022 Taycan I will make a video 👍🏼
Nice vid
Thank you 🙏🏼
Would you get a 4s or upgraded base for 120k ... added...larger battery, sports design package, e mission wheels, sport chrono' air suspension ' metallic ice grey..wondering whether I should you get the 4s with fewer options.
Great question! Personally I really like speed so I would go with the 4S with fewer options! The standard Taycan is still plenty quick but after driving the 4S-Turbo S models I have gotten a bit used to the speed of those cars! But if going fast is not important to you then I would say forget about the other models and go standard Taycan and load it up with some options! 👍🏼
Drive both back to back, i was sold on Base Tacan, until I drove the 4s. The power difference is night and day, also you can negotiate about 2k lower (plus if you are already spec'ing stuff like air suspension and ambient lighting that comes with the 4s, it slowly makes more and more sense).
I am looking at getting the base Taycan or a Macan Turbo. they are about the same price as I built them. You seem super knowledgeable and would like your opinion? I loved the speed and sound of the Turbo Macan. But the look of the Taycan is pretty cool. Im ready to flip a coin lol
Hey Eric thank you for reaching out! Really appreciate it! Mhmm that is a great question and a tough choice! Do you need the extra room in the back seats or rear trunk? The Macan Turbo does sure sound good! If I were choosing between the 2 I could go with the Taycan for several reasons... the driving dynamics are amazing on the Macan but even better on the Taycan literally feels like a 4 door 911 when it comes to handling partially because of the amazing weight distribution between the front and rear. The amount of the technology that has gone into the Taycan is significant when it comes to the charging, interior layout (instrument cluster, PCM and center console with the touch screen at times feels like something from the future. Over the course of the vehicle your maintenance cost will be dramatically decreased as it only needs service every 2 years or 20k miles. Even then it is brake fluid and filters, most updates to the car can be completed via Over the Air (OTA updates). Now with with all this being said as amazing as it is there are still some quirks that are being worked out when it comes to charging at an Electrify America stations as they struggle at times. There are still some software bugs here and there but Porsche is working on them constantly to improve them. On the flip side there is no denying the Macan turbo is a beast... probably will be one of the last generation internal combustion engine Macan's as they car is due for a refresh and is said to be going EV. This could be one of the final years to get a Macan that is not electric. The refresh is said to happen by 2023 with a new redesign.... possibly even next year! The industry is heading towards EV's as they see this as the future and I can promise you the Taycan will not disappoint! The Taycan is the future of tomorrow...today!! Hope this helps Eric! Sorry for the long windedness! Please let me know if any further questions arise!
@@Pcarwhisperer wow that’s a lot of great info. I didn’t know about a possible refresh in the next couple years. I don’t need the more space. I do love the tech on the Taycan and flat out the car just has amazing curb appeal. I think you just helped me make my decision. So next question then is stick to the base or go 4S? Have not driven the 4S as of yet. I was very much happy with the base. From everything I’ve read online, best value is the base?
@@theufan7 Get the base. 1 second acceleration time isn't worth the extra money.
Thanks for sharing. I think the Taycan looks great, except for the black plastic you get with the RWD seems really cheap. Although you can build your own car, the add ons are extremely expensive! I love how you said gas pedal lol 😂 I did the same thing when I got my electric car 😂
You're welcome! Im with you on the plastic the painted bits do look better for sure! Accelerator is going to take some getting used too!! 😂
I like the plastic. Very good for a daily, as not worry as much of spoiler scratches when you rub curbs.
I can see your very super excited ...
Oh yah! Anything Porsche gets me fired up!!
Im getting this next week. I live in boston. Should i be worried driving this in the rain or snow with out snow tires?
Congratulations! Thats awesome! Which wheels did you configure?
@@Pcarwhisperer 21 inch mission e design
@@Pcarwhisperer should I be worried and suggestions?
@@farzadghorbani Awesome! Mission E are top dog in my opinion! 👍🏼
@@farzadghorbani No not at all! I am excited for you! You're going to love it! Be sure to get you DC charging service set up! Where do you live? It will differ slightly depending on which country and region. If you are here in the US make sure you have the electrify America charging set up. If you are in Europe make sure the Ionity charging is set up for those longer road trips! If any questions arise do not hesitate to reach out!
Thanks for the review. The mic you use sounds robot-y, it almost sounds like your voice is being sped up. Just food for thought. Upvote either way.
Thanks for your feedback and support! You are the first person to mention it but you are exactly right I tend to speed up my videos just a little bit quicker than real time in order to provide the information at a faster rate but since have not made it quite as fast! Good catch! 👍🏼
Greetings from Germany. I ordered the RWD with the big battery. I will not stay in the right lane of our Autobahn like the Tesla do. I intend to book into the left lane and chase the other cars.
Fantastic! You are going to have so much fun on the Autobahn with your new Taycan! Love it! Show them how its done 👍🏼
The fact you have to pay extra for auto high beams and gloss black trim for the the starting price of 85,000 not pleased
Diesel Panamera please
The Stone-Age called they want your brain back.
It's weird that in the shot of the wheels spinning with the Porsche logo (6:43), the camera’s shutter angle makes the logo kind of look like a swastika. Is this just me?
I didn't notice that until you mentioned something... does look a little funny. 🤔
@@Pcarwhisperer I noticed that too but the review was great. So is the car! Thank you!
