If you ever wonder about doing the grandson bits, just do it. They make me laugh every time.

Not having to have a million apps on your phone for each company offering charging would be a game changer yeah.

Mr. Harry , you've done it again. Superb! The most objective and honest real-world review. The first one who doesn't concentrate only on acceleration. Who the hell buys a car only for stoplight racing??

The little nugget at the end reminded me of what "the thrill of driving" should be about and giggling at the small joys we have available to us. Thanks for including that Harry, we could all do with moments like these in our lives

We need a lot more analysis from the back seat driver.

same electrical acceleration noise as the Johnny cab in Arnies Total Recall.

As a Taycan owner who watches most of the KZfaq videos on this topic, Harry's review is one of the best. A few comments. (1) Range is dependent on many factors, and in the Taycan, regenerative braking is disabled for a few hundred miles in new cars to ensure brake bed-in. The range calculator also learns from your driving behavior. Harry reported range through two charging cycles, which is well within these limitations. (2) Harry's video has a constant level of road noise throughout. Note that the optional thermal and sound insulated glass option gives the Taycan possibly the quietest car interior ever made. (3) Cargo capacity is improved by the roof rack mounting system available with the panoramic glass roof. This system is compatible with Thule components, such as bicycle, cargo, and canoe mounts. Note also that the seats fold down, and with the optional center rear seat, there is a ski pass-through fold down between two rear seat occupants. The outer rear seats have child seat attachment points as Harry demonstrated. (4) The interior refinement that Harry comments upon is upgradeable to the point that the Porsche Taycan won the World Luxury Car of the Year award for 2020. In the UK, tax incentives for electric vehicle lease or purchase penalize the purchase of options, so we see extremely frugally optioned Taycans in UK reviews that are lacking in interior refinement.

The end of the video was awesome Harry, thank you☺️

Love the back seat driver. Expert opinion right there. 😂😂😂

Thanks for all your great videos, Harry! May God bless you and all in your family.

Best car channel on youtube i swear. No one does car reviews like Harry does. Great work sir!

Great show loved the kids reaction to speed and especially the trip on the old rolls keep the good work up 👍

Best bit is always the smile on the Grandson’s face when the speed kicks in and the words “Again!” Nice work Harry!

The mistake you made here harry was you didn't park the car close enough to charge point

As usual, Harry provides the best review of the Taycan I’ve seen! Brill video! Thx

As a toddler in the late 70’s, I had an 1:18 scale 911 in almost that exact color. It was my favorite toy and it’s what got me into cars as a young kid. Still remember being fascinated by those Fuchs wheels.

The Northern Jubilee Line. Thanks for that one!

I remember when I first went from the Central Line platform at Stratford down to the Jubilee Line. It was the best electric motor sound I'd ever heard. Pretty much still is. Compared to the other underground trains, it sounded powerful and interesting.

Thanks for your honesty. And I loved that you included your passenger!

Particularly liked the rear seat reviewers contribution at the end 😁

Double the wheel torque (almost) in speed 1 vs speed 2 so it's fair to expect the tip in to be a tad sharper! I assume there is a lot more going on with torque management /pedal maps etc etc but mechanical advantage is mechanical advantage.

"how do I get it to stop charging' definitely don't press stop charging 😂

Love this. Its like seeing my dad playing around with a new gadget, sad that younger generations won't be able to fully appreciate this tech

Great review as always. As for the Taycan, I like that the tires have some sidewall, instead of the rubber-strip-painted-on-22-inch-wheels look on supercars these days.

The enthusiasm is infectious!

" went round it with a magnet" who does that? love your work Harry.

Great review and especially good re the charging update. Looks like the infrastructure is finally taking shape. Your grandson stole the show!

Awww bless, what a lovely little lad, gave me a right smile that bit at the end

I'm guessing that little man is going to be a car fan when he's old enough! Super cheeky laugh. Love it.

So hillarious and true at the same time....that London tube sound. Hahaha... I didn't remember that tube sound until you mentioned it. Superb comparison. :)

The best you tuber and reviewer comes right at the end. Great stuff

Great review as always, Harry - thank you! Have to say I love the Taycan but in mambo green it reminds of my uncle’s ‘79 Vauxhall Chevette ☺️

Reminds me of the Apple green on Ford Fiestas back in around 2006.

Jubilee Line, that's exactly my first thought

What a beautiful review. Thank you Harry ! I would love to drive this car but I don't think I would want to own one.

Another great video from Harry 😊👍🏻

The sound of the electric motor reminds me of the noise KITT made

When we gona hear the Espada at 8000rpm :)

Great entertaining video as always from Harry. Thanks for that. I have had Taycan 4S with smaller battery now little more than 3 months. Beautiful car, enjoyed every moment! Couple of more good things what I can add when driving car quite a cold weather in Finland lately. To charge fast and not to increase consumption you need to use heating systems before you go. Easy to use through app. You can see battery temperature from the gauges and when its less than +10C the charging speed as well as consumption is worse than promised until then temperature increase. More than +20C battery temperature and you will get those numbers as promised. I have driven now +8000km and average consumption is 19,4kWh/100 km ~400km range. Not bad. Also as this small battery Taycan is 150kg less weight than Turbo S, I'm more than happy not to tick the big battery option. Many others I did instead. Cheers!

Saw one of these and it actually makes a sound when it drives. Love it.

Closing my eyes and listening to the whine at start up gave me a vision of a Unigate milk float from the 70's :)

Well, I have to say I like the look of it despite the impracticalities of the limited storage space. I also quite like the sound of this one. It reminds me of the overdubbed mock-up cars used in the UFO TV series from the early '70's. It appears they've certainly nailed the ease of charging, it couldn't get much easier. If the reduced charge rate was down to the two other vehicles charging at the same station it just highlights the infrastructure and power generation problem they're going to have to address if electric cars are to become the norm. The development of electric car tech is really taking off and will only increase as more and more manufacturers come onboard. The revised new petrol/diesel ban is just over 9 years away now but it's exciting to think what the full electric options will be by then.

What a car guy. I mean of course the guy saying just "good" when asked how he likes the car. Seriously - honest and balanced videos like these are what makes people coming back here. Thanks, and stay safe.

Excellent review, thank you. Also, thanks for bringing along your sidekick again. Even cuter than the last time.

Nice to see tires that have some decent sidewall width to provide a more comfortable ride.

I saw my first Taycan out on the road a few weeks ago, it really is a great looking car. Im still a dinosaur when it comes to cars, but this Porsche is probably the first electric car that I really do like 👍🏾

Fun to see Harry so excited about the charging at the ‘pump’

Nice video Harry. Spoilt by KZfaq adding three 20 second adverts I couldn’t skip ruining the flow.

It looks really simple providing you have a lot of time

You’ve nailed the pluses and minuses perfectly Harry. I couldn’t get over how terrible the packaging is for a taller (6’2”) gent like myself. The worst was how hard it was to wedge myself between the steering wheel and b pillar. It was pretty poor, to be honest. And the interior space is tighter than my Model 3. When my Model 3 was totaled earlier this year, I had a choice to make. I came close to ordering a Taycan 4S, but for the same price, I got a Model 3 Performance AND a 25k mile 997 Turbo S. The depreciation on a Taycan is likely to be eye watering. And to be honest, although it goes down the road and feels like a Porsche, it doesn’t shade the Model 3 nearly as much as I thought it would. Add in the aSupercharging network and I passed on the Porsche. Yeah, I miss not having that beautiful build quality in my daily driver. And the Porsche ride / handling. But when I get in my 997 Turbo, that seems to all fade...

Great stuff per usual, Harry.

Love your videos, better than top gear, very informative and really enjoy watching your rd trips too, it’s like a motor show and travel program all in one. 👌 Think you should organise a 3-4 day rally one day so fans can follow you

Hey Harry, great video as usual, can you please do the X5 45e update please?

The higher the state of charge, the lower the charging speed. This explains the speed you got.

Last week, I drove from Lisbon, South to my home in the Algarve, then to St Malo and subsequently Warwickshire. Complete pleasure, way more relaxing and playful than the “jiggly-ride “2020 X5 it replaced. The supercharger stops in Spain and Portugal are surprisingly at boutique hotels , beautiful vineyards or golf courses ! Quite pleasant for a coffee and bathroom visit. The average stop, just 19 minutes to charge and £16 cost ! But stick to ice cars, urine soaked washrooms and motorway service stations if that’s your “thing”

Had a ride in this during the week, was very nice. Spot on with that Tube noise, exactly the same I knew I heard it somewhere before.

Excellent. Good to see someone making an electric car you would want to drive.

"I want 400 miles of range to go and see my Espada being built and not wait an hour to recharge." Such a legend

Great review, as always, Harry. Loved your little grandson in the back at the end asking you to go fast and then when you did - “again!” Clearly another petrolhead in the making. Lovely. M

Great review. I loved the Turbo I drove and am still thinking about one but there are a few thing which you nailed in your review that are just making me pause.

That little dude loves speed!

Milk Float springs to mind with that sound. Nice looking car, certainly prettier than a Tesla. Build quality light years ahead! Thanks for sharing it. 👍🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Nice plug for Car Industry Analysis, hidden gem of a page.

Another excellent and honest review. Thanks !

Interesting timing given the media coverage of that Taycan that couldn’t find anywhere to charge.

Is it only me, or making touch screen, tablet actually, is cheaper then making high quality buttons. I understood that it would be too much buttons on car like this, but putting all in tablet, Tesla like, turns me off. Give me one good button dannit!

Love the section comparing the sound to a Tube train on the Northern Jubilee line or that some people could think it's an old car with a knackered rear diff. I did chuckle :)

Nice recharge site near to my work HQ in Woodstock. So glad to see it working well. This is the future!

Looks like the love of sports cars runs in the family! Grandson likes it!

I'm kind of shocked at how little space there is inside. You'd think a car that big would at least be able to seat four.

Lovely review Harry, thanks. Can you believe I asked Porsche for a 4S to test Berlin->Amsterdam at speed and they instead gave me a Turbo S? Haha talk about overdelivery. About your InstaVolt charging session: the cable your machine used is not liquid cooled and will therefore never go over 80/90kW which is strange (to outfit these pretty chargers with these lacking cables). They can upgrade them to make these chargers more future proof, even the ID.3 (and e-tron and so on) would profit from retrofitting of liquid cooled cables. Wouldn't be the first company to do so. I will write them on LinkedIn!

Best part of the video is the analysis right at the end from the expert in the back seat.

Charging costs are expensive...

The charging speed is slower when the battery temp is low. A temp below 10c will significantly impact range and charging speed.

16:51 Whoa! Look at that gauge! You've got that fancy liquid electricity in the UK?! We don't have that here. You guys are so far ahead ! Great review. Keep them comin' Love the Harry's Farm stuff too

stick an extra advert at the end Harry, that way you'll catch the sleepers and indecisive without annoying anyone. Great Vid Awesome Content!

"convince yourself the rear diff has gone" Yeah, i know that feeling 😰

"Why has it taken so long" exactly Harry, good to hear Instavolt have got it right. As far as Teslaesque goes (a) the Tesla Supercharger would have been on the sat nav along with confirmation of bays free which as you know would you never have to wait with Tesla. (b) Charging would have been easily twice as fast, there is a lot of integration between charger and car, there's gonna be, they make both. Impressed with your thoughts on the Porsche Taycan, of course Im biased Tesla Model S owner but mountain bikes chucked in the back and used to Tesla huge range and low price.

Nice one Harry keep em coming

Excellent review! Thank you.

I like how there’s so much sidewall on show.

Reminds me of my grandads Austin Maxi 1750, well the colour does anyhow

That's already an iconic Porsche color🔥🔥🔥

Great video Harry! The Sport Turismo estate version is coming next year 👍

That whine reminds me of when I was a boy and had a job helping out on a milk round. The electric milk floats made that noise.

Finally a car where Harry's outrageously bad audio quality doesn't matter!

That Patek is so fitting on your wrist, sir. Well done.

Good honest review as ever.

If ever a car didn't need an electric boot opener, it's that one!

£2.50 for 23 miles of charge is shocking. Combine that with the low availability of charging stations and lengthy charge times (compared to petrol) and I still don’t see any incentive to go electric, especially away from cities.

Found that very interesting. Grandson bit at the end was a nice bonus. Cuteness points off the scale.

Best review of this car I have seen .

Brilliant end to the video :)

It sounds like an electric Bedford HA van we had at Didcot A power station in the 80's.

Excellent review harry Bravo i wonder have you done this kind of thing before and you’re trainee reviewer seems to be coming along well. Again again when you drive faster it’s a very good sign for the future don’t you think grazie Mille

Great review Harry

High cost of charging and the inconvenience of doubling your journey times. Then add the cost of sitting in Costa for an hour or two waiting for it to charge - one cold coffee, limp sandwich and a small, hardened cake: £20. :)

Love the back seat commentary, can we go fast 😂

Good useful video, along with the regular enjoyable presentation.

Great video as always. You really have a great take on these electric cars - please do more reviews of them! There's too few true car enthusiasts reviewing them, as opposed to 'gadget reviewers' (that includes people only focused on reviewing electric cars). One question though: this or Tesla Model 3 Performance? Similar concepts (4-door saloons), very similar on paper performance, similar range, ... so is there any way it justifies its (double) price tag? Model S is not the right comparison - that car is twice the size inside.
