@@Yachtzeee cyber truck uses 4680 and it gets more than that.

LOL😂

Try using the 350 next time 😜

Without radars, cameras only and without automatic cleaning of cameras, tesla should be sued for endangerment of public.

@@IvanNedostal Dude, leave your rant somewhere else. What you said doesn't even pertain to Farhood's comment.

Elon doesn't really care any more. Tesla needs a less distracted CEO to get itself back on track.

@@MountainManGuy Leave your fanboyism at the door, dude. What he said is true.

I really do think now that anyone that mentions "range anxiety" are just anxious people; it says everything about the person saying to and nothing about the infrastructure, even though the infrastructure could be better still. Even with what we have, charging stations ensure you get good ergonomic and personal-need breaks on a long road trip. As an example: it's been possible for years to do a Cannonball Run (NYC to LA) using different routes (one way mainly on I-80 via Iowa and Colorado, the other on Interstates that follow the old Route 66 via New Mexico and Missouri) AND limit yourself to one charging network with no worries. If an EV driver only used Electrify America, the furthest hop on the northern route between two charging locations is 139 miles (Bloomsburg, PA to DuBois, PA) and 128 miles on the southern route (Winslow, AZ to Gallup, NM). Even if they wanted to do the 160+ mile loop to see the Grand Canyon between Williams and Flagstaff, AZ, there are four 350kW chargers at the Visitor Center on the way. The only way for anyone to run out of power on the longest of journeys for most places now is to not pay attention or not do the minimum of planning!

One of the cons of the Porsche Taycan from Edmunds. "EV greatness comes at a commensurately great price"

Model Y has a roughly 81kWh battery (Around 75kWh usable), so not quite. It's closer to something like the Bolt EV which has a 66kWh battery.

Maybe a Model Y with the small battery. Definitely not the large though

Porsche engineering has always been the standard and in just 4 years they are already ahead of tesla whose been in business since 2007 trying to make a good ev ❤

@@G82Watts Not at all. Charging is the only thing they appear to really excel at The Model S Plaid (top trim Model S) costs 90K which less than a base rwd Taycan with the small battery (~100k). Comparable Taycan is 2x the price. Until Porsche is able to provide such technology for 75K it doesn't count because very few people are able to obtain such cars. IMO Hyundai/KIA/Genesis are doing the best because they offer a lot of the Porsche tech and engineering for a fraction of the Porsche cost.

EU version

@@brendykes1202 bad idea. Fines and other penalties are huge in Europe. Some countries have fines based on your income and can be months of income. Some countries will confiscate your car and you don’t get a dime back.

@@tomm5936 ok. German autobahn version. Cross the country back & forth until the Cannonball distance is reached

@@brendykes1202 Many parts have speedlimits, with that said they probably would ban him from returning if he released a German Cannonball run.

​@@ryanfraley7113Out of Spec does have a POV channel. He did that for the Rolls-Royce Spectre (excellenty done!).

Agree, except for “bring prices down” and “Porsche” just don’t seem to mix well. 😀

@@georgepelton5645 yeah, premium Germans won't be bringing price down, they add 15 - 20k for EVs

What's with u people and expecting a premium luxury brand like porsche to be affordable to average Joe's. Sorry they aren't tesla with their cost cutting 0 luxury interior and bland exterior. Premium quality and ride quality comes at a price

@@G82Watts Average Joe’s cannot afford a Model S Plaid either, and yes it is relative. The Taycan is a screaming deal compared to all the ICE supercars with their million plus dollar prices, and I assume the new top model Taycan does well against them on the track too. But the more affordable Porsche makes it, the more people can buy one, even if that is just dropping the prices by ten thousand here and there. That is all, simple math.

I was told that new software is not coming to older models. It's a new operating system. However, I hope some of the features will land, CarPlay+ is the one I'd like to see...

Sadly most of the legacy manufacturers are not delivering newer updates to older cars, even though they have the hardware to support it. I love my EQS but Mercedes is not delivering any updates that even cheaper and less equipped newer (EQ) cars are getting, I'm very disappointed. Even though I'm not a Tesla fan, props to them on diligently updating cars.

@@ani_b there are few reasons why these major updates are not happening. Most important one is the directive about cyber security in EU, which was implemented in July 2022, becoming mandatory in July 2024. That directive basically rendered, at the time, current hardware platforms as outdated. These facelifts come with new hardware that will allow them to implement new directive. Otherwise they would not be allowed to sell these cars in EU.

No, focusing on initial range is the most important. Most people are going to be charging at home, very rarely are you driving more than 250-300 miles in a day. This type of testing is the back to back cross continent 500-1000 mile days someone might do once or twice a year. It also comes down to age. Talk to your parents, or anyone over 45 and you'll see they almost never do any of this type of driving anymore.

@@otm646 Of course, you buy the car that has the range appropriate for your day-to-day use. But for most people, that would be our used Nissan Leaf with 80 miles of range, which we charge once a week to keep the 12V battery healthy, but don't really need to, for the traction battery. But the clamoring for greater range beyond the 250-300 currently available, that's not about day-to-day driving, but about travelling, and for that, a fat charge curve and high power DC fast chargers make all the difference, not battery range. If you have a big assed battery that will go 400 miles between charges, but takes an hour to fast charge, that's more negatively impactful to a trip than a 250 mile car that goes 20% -70% in ten minutes.

@@davesvoboda2785 I feel that you're both right however, I suspect that most people (who charge their EV at home like myself), they will prefer range over charging speed. I feel like My i4 M50 would be perfect with around 100 more miles of range for my needs. I can complete a round trip without having to stop but to be sure, I charge publicly around half the time so I can drive without conserving my range. The current range in decent weather (50F to 90F) is 250 to 270 miles (my average is 3.2 mi/kwh over 15K miles). I rarely drive far enough where the fast charging will be more beneficial and I don't see myself siting in the car for more than 400 miles max.

I just pick up the CCS handle with one hand and plug it in my car with one hand because I'm not paid by Tesla to push NACS.

@@nssomething8370I doubt Kyle is either. Nacs is a better design just admit it.

@@daviidfm923 wow, such compelling arguments.

@@nssomething8370 if you have used both nacs connector and ccs it’s like not even up for discussion. Ccs is heavy bulky hard to move. When it’s cold the cables become rocks etc. nacs is light, allows for very high current, same connections for ac and dc, easier to hold, plug in and move about in warm and cold….

@@nssomething8370 why are you so mad about it. It’s not a big deal that ccs handles suck.

But to be fair, Porsche was never a car for the average worker. So nothing changed.

2nd hand models are dropping in value like crazy. Someday, one of these Taycans will be mine.

Well duh it's a premium luxury brand. Not a tesla.

Yeah the NACS story got cancelled - looks like, very sad. I hope that real companies with sane CEO´s will pick up the opportunity and build out reliable charger networks in the US.

#Tesla spending 500 million on charger 2024 build out

Don’t worry he is already rehiring the super charger team. If they still want to work for him

@@davidbaker9943 Really? I did not read that. Not good. Why firing everybody in the first place and think after.

Why should Tesla build expensive 800 volt infrastructure that their cars can't handle?

EVs work If you spend 40K new. You can look up all of his charging tests and all of the data. A base Model Y isn't that far behind this. Used you can find them for 25k all day long.

Not only in Germany is the loading infrastructure good nowadays. No issues nowadays to do longer trips. Just avoid the busy days.

it is the same with gas vehicles too. A old 460 ford got the same mpg no matter how you drove it 8-9mpg

Depends. Low-efficiency means you're less impacted by wind and weather, but you're more impacted by the charging speeds of the stations along your route. Traveling a corridor with only 150 kW chargers impacts your charge time much more if your vehicle gets 2 mi/kWh than if it gets 4 mi/kWh. Low-efficiency also makes driving very expensive, especially when paying public charging rates. And, even when home charging, a less efficient vehicle needs you need more amps to be able to finish charging overnight, which, in turn, means a more expensive charger and a greater likelihood of needing upgrades to your electrical panel. Granted, nobody that buys a Porsche cares the slightest about the cost of electricity, but it's still worth saying.

in the least, their top of the line vehicles should. no doubt the battery chemistry that porsche is using is more expensive + big overengineered thermal systems. the taycan is like $140k

Yep, asap would be great, they need to step up their charging game. It's not terrible 30-40 mins to get from low state of charge to 80% or higher but this is what these potential new customers need to see to take the plunge into a Ev.

I would just rather own a Porsche such a nicer car.

Correction sir, or madame, "charging plateau"!!! FULL SEND on: the road, bathroom, charging station and road again!

Same applies to any Porsche, I guess. Would love to have this one, but alas…

45 seconds of charge gets me 8 hours of highway driving-time in my 2016 Prius c Two.

is diesel also "gas! because a fill up of a similar vehicle in diesel version will get you up to 900 miles of range literaly double of any EV.

@@aliendroneservices6621 For those of us who don't use catheters when we drive this car approaches time taken on fuel stops.

@@carholic-sz3qv And you're paying double or likely triple what you'd pay for an EV to go the same distance. Even more if you consider cheap charging at home.

@@fiehlsport most charging is done at home so overall savings over a gas vehicle. Unless you are a traveling salesman or something and EV will be cheaper for 95% of people.

Tesla loser

I think it's a matter of time before it does trickle down. There was a time way back in the day when only luxury cars had features like power locks, power seats, and keyless entry. Today, even the cheap cars all have it. It will be the same with 300 kW charging speeds.

No need for it, I use Travel Assist and Radar for this...ACC just stops behind any car, if it stops. Furthermore a passenger, my wife😊, hates this, since you get easily moving sick, since coasting is much more natural.

@@josefv8708then it’s badly designed … well-designed one-pedal driving isn’t jerky

It’s a different battery on a different platform so I don’t think you can hope for that. The Taycan is the best they have while the macan is a more affordable option.

its Kia ... why do you compare it to Porsche and Kia is 1/2 the price, not 1/3, in UK for example

How long doe the Tesla maintain this level for? I have seen on videos that it always starts well but tapers very quickly. What is your experience?

He probably will, but has to wait for statute of limitation has run out, in every state he goes through, to avoid prosecution.
