Күн бұрын

My first Taycan video generated a lot of views, likes and viewer questions - thank you to all my viewers for your likes, comments and questions.
In this video I would like to answer ten of the key questions and share my personal views with you - and please do comment and ask new questions. You will hear my subjective take on the Porsche Taycan and possible residual value development. There is a DC-charging test (10-80%) and an acceleration test 0-100 km/h with my Taycan 4S. And I share with you the real-life consumption I have experienced as well as the expected annual cost for running a Taycan 4S (excluding purchasing or financing costs).
I hope you enjoy the video!

Excellent video. I purchased a 2020 4S just last week from an OPC in the UK with 2 years warranty with a discount offer to extend to 3 years. The battery warranty has 4 years remaining and the car has only covered 13,700miles with a phenomenal spec. Overall I’m very pleased with the deal 👍🏻

The only thing Porsche needs to do to offer an absolutely super hot deal for a new larger battery, where neither Porsche nor the dealership for replacement work makes money, valid over the next 3 years. That would put a lot of owners and second hand buyers at ease. Selling the old battery, which is still good for second life, would make these Taycan cars very hot...

Really great video. Could you explain a bit more why you calculate so high yearly service costs? Its seems tremendous to me after having a tesla for several years. Would be very thankful for an detailed answer

@morten_hannesbo 29 күн бұрын

Thank you for watching. As you correctly state, my estimate is on the conservative/high side, however, I have owned about 30 Porsches over the years and I have kept a record of the actual costs of running Panameras, Cayennes, Taycans, 911s and Macans. In my experience you are more likely than not to experience costs of 2-3'000 CHF per year for a Taycan after year 3: The bills for oil/liquids and normal service work is 5-600 CHF/year, aircon service 250 CHF. A spring service/overhaul is 200 CHF, 2 x wheel change winter/summer 400 CHF incl. storage, alloy rim repairs 1x per year 400 CHF. On top of that brake pads and brake disc will need maintenance or replacement, too. And if you scratch a door or bumper....then $$$$$ bills are coming your way. I find this allright, but many will be surprised how expensive it can be.

Great video except the maintenance costs. The Taycan has a 2 year or 30.000 km service interval where the first one costed me 546€ at the local Porsche dealer. Sure prices are a bit higher in Switzerland but not anywhere near your 2000-3000 CHF per year especially when you got the warranty where all unexpected failure is covered. In fact the Taycan has half the maintenance cost than my second car which is a BMW G21 330d. I would love to know how you came up with your calculations cause they are far from reality.

Thank you for this heöpful video. I live in Switzerland and am in the market to buy a used Taycan Cross Turismo. I notice that Porsche Centers have inflated expectations of the sale price they can get (for 2022 or 2023 models) Any tips on how to get them to reduce the asking price?

@morten_hannesbo 29 күн бұрын

Well, I think the Porsche dealers will be flexible if you show what the autoscout.ch price picture is. I wish you good luck with your search, and do look around! I think a 4S Cross Turismo should be around 80-95K for a very low mileage 2022 Model from a Porsche dealer.

12 year warranty would increase the price even further . Warranties are secure by underwriting. Cost would be silly

@morten_hannesbo 24 күн бұрын

It would be quite inexpensive for Porsche to extend the warranty. Porsche gives 8 years/160000 km anyway, extending to 12 years/300000 km would only really be relevant for very few customers because very few Porsches ever reach so high mileages (compared to e.g. Tesla Model S which is used for Taxis). If you look at how many Porsches would fall into the warranty it is just 3%-5% of the cars which are 160000 km. Further, Porsche only guarantees 70% of Battery capacity at the end of the warranty. The battery is likely to perform much better than that. The game here is to install confidence in the product.

@martinorlandogolian9213 23 күн бұрын

Hi. Quick question. I went to a Porsche dealer in St gallen , where he mentioned that there is a possibility to extend every year the warranty , which cost around 390chf. ( they just need to do a quick inspection of the car) do you know know anything about it ?

@morten_hannesbo 23 күн бұрын

Hi, do not know this product - I assume it is a 3rd party product from Quality1 or similar and would have some limitations. The Porsche Approved Warranty costs approx 1600 CHF per year and covers the traction battery. The Porsche Appoved Warranty can be extended every year up to 200000 km and I'd recommend to buy this and not the other

Porsche doesn't price their cars to compete with Tesla, they price their cars like Porsches.

@morten_hannesbo 25 күн бұрын

Sure, and they should. But Porsche also plans residual values, insurance costs and maintenance costs etc for their cars and for Taycan it went terribly wrong. A Porsche is not a Bentley or a Ferrari. Porsche is a volume brand (volume 20x Bentley or Ferrari) which relies on model mix management to balance CO2 fleet average. The Taycan, as well as Macan, Cayenne and Panamera need robust residual value planning to be supported by leasing companies as most cars are bought on finance. Leasing rates are a function of Price, Interest and Depreciation.

Taycans in the UK are dropping like stones. Porsche dealers are not buying them (even for £30/£40k for zero miles cars)! They are also not taking Taycans in part exchange (when disgruntled owners give up and want an ICE car again), almost no fast charging and vast numbwers already for sale (1000+) and you have a £120,000 car thats worth £35,000 in two years, more than £115 per day!!!
