It's expensive and modern, but the Taycan is /very/ nice. For an electric car the base-spec one just feels natural and enjoyable to drive, rather than all whizzy and remote.

NorfolkNWeigh Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I was looking at the Tesla site to see what the starting price for an S is, couldn’t find out. But did discover this , which I’d never heard of; the Plaid. Not 100% sure it’s not one Elon’s little jokes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somewhatfoolish Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I'm not seeing any plaid; to justify plaid as a trim level/identity it needs plaid seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I think musk is an absolute twat in many ways who should just let his lawyers make all his public announcements I have to admit he is a true visionary and feel deep admiration for his achievements. It's very annoying. Dan_ZTT and JMotor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is a car worth £70K? Not to me. Not to monthly payments. Not to finance. etc. But is it 2x as nice as a £35K electric car such as a DS or whatever? Absolutely. The build quality is there, the comfort, tech and finish, the refinement and more importantly the range expectation is fair. I honestly have no idea how that couple got in the news ballsing up their Taycan range - they work as well as any other EV and deliver a similar range/performance/speed equation. Car values are on crack for new things now. A Skoda Scala can hit £31K with the bits that make you look twice at it (the big pano roof/black glass tailgate). A Golf TDI is approaching £37K with some nice options. Timewaster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
