2025 Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo

"Taycan Nightmare"

"The Taycan is an absolute nightmare. Mine was in the shop for 3 months this summer! Within days of getting it back, the AC stopped working and it’s now back in the shop indefinitely. Porsche’s customer service has been a complete let down all the way from the top, down to the local dealership in Clearwater, Florida. I’m paying almost $2k a month for a car I can’t even drive. Porsche doesn’t care about quality or customer satisfaction anymore."

"It’s a Porsche"

"I own a Tesla and yes they are great from a tech and charging infrastructure perspective but the Taycan is a Porsche. It drives like a Porsche handles like a Porsche and is simply solid. It just happens to be electric. The Tesla is a great car handles well is fast but it’s an EV first and a drivers car second."

"Perfect EV luxury commuter"

"I sold my V8 M3 6MT and leased a 2021 base model Taycan after we started smelling the Bootleg Fire in Boston. It was the only EV not a Tesla that felt luxurious and could comfortably fit 2 car seats. The car feels like zipping around in a bubble of calm, even in Boston traffic. It handles better than the Porsche SUV's and Panamera; not as good as the 911. Other than an awful bluetooth system that has trouble connecting initially to my phone, the car has been fantastic. A key feature I overlooked when looking at EV's is how quickly the can recharge at a Level 3 charger. The Taycan can do 270 kw/hr, which means that you can add on about 200 miles in about 25 minutes. That made our roadtrips a breeze, even with two young children. I think the car is great, but do think that it's not a "value" buy by any stretch of the imagination. What you are paying for is knowing that if you have a problem, the dealer will pick your car up from you and leave you with a loaner. The service at Porsche is incredible."
