    Porsche Reveals Some of the Technical Specs of Taycan

      Some new details come to light

    Porsche has been hard at work on their first electric vehicle, the Taycan (formally known as Mission E). With just under a a year to go before Porsche unveils the final product, the German automaker decided to release some technical information.

    Beginning with the powertrain, the Taycan will use two permanently synchronous motors (one mounted on each axle). This will produce a combined output of 600-plus horsepower. Porsche claims a 0-100 kph (0-62 mph) time of under 3.5 seconds. The large lithium-ion battery pack provides overall range of 600 kilometers (about 310 miles). When the battery does become depleted, it will only take 15 minutes for an 80 percent charge when plugged into an 800-volt charger. The Taycan will also support 400V chargers, though Porsche hasn't revealed how long it will take for a recharge.

    Porsche is looking to build 20,000 Taycans per year at their Zuffenhausen facility in Germany when production kicks off next year.

    So a $100,000 EV auto with a 25% tariff charge so $125,000 auto.

    Thanks for nothing Potus, you really are screwing up the auto world.

    Excited for the 800V chargers to get installed. I hope other auto companies move to this charging level ASAP.

    Hey these tariffs actually help Tesla. Now how about that?

    Tesla is overrated.  We need more competitors, not fewer, in this space in the auto market.

    Seems an alert german caught the Porsche out in the wild and recorded it, so you can hear how quiet it really is. Pretty cool.

    Pictures here too: https://twitter.com/ZoePionierin/status/1028973963056242688

    • Just last week, I saw a few newer Traxes.  They are more sloped in the rear than the Trailblazer and there is no protuding "ridge" over the rear window.  I'd say they are more attractive than the new Trailblazer.  I know next to nothing about them.
    • This is a true love or hate truck as they are just Hideous to my wife and I. Seen so many this weekend and all wrapped. Most common seems to be a black wrap.
    • I promise to point out the bad as well. I actually have hit one thing that is bizarre, their printed owner's manual if very much behind their software update interface, as such there are features that has no instructions on using. I get that the printing happens early, but even Kia Connect, their online presence does not cover some of the stuff that has been updated with the latest OTA update we got this week. Another weird issue is that when you setup the Kia Connect software on your smartphone and invite the wife in this case, it links your two accounts and as such the setting 1 and setting 2 for seat positions, mirrors, environment settings, etc. get merged and you have to unlink your accounts to then have individual settings. Again, nowhere documented.  Kia Connect online community is a good thing as plenty of folks have posted in it to help each other out on how to do things since the existing documentation from the company is not there. I can see where this would be frustrating for a non-tech person to use the advanced features successfully.  The EV otherwise drives like any other auto and the wife already did her first trip to the south end to deal with her side of the family and was very happy at the efficiency of the EV in power used. OTA process is very slick and smooth. You can do it at the time it prompts you, do it when you go to turn off the auto, it will process in the background after you shut off the EV or schedule a time to have the OTA applied. Have to say the Dealership experience has surpassed anything I have experienced in the shopping process at any other auto company. I have a Leasing/Buying an EV in 2024 story coming documenting the experience of getting this EV.
    • Congrats! I can't wait to only hear the good things about this vehicle! Hahaha
