Really well done review thank you!! BTW launch control in the Taycan (or any Porsche) is simply: With the car stopped and in Sports Plus, Hold the brake firmly with your left foot, hold the accelerator to the floor with your right. A few seconds later the dash will display Launch Ready, then while keeping your right foot planted release your left foot, SMILE and Enjoy! Thanks again for sharing and the pics too!

Awesome review, I need to test drive one myself. I really like the looks and fit and finish but I don’t like the price. I also like the Etron GT equivalent and like the looks of those a little better.
Did you feel the interior space was that much smaller than the S? I really like the space in the S.

The sound that the doors make when shut and the overall quality of car, materials, fit and finish is on another level compared to my Model S. No comparison whatsoever. I haven't had a chance to drive the newer S like yours yet, so can't compare it to that. I would imagine the Taycan is still much better in terms of the quality though.
I'll put it this way, if I could afford a Taycan, I would get a Sport Turismo over an S. The difference in price is literally 2X between the cars. Is the Taycan worth 2X an S? That's a very subjective and personal decision.

A fairer comparison in terms of size/space would be the Sport or Cross Turismo model.

I do find it interesting when we talk about "range problems" given that drivers in the US drive on average under 40 miles per day. The average driver doesn't have a range problem with any EV on sale today, let alone one with 300 miles of range or so. No vehicle type works for everyone, but we need to take a pause on this "range problem" mindset because for most people, most of the time, there absolutely isn't one.

Honestly I couldn't care less what any color is called. All that really matters to me is - do I like it or not?
The rest is semantics. 😁
The real point of this review was to highlight the fact that the quality (assembly, fit and finish, materials, overall solidity) of the car and the driving experience (handling, steering feel, throttle (EV smoothness) etc) is extremely high. Two qualities that I value above everything else.

Saw a newer 4 door Taycan today at the store driving by as I was walking in.
Had to do a double take, looks good in the wild
