I didn’t know any had made it to dealers yet, but there it is!  Still really like the profile on it.... gorgeous lines.

Yeah, everyone who was coming up to it, including myself, said “I didn’t know these were out yet!” The guy from the dealer said it was one of the first ones in the US.

Yeah, it looks really good from that angle... not so much from the front.

Yeah, I thought about putting Turbo in quotation marks as well, but everyone who went up to it said “I didn’t know these were out yet!”

They started NA deliveries right before Christmas according to some of the owners on forums/Twitter.

Reports from the factory show a lot of US spec cars headed for the ports, so I imagine we’ll start seeing a lot more of them. I’ve yet to see one on the street, only pre-production models last year.

But... But ... It only get 200 miles per charge with the 50 year old epa test that has a 48mph average for highway speeds. Im glad i dont use interstates that avg only 48 mph. My area its more 65-80. With its 2 speed transmission its designed more for real world performance driving compared to the fake EPA that other manufacturers build around to get optimal numbers on a test instead of real life. Unfortunately this effects all vehicles and the manufacturers design it most fuel efficient speed to be 48 mph which is a speed nobody drive. Two speeds should be used. In town 35mph, interstate 70mph.

Porsche does it backwards on the 911 models as well, since many of them have turbos now, but only state “ Turbo” on a specific model.

Porsche now uses the “Turbo” name for trim/performance identification.

RUF: RUF is too busy installing even larger turbochargers to finish this analogy

For oppomeet, I look out the window, and thought “ that 911 has an odd profile” took a second, “oh the new Taycan.” I think it was part of some driving tour they offer. There was a parade of 20 of them.

I haven’t seen one yet. I’ve seen photos of one at C&C here, but the turnout was low today since the roads were wet, so a lot of stuff didn’t show up.

And yet they ordered it in boring black. I don’t know how you get to the income level needed for a car like this without having any imagination.

Not a car I would expect to see at CnC! I have seen a few and think they look pretty damn good in person.

I honestly thought it was just  a Panamera until I went behind it.

I thought the same thing pulling up on the first one I saw. Like “Oh I guess they put that new 911 butt on the Panamera... Makes sen...oh snap! That’s the electric jammy!”

I’ve seen a couple.  I think they are only dealer display/fun cars.  I didn;t think they were ‘for sale’ yet
