  1. I am sure you pronounce car brands from foreign countries all 100% accurate...

  2. "I think hydrogen powered cars are the future, fuelled by water." You mean fuelled by hydrogen. Otherwise the car would be a perpertuum mobile.

  3. Why do you think that? :-)

  4. You could touch it and sit in it on the Geneva Motorshow. And it is based on the MEB, so the new VW electric platform. The production of the first MEB car starts at the and of this year. The Q4 is very real and not that far away.

  5. The CLAIMED acceleration of a car that will not even be delivered, was sub 1.9 seconds... BTW the claimed /projected acceleratsion for the Rimac is 1.85 seconds.

  6. Oh, the Tesla Model S is superior in EVERY way? So on the back seats I really sit even more comfortable in the Tesla? The suspension comfort is better and interior noise is lower in the Model S? The Model S has an even better Surround Camera with virtual view? It has an even better augmented reality HUD?

  7. Yes, could be insteresting when the Roadster actually goes into production. Until now, it doesn't exist.

  8. They just use the same name scheme as for their other cars, so you know what you get. Also for their ICE cars, the name "Turbo" only tells you that it has more power than for example a "4S" version. But it doesn't tell you anything about the technology that it used. It is just the name of a trim level.

  9. Because they wanted comparable cars. He explaines it in 01:04

  10. Similar power. Or is "similar price tag" really the most important aspect to compare cars on a drag strip?
    1
  11. Why compare it with a car that doesn't exist? Why compare a four-door-sedan with a two-door-convertable?

  12. Wait until the Porsche electric supercar comes out

  13. "Also, the Porsche has about half the range of the Tesla." Can you please show me a test where that is the case? I mean actual tests, not EPA ratings or so. And in situations where you need range. So for example long trips on Highway at 75 mph: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VK0oC83y4L8&t=1314s Model S Perfomance: 424 km Taycan 4S (yes, the Turbo S probably has a bit lower range): 376 km. I would not call that "about half the range". "For as much money as the Porsche cost, it should have beaten the Tesla by a wide margin, but it didn't." So you think that drag races are the criteria why a car should cost much money? Then why is the Dodge Demon cheaper than many sport cars that are slower on the track? "So the 2020 Porsche "barely" beats a Tesla that came out in 2012? " The Tesla Model S Perfomance "Cheetah Stance" came out in 2012? No. The P85D (the fastest model in 2012) was much slower.

  15. ".i need some engine drama...i need a screaming V12..." Nobody needs "engine drama" in the streets, it is noise pollution for your neighbours. Don't tread on me. Annoying other people with loud engines is a bigger violation against the Non-aggression principle than taxation.
    1
  16. Well, at least the outer dimension are those of the A7. And the perfomance is even better than an RS7 - which is also not cheap.
    1
  17. The Taycan is a 4 door car.
    1
  18. Everyone skips it, are you kidding? I read this excuse by Tesla Fans here in the comments over and over. And it is just ridiculous. Why should that be an argument on a drag strip? Here is another drag race between a family sedan and a sports car: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhKyb6hXzb0 The sedan wins. Of course, it has much more power. It has also a better 0-60 times on paper.

  19. Concerning battery capacity: Don't mix up net and gross. The e-tron GT has a 93.4 kWh battery, but only 84 kWh is used. While the 108 kWh of the EQS is the usuable battery size. So difference is bigger. And the question is: What does the 100 kWh of the A6 mean?
    1
  20. Well, it is basically a Porsche Taycan

  21. Let's wait for the VW i.d.

  22. Actually their started the touch screen interior in the A8, so...

  23.  @alexz8373  Are you sarcastic? Or do you really go with this stupid "Four doors coupe" thing, which is just an invention of the marketing departments of the car companies?
    1
  24. So when will you jump?
    1
  25. Yes, it has a Two-gear-transmission.
    1
  26. The normal? There is Taycan, Taycan 4S, Taycan Turbo, Taycan Turbo S. They have chosen the Turbo, because that is comparable with the Audi. He mentioned it at 01:04
    1
  27. Porsche started to use the "Turbo" badge just as a name for a trim level already before the Taycan. As more all less all ICE Porsches have a turbocharger, the name doesn't mean more meanwhile.

  28. "It's time to support a company that had the balls to detach themselves from old dinosaur fossil fuels" You don't need balls for that if you are a new company that only produces BEVs. But as a big car company it is not easy to decide how much effort the should put on EVs. They cannot just stop producing ICE cars. They would be bankrupted then, because most people still want ICE cars. "One beautiful example about how far is Tesla's technology in the electric realm is when Tesla remotely enhanced the battery capacity, and therefore driving range, of its Tesla vehicles for owners in Florida who were trying to escape the impact of the recent Hurricane Irma. " I accept that Tesla is leading in some aspects, but that is really a bad example. Tesla used to sell a series of cars with a 75kWh battery, that are sold as 60kWh cars because the capacity is artifically limited. And you could later upgrade to 75kWh just by a simple Software Update. I don't know if that is really a cool thing. It is the same as if Apple would only produce iPhones with 256GB Storage, but would sell a version with only 64GB storage for a cheaper price. The storage would be limited by software to 64GB, but you could later get the full 256GB via Software Update for charge. When Tesla released this "60kWh" version there were many people who critizied that - they feel that Tesla would sell artifically crippled cars and then asks for money to de-cripple them. Some feel pranked by that business model. There are also people who are skeptical about the OTA-Update /Remote thing in general. If Tesla is able to enhanced the battery capacity via remote (and as I said: It was reduced before; actually Tesla doesn't sell this pseudo-60kWh-Model anymore), they could also reduce it via remote. Many people don't want that the manufactorers can do stuff with your car without your permission. And they also think of "DLCs" like in Computer games. So there you buy a full price computer game that should be complete. But they squeeze more money out of you by selling stuff for extra charge. Somebody of Porsche also said in an interview, that they think about Power Upgrades via OTA-Update in the Future. That could also mean "I want to have fun at the weekend, so I buy 100 extra-horsepower for two days". Many people get the impression: If my car is capbable already is capabale of this (So 15kWh more battery capacity or 100HP more" then why do you artificially cripple it down?

  29. Why would it be fair to compare a four door sedan that starts at 100,000 $ with a 2-door-convertible-sports car that starts at 200,000 $? Taycan and Model S a very similar cars, good comparison.

  30. Half the range? Here some real life test at 120 km/h with the Taycan 4S and the Model S Long Range: https://youtu.be/VK0oC83y4L8?t=1310 Tesla: 424 km Porsche: 376 km

  31. The reason why you buy a Porsche is its driving perfomance. So also how it feels when you drive it and how you can control it. So who cares about the self driving capacities of a Porsche? But (unlike Tesla) it has a good working recogintion of speed limit signs.

  32. Well, just search for EQXX and look for the newest videos. This was not an exclusive opportunity for Matt, instead Mercedes gave it to several journalists and youtubers - also smaller youtubers than carwow.

  33. I think you don't see where the limitations are in this case. Here in Europe you get a maximum of 3kW (or in theory 3,7 kW, but usually cables are not made to do that for a longer time) out of your wall socket. So when your car consumes 15 kWh on 100 km, then it will take three hours to charge enough energy for 100 km. So it is not the car that limits how fast you can charge, but your electrical connection. Better car or battery technology will never change that. You can install other sockets (or a special wall box for cars) in you garage, when the electric system in your house allows it, for up to 11kW or 22kw. But actually I don't know why it is so important for you that it can charge at home in one hour. I charge my smartphone every night, so when I wake up in the morning it is fully charged. And I don't car if it needs one hour or eight hours. Because I am sleeping anyway, it doesn't change anything if it charges faster. How long does your car rests at home over night? You come home and you plug it in. And on next morning you plug it out. That's it.

  34. He says "naught to 60" which is British for "zero to 60".

  35. They just use the same naming scheme as for all the others cars. So when you know what the names mean for Porsche, you know what you get. And also for their ICE cars it has lost its original meaning. There is for example a "Panamera 4S" and a "Panamera Turbo". The only thing that those names tells you is, that the "turbo" has more power, but not why it has more power. Because both versions (like more or less all Porsches today) have turbochargers. And now it is the same for "Taycan 4S" and "Taycan Turbo".

  36.  @outdoorolli5754  Then why do all X3 with internal combustion engines have all wheel drive?
    1
  37.  @outdoorolli5754  " If one wants an efficient and sporty IC model with rear wheel drive, he can chose from 3 series, 4 series or 5 series BMWs." Yes. But we are talking here about the X3. A certain model. An SUV. The "X" usally stands for "all wheel drive" at BMW. So also when you have a 5 series sedan with ethe X in the name, it is all wheel drive. And so the SUVs (usually also a group of car that has all wheel drive) are called X. So again: Why does the electric version of the X3 only has rear wheel drive, while all the other X3 have all wheel drive? The argument "BMW is famous for rear wheel drive. Brings efficiency and fun." just doesn't work here.

  38. It doesn't have twice the range.
    1
  39.  @damianrowgalo4686  Oh, so you just parrot the EPA range instead of looking for actual tests? Here for example a real life test of the Model S Long Range and the Taycan 4S at 75 mph: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VK0oC83y4L8&t=1328s Tesla: 263 miles Porsche: 233 miles And that test is not an exception, everybody says that the actual range of the Taycan is not that much lower than the Model S.

  40. I find it hilarious that you blame others for lying, while you are the one with the ignorance about Tesla. P100D? That was available only until Februar 2019 - you have not noticed that Tesla has changed their naming scheme since more than a year? Now it is just the "Perfomance" version. And yes, they used the Perfomance version in this video - why do you think they don't? Also the price of 105,000 pounds shows that. And already in the title it says "Cheetah stance" and they mention it. That is the newest software update for an even better acceleration - and it is only available for the Perfomance versions of S and X.
    1
  41.  @AdamsDetail  "regardless of names this isn't the fastest Tesla on the market which he does say. " The fastest Tesla at the Moment is the Model S Perfomance with Cheetah stance update. Show me that it is not used in this video! Show me which is faster! "The p100D available or not does 0-60 in 2.2s while the porche taycan does it in 2.4s" You are talking about paper numbers here, who cares about them? Or do you want to say that the old P100D is quicker than the newest Perfomance with the newest update? However, I don't even find paper numbers for a P100D with 2.2 s. "This entire video is to trick people into thinking porche makes a faster car than Tesla which they don't." They do. You still haven't show me, that the Tesla, that is used in the video, is not the fastest. Actually I don't know at the moment if the old P100D is faster (to be honest I cannot believe it), but when you now go to the Tesla website and order the fastest Tesla (the Model S Perfomance) you get the car that they use here in the video. You Tesla fanboys are really ridiculous up to a level of "conspiracy theorists".You see a video where Porsche wins and you immediatly say "This is sponsored by Porsche!!!!!!"
    1
  42.  @AdamsDetail  Oh, and another thing: What do you even mean with "faster"? You guys are so focussing on 0-60 times. But what is beyond 60 mph? Actually the biggest German car youtube channel uses 100 km/h to 200 km/h (62 mph to 124 mph) as there reference when they want to know how fast a car is or how much additional power engine tuning makes. They Taycan here wins especially at the end, not in the first three seconds. because of the second gear the Tesla (and even if it is your alleged2.2 second P100D) has no chance against the Taycan beyond 60 mph.
    1
  43.  @AdamsDetail  " and their car is twice the cost with half the range. " Half the range? Don't listen to EPA range, but real life instead. Here actual tests (OK, It is "Model S long range vs Taycan 4S" and not "Model S Perfomance vs Taycan Turbo S") at 120 km/h: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VK0oC83y4L8&t=1311s 376 km vs 424 km is in no way "half the range". "However yes the Taycan does beat the Tesla in one category" Only one? You really think that if there is a usually compolete review of the two cars, the Taycan would only win in one category? " So out of the 2 categories that really matter 0-60 and Qtr mile" They really matter? Maybe in the USA. Here in Germany nobody cares about drag races, it is a weird sport to us. I have never understood why Tesla focus so much on 0-60 numbers as the only quality for the perfomance of a car. "On the other hand Tesla still makes a faster VEHICLE than Porsche, its called a rocket ship. " Are you kidding? No, Tesla doesn't make rocket ships. You mean SpaceX? A complete different company, that just happened to have the same CEO? "Tesla's cars literally drive themselves. " German cars, too. In several tests there were no big differneces in the self driving systems of Tesla vs other car makers. Tesla just makes a better marketing for that and allow their cars to do more, while the other call there system more carefully "assistance". We have just a drag race here between a Tesla and Porsche and the Porsche wins. That's it. So why all these excuses that I hear from the Tesla fan boys? Why cannot they just say "Hey, cool, congratulations to Porsche"? And why do you make a discussion about how cool American companies are, which has nothing to do with all this? I am not a Porsche fanboy (actually I am not even a real car guy, I am insteresting in what's going on in the industry an how technology progresses, but I don't even own a car, I walk, use my bicycle ad use public transportation), in other discussion I even often defend Tesla when others have prejeduces and talk bullshit about them.

  44. Yeah, I also like these 800 HP family cars, that always showed off how great they are in drag races and were optimized on exactly that... And now when it loses, it is suddenly just a family car...
    1
  45. Actually once in an interview Mats himself said, that he had no problem if it is pronounced "RImak" internationally". BTW also after decades many Americans still say pronounce "Porsche" like "Porsh"

  46. Battery
    1
  47. And I wonder why they even offer the smaller battery a) Range ist still an issue for many people when it comes to electric cars, and even with the bigger battery the range of the Taycan is not that great b) the bigger battery does not only provides better range, but also more power and higher charging speed c) It is "only" 6500 Euros! In other EVs with different battery sizes, it is usually they main difference between two versions of a car, and the relative price difference for the bigger battery is quite high. So that for some peoply there is a reason to take the smaller battery when they think, the range is enough for them. But here? The base price is already 105000 Euros! And the bigger battery is just one option among tons of others. And obviously Porsche-Customers are willing to pay much extra money for (sometimes even gimmicky) options: Electrcic Sport sound 500€, Sports seats: 2000 €, dynamic chassi control 3200 €, ceramic breaks 9000 €, park assistance 1400 €, leather interior 4000 €, electric charging port 620€, ambient lightning 400 €... and the list goes on and on...). So why the hell should anybody not buy the bigger battery?
    1
  48. Wow, you really complain about that, but not that he says "Porsh"?
    1
  49. Aber auch nur weil der Taycan in UK komischerweise so billig ist (oder der Tesla teuer?). In Deutschland ist es 97.000 Euro vs 185.000 Euro.

  50. I thought exactly the same. Well, same company...
