Our Tesla Has Arrived! (Part 2) | The Drive Is Beyond Expectations—Has It Outdone Porsche?

In Part 1, I shared my first impressions, from delivery and a tour of the interior and exterior to driving around town using the one-pedal driving mode. This time, I’ll focus on how the Model 3 feels on the highway and on winding roads. On the Highway: Like Riding the Shinkansen “Nozomi” On the highway, the Model 3 feels just like riding the Shinkansen’s “Nozomi” service. It accelerates smoothly away from the tollbooth and reaches...

Our Tesla Has Arrived! (Part 1) | Tesla Model 3 Highland Long Range Delivery Day

In this article, I’ll take you through delivery day, walk around the exterior and interior, and share my impressions of how it drives on winding roads—something I couldn’t gauge during the test drive. A Different Kind of...

Test-Driving the Porsche Taycan Base Model: How Does It Compare with the 4S and Above?

What Is the Base-Model Porsche Taycan Like? I recently had the chance to test-drive the base-model Porsche Taycan. The Taycan comes in a wide range of trims, but I’ve driven nearly all of them—including the Turbo S, Turbo, GTS, and 4S. The only model I hadn’t tried was the Taycan 4. I was able to borrow the base model for a few days, so here’s a closer look at how it compares with the other...

Porsche Taycan Turbo S Review: The Taycan That Feels Most Like a 911

The Turbo S Sits at the Top of the Taycan Lineup I got behind the wheel of the Porsche Taycan Turbo S, the flagship model in the Taycan range. At the time of this drive, it was the most powerful Taycan—and an astonishing car. It’s fast, agile, comfortable, and easy to live with. That was my first impression. The dimensions are the same as those of other Taycan models, but the power is in a...

The Taycan After Two Weeks Away | Rediscovering the Thrill of Driving a Porsche

During the kids’ spring break, we visited my parents, so I went a while without driving the Taycan. Since taking delivery, I’d been driving it almost every day, so this was the first time I’d gone so long without getting behind the wheel. When we got home and I finally drove the Taycan again after about two weeks away, the experience moved me more than ever before. The Taycan’s brilliance really stands out next to...
