Taycan Reservations Begin<\/h3>\n

The other day, news broke that reservations for Porsche\u2019s first electric vehicle, the Taycan, have officially started<\/strong>, and we even got a call from our sales rep, Mr. H.<\/p>\n

\u201cReservations for the Taycan have started. Would you like me to put one in for you?\u201d<\/p>\n

My husband replied that \u201cActually, I\u2019m also interested in the Continental GT, so I\u2019m still undecided about the Taycan,\u201d to which Mr. H responded, \u201cGot it! Then let\u2019s add the Continental GT as an additional car, haha.<\/strong>\u201d (laughs)<\/p>\n

For now, we can\u2019t say for sure we\u2019ll buy it, but we decided to go ahead and place a reservation for the Taycan. When I asked my husband, \u201cIf you\u2019re going to reserve, is it the Taycan 4S? Have you decided on the specs yet?<\/strong>,\u201d he said:<\/p>\n

Well, I don\u2019t really need that much power, so this time it\u2019s the Taycan 4S.<\/strong> If there was a base model, I\u2019d go for that without hesitation. Ever since the Taycan was announced, I\u2019ve been running simulations on the US Porsche site\u2019s configurator, so I pretty much know what specs I want. But I wonder why the Porsche Japan site is so slow to release their configurator. I always think, can\u2019t they do something about that\u2026<\/p>\n

So, since we had the chance, I asked him to share what specs he\u2019d choose if he bought a Taycan.<\/p>\n

Taycan 4S Specs<\/h3>\n

Here are the specs my husband would pick, based on his trials with the US site\u2019s configurator, which you can check out here<\/a>. (There might be slight changes for the Japanese spec, and if he ends up buying, he\u2019ll review it again.)<\/span><\/p>\n

The must-have option was the Porsche Electric Sport Sound<\/strong>. It\u2019s like a sports exhaust system, but since it\u2019s not an engine, it lets you enjoy a dynamic sound while driving. I actually listened to it in a video, and the high-pitched whirring sound was really cool.
\nAlso, he chose black for the body color<\/strong>. He was torn between Gentian Blue Metallic, but felt that black suits the Taycan\u2019s design well, giving it a compact, solid look. He also made the window frames black to give the whole car a solid feel.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For the wheels, focusing on range, he picked the 20-inch Taycan Turbo Aero Wheels, which gave the longest range in simulations.<\/strong>
\nThe interior and seats are mostly stock, but he changed the seatbelt color to red to match the red brake calipers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Regarding driving performance options, he went all-in for the first time with the Sport Chrono Package, Rear Axle Steering, and PDCC Sport \u2014 the holy trinity.<\/strong>
\nThere\u2019s no reason not to get the Sport Chrono Package, and he really appreciated the Rear Axle Steering from driving the Panamera. He also experienced PDCC on the new Cayenne test drive and found it greatly improves ride comfort, so he chose it this time.
\nFor comfort features, just Lane Change Assist and ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control).
\nHe tried to keep options minimal, but it still ended up pretty pricey, haha.<\/p>\n

\"Porsche

PDCC Sport<\/p><\/div>\n

That\u2019s the rundown. Interesting\u2026<\/p>\n

Taycan Brakes<\/h3>\n

I said, \u201cBut with electric cars, it feels strange when the brakes engage automatically as soon as you lift off the accelerator.<\/strong> I get that it\u2019s for regeneration, but when I drove the Nissan Note e-POWER, it felt a bit weird at first.\u201d Apparently, the Taycan\u2019s braking system is structured differently from other electric cars.<\/p>\n

When I asked my husband about this,<\/p>\n

Reading the Taycan\u2019s Press Kit Technology Workshop<\/a>, it says that 90% of normal braking can be done without using the actual brake system, relying solely on the electric system (motor regenerative braking).
\nSo, unlike typical EVs, it doesn\u2019t do one-pedal driving. Instead, energy regeneration only kicks in when the driver actually presses the brake, and the motor\u2019s regenerative braking works behind the scenes. This means the brake pads are used less. That\u2019s why Porsche has set the brake replacement interval by time for the first time, setting it at six years.
\nThat\u2019s amazing. They really emphasize the importance of the driver actually pressing the brake pedal, which is so Porsche.<\/strong> This kind of dedication is why I love Porsche. They develop with a strong belief in how things should be.<\/p>\n

\"Porsche<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what he said. Sounds great, doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

My husband also said, \u201cI haven\u2019t driven it yet and there\u2019s still a lot I don\u2019t know, but the more I learn, the more I realize Porsche is aiming in a completely different direction than Tesla, which makes me more interested.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t actually seen a Taycan in person yet, so first I want to see the real thing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Taycan Reservations Begin The other day, news broke that reservations for Porsche\u2019s first electric vehicle, the Taycan, have officially started, and we even got a call from our sales rep, Mr. H. \u201cReservations for the Taycan have started.
