So then why not just sign up for the $99/month FSD in the spring/summer/fall months? At 11K CAD (I'm in Ottawa, so I hear you), that's 111 months or 9 years, 4 months of paying 99$ a month to break even and that's if you sign up every month and not skip winter. If you skip let's say 4 months...

"not too worried" and "repair is very expensive" are two things I don't want to think about when spending that kind of money. Yes they may get extra warranty If you buy via Porsche, but still, car is already 4 years old and it's a first model year... I'd be more comfortable spending a bit more...

Agree the i4 has a bunch of compromises, but if you value the drive and the build quality, definitely go try the i4, just drive it for 20-30 minutes. I had completely dismissed the i4 until I was driving in front of the local BMW dealer and decided to go try one. It appears too that the...

I guess it depends on what price you put on quality. Porsche stomps all over Tesla when it comes to fit/finish/ride/quality. The fact that a few years ago the Plaid was as much as a nicely optioned Taycan is absolute bananas.

I've heard horror stories about the 2020 (not sure about the 2021), but those batteries are apparently not aging well. I would not touch a 2020 or 2021, they were Porsche's first true EVs...

Even a slightly used one, was looking at a nice 4S CT in Mambo Green, nicely optioned and it's 149K CAD... I guess if you compare it to a new MSP which is about 130-139K CAD depending on options, yeah it's not bad.. Still about 40-50K more than a fully-loaded i4 with a BMW Individual color choice.

Appreciate the review! How’d you score a weekend? Was it a dealer demo, friend? Last weekend i test drove an i4 M50. It’s not a Taycan but I enjoyed it much much more than my M3P. You should take one out for a spin. Seriously considering it. I’d love the Taycan but not sure I can bring myself...

What wheels are those?

Duplicate post, mods please delete. Apologies!

Hey all Strongly considering upgrading to an MS (TBD if it’s an LR or Plaid). Initially ordered the MSLR back in Nov ‘21 but the EDD was June 2022 and I needed a car, so joined the $250 club and bought an M3P which I received in Dec 2022. Regretting it. It’s a great car don’t get me wrong but...

You could go Cross-Turismo 😀 The Taycans even used are so expensive here in Canada. The Plaid and Taycan aren’t really in the same pricing bracket even used.

No I haven’t. I likely will before ordering the S but I can’t see the drive making me change my mind. I’m expecting the taycan will drive a heck of a lot better than the S, I’ve driven Porsches before (a family member is big into them). However the QOL stuff I mentioned is important (to me)...

@Struja as a fellow Canuck and down the 401 from you in Ottawa, you just sold me on the S (TBD if I go Plaid or not!) I was really contemplating the Taycan or the new Macan EV, but the feedback you provided on the tech side, app, etc convinces me that (for me at least), I'll be happy to stick...

I'm sure once the bumper camera is there they'll add the overhead eventually. Kind of like they added the blindspot cameras on turn signal a few years ago. But in the interim, for those without USS, it'll at least allow you to see things as you're approaching, so for example curbs as you're...

I don’t have an S but on my M3P 2022 to ensure the phone connects 100% of the time I have to ensure I press the brake pedal as I get into the car before I close the door. Try that and report back. If not could be some kind of problem.
