Welcome back to RBR guys & this is my own #Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo. Last time I drove it on the channel it was the German Press car Cross Turismo Turbo S that top gear had half destroyed off roading it. And what a car it was! The aggressive super wagon looks rivalled even the RS6, and the massive speed and practicality won us all over, so much so that I bought one and you guys viewed the video almost a million times.

As of today I’ve done over 9000(!?) miles in my 4S, in mere months as my combustion cars lay gathering dust.

Why have I been so addicted to it? What makes it better than my other daily #supercars? What did I love and what did I hate? These are some off the questions I’ll answer in todays review and report on living with my first #EV from Porsche, so let’s get to it and review my cross Turismo 4S!

So as a reminder - the two-tier Performance Battery Plus used in the Taycan Turbo S comes as standard in the CT, it’s just under 100kw size and it can charge from 20% to 80% in 20 minutes!

At home I use the CTEK Home Charger, as seen in the video:

The electric motors used are Permanent magnet synchronous electric motors, or PSM. These are always alive and give much higher output without overheating vs systems used in past Teslas. The 4S has a 600-amp pulse inverter which is our motor on the rear, and a 300 AMP inverter on the front too; and of course the 2 speed gearbox, 1st gear is mainly used in Sport or Sport Plus modes.

Technical Changes Vs the standard Taycan include a more off road and yet more compliant suspension, using a three-chamber air set up giving a wide range of spring rates & heights. The rear is way larger, we have 47 mm more headroom and a boot with 40 litres more and the all important hatchback - I’ll give you some storage tips on this.

The more important thing is perfoance however, here the 4S Cross Turismo has 490HP on the road and then overboost and Launch Control of 571. They say acceleration 0-60 is 4.1 seconds… this is a bald faced lie! Wait to see the launch info here.

Having done 9000 miles, I’m gonna focus on my experience with this car as my first electric vehicle. That means telling you guys all the things I discovered, things I loved, things that really irritated me, and in general why I’m sold on the Taycan as a product.

As an example, PCM in Taycan crashes with black screens a lot, so I give you a Debug screen fix to help owners. I discover how Lift mode is really useful, how to clean the rear camera which was not obvious (neither way vent control inside) and find an amazing dynamic ambient light option!

The main point I wanna put across, is how I feel living with this versus something like an E 63 or the M5 - which is where I see this car fitting! Today we explore:
