Great handling and interior; tech needs work

2021 Porsche Taycan 4dr Sedan (electric 2AM)
Climate change compelled me to sell my beloved e90 M3 and get a Taycan. I've been very happy with it in my first year, with several family roadtrips with young children in the rear view mirror.
It's not a sports car, but the Taycan has fantastic handling, a stellar interior, and comfortably accommodates two car seats for a family of four. It's lovely to drive around the city and … highways. Highway driving feels like floating through the countryside in a silent bubble. The normal mode soaks up the bumps well, even in the broken streets of Boston, and the sport mode crispens the ride considerably and makes it fun on canyon and mountain roads.
In the summer, I'm getting as much as 260-280 miles of range on a single charge. In the winter, it's more like 200. Charging at level 3 Electrify America systems has made road trips very easy. The car is mostly charged in about 20-30 minutes if you can find the 300 level charger. The Porsche app is garbage, though, so sometimes you have to pay out of pocket even with the "free" charging for the first 3 years. At home, we have a chargepoint, which has been fantastic and I can charge it to about half full at work for $1. In total I'd say that I pay about $30 a month for electricity and that's it on top of car payments.
The only real downsides of the car are the infotainment system, which always has trouble connecting to my phone, and the ridiculous pricing that Porsche uses. I've given up on using the Porsche technology system with bluetooth and just use apple car play, but even connecting to my phone can take up to 5 minutes. It usually takes about a minute or two. Not great for a car starting at around $100K. My wife's five year old 3 series has better technology. The other aggravating issue is that Porsche does not include as standard features that are installed in every $50K Honda or Kia. A heads up display or folding mirrors. Another minor peeve is that the trunk makes the most annoying sound ever when it's opening or closing. Totally unnecessary.
In short, it's a fantastic car if you love cars. My main regret about the car is not getting it in a more fun color. If you don't love cars, then I'd save money and get something else.
