Used 2022 Porsche Taycan Consumer Reviews
Software issues
Be wise!!! Make sure you speak with actual Taycan owners before you buy. This is the inaugural year and there’s been nothing but problems. My car has been in the service garage almost 1/2 of the time I’ve owned it. SOFTWARE issues is all I hear when I inquire as I continue to make my monthly payments without having my car. My brakes failed because of a software issue, my charger overheated because of the “major” software issue and my car slammed I’m the brakes on its own because the sensor “thought” it saw on oncoming vehicle. This has been a resentful and extremely disappointing purchase. If you’ve ever had your car broken into, you’ll understand the feeling on complete violation of personal property and space! This is exactly how I feel about this vehicle even if they “fix” it and return it to me. Porsche has responded to me with “we’re looking into this matter and will reach out shortly”... as I am without a $175,000.00 Taycan Turbo which I just bought 5 months ago and is sitting at the dealership.
Worst software and car support
From day 1 the software on the car has failed to work properly. Porsche technicians and dealers are clueless regarding how to remedy the OTA, control module malfunctions. Porsche North America has very poor support. The car itself drives and handles great but the PCM and software features are a continuous problem. When the software and interface do not come close to the reliability and features of an IPAD I would not recommend buying this car.

Unbelievably sexy and smooth
I stopped in to test drive a Panamara Hybrid never thinking I'd consider an all electric car but in the back of my mind I preferred the Taycan styling. So the dealer convinced my to give it a whirl. The sensuous faux sound was terrific and it felt like a rocket ship taking off. It was a very new driving experience . Now, I can't consider anything other than electric. It was like discovering chocolate for the first time and realizing you are addicted. I was instantly sold on this 4s model with the performance battery and 21" wheels. A friend recently purchased the Tesla model Y and she loves it! Says it's way more powerful than a Panamara. I just cant get excited about any of the Tesla model styling. So despite the fact that it sounds like it has more milage to a single charge, may be more spacious and promises a fully autonomous package in the near future, I like Porche's extended history with electric cars and a probable chance that I could get a quick repair on a Porche in the event it ever needs one. Two years ago on a blog, I've heard a nightmare story of one family needing a Tesla repair and it took 8 months for the part so it was inoperable that whole duration. Tesla did not comp a car. Not sure how expeditiously Tesla has turn around time for repairs now but that story left me cautious. I'm planning on leasing a 4s and look forward to seeing Porche boost the milage capacity and perhaps the eventual autonomous feature as well. Expensive, yes but if you're looking for a luxury experience, the Taycan is sure to impress. I took off a star based on the mileage capacity being sort of dramatic between the Tesla and not seeing any info in the autonomous feature in the near future, otherwise the drive is surreal.

main battery now needs replacement
I’ve had my Taycan turbo for 12 months. Worse car ownership ever. Now needs main battery replacement. They can’t give me an ETA for delivery of the part. Continuous software issues, rattles, error messages. Porsche support awful. Continue to ship new cars knowing there are major faults. Check current owners many having similar issues

Many problems
The car drives well but the software is so problematic that Porsche should stop producing cars until they replace all the hardware and software of the cars. Porschegate. Shame to them that they try to keep it secret.
