1 00:00:02,919 --> 00:00:10,200 is that a gray hair time to face 2 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:14,440 facts I'm not a young man anymore it's time to stop acting like 3 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:31,759 it if you ain't talking money I don't understand if you ain't talking paper I 4 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:37,160 don't understand if you ain't talking I don't understand if you ain't getting 5 00:00:34,079 --> 00:00:37,160 dollar I don't 6 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:49,399 understand yeah you know what I think 7 00:00:44,879 --> 00:00:51,039 I'm good all of this it really isn't me 8 00:00:49,399 --> 00:00:57,160 but after spending the last month with the Porsche tyan fors I can finally say 9 00:00:54,559 --> 00:01:02,559 I get why some people are into it believe it or not I haven't gotten a lot 10 00:00:59,559 --> 00:01:04,960 of double takes in my life so driving 11 00:01:02,559 --> 00:01:09,080 around in the tan made me feel cool in a way that I've I've just never gotten to 12 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:13,400 experience before like who wouldn't want to know something about the 30 something 13 00:01:11,439 --> 00:01:17,880 in a car that's worth more than a year of their salary Right add in the fact 14 00:01:16,159 --> 00:01:23,079 that this is the most fun I've ever had on four wheels and the big question 15 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:28,799 becomes why did you just give the keys away truthfully it's because everything 16 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:35,720 from sitting behind the wheel to seeing it in my garage makes makes me feel like 17 00:01:31,320 --> 00:01:38,079 it's too good for me but explaining why 18 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:41,119 is going to take a little while so have a 19 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:45,119 seat today's video is brought to you by kiwo kiwo ships out crates

this video or at the link down 22 00:01:50,759 --> 00:01:53,759 below 23 00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:06,960 walking into a Porsche dealership is the most emotional experience that I've ever 24 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:12,480 had shopping for a car starting with overwhelming confusion the tyan is built 25 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:18,200 as the most customizable Porsche yet with 90 options to configure and while 26 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:22,560 the representative did try to guide me through the experience most of the stuff 27 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:28,720 is honestly better explained through Porsche Forum posts and of the $40,000 28 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:33,160 worth of options on this car some like the larger battery are totally worth it 29 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:38,400 While others feel more than a bit excessive then I went on the test drive 30 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:43,400 and boy did that ever stir up some different emotions just so it's clear to 31 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:49,560 everyone Gear Head don't care about cars at all you all need to stop comparing 32 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:52,720 Teslas to Porsches one feels like 33 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:55,920 operating a giant RC car and the other 34 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:58,200 one the other one feels like driving 35 00:02:55,920 --> 00:03:03,680 according to Porsche the 4S model makes 482 horsepower and 479 ftlb of 36 00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:12,000 torque feels pretty good to me but this 37 00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:15,000 is really fun stratified Automotive who 38 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:17,640 happens to be not only a YouTube channel 39 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:21,760 but also our neighbor in the complex we work in came over they saw this thing in 40 00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:26,640 the parking lot and they were like hey guys we would love to throw that on the 41 00:03:23,799 --> 00:03:31,799 dyno and we found out some really interesting things number one is that 42 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:36,519 por is actually overselling the horsepower on this particular model to 43 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:41,599 the tune of about 50 horsepower but we weren't too salty about it because the 44 00:03:38,239 --> 00:03:44,560 reality of it is it mostly comes down to 45 00:03:41,599 --> 00:03:48,920 torque if you want to talk about how pey the car feels and it turns out it 46 00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:54,640 actually has 184 more foot-pounds of torque than 47 00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:57,159 Porsche rated it for they are seriously 48 00:03:54,640 --> 00:04:02,400 underselling the kick of this thing sorry guys your head's okay get a con 49 00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:07,319 over there I really cannot overstate how much pull this thing has so foot on the 50 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:11,439 brake foot on the gas that puts you in launch control and all we got to do is 51 00:04:09,959 --> 00:04:20,959 release the brake you guys ready Brandon get your head against the head there we 52 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:22,360 go 0 to 60 in 3.8 seconds and that's it 53 00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:27,600 that's about as much fun as you're going to have on an actual Road the suspension 54 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:34,160 in this thing too is just unbelievable somehow it manages to smooth out even 55 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:37,160 the bumpiest roads while also feeling 56 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:39,639 firmly planted and I guess you could 57 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:45,720 kind of call it a downside but one of the effects of that is that doing 100 58 00:04:42,759 --> 00:04:51,080 120 down the freeway feels like 10 in a parking lot it just really is an 59 00:04:48,039 --> 00:04:52,720 otherworldly Driving Experience just 60 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:56,919 make sure you keep control of your lead foot because um especially in this color 61 00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:01,120 I don't think you're getting off with a warning when you're at a track and 62 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:05,960 allowed to push past what you're legally able to on the roads though oh my God 63 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:11,120 this thing is fun so in like normal and Sport modes you push on you get a bit of 64 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:16,520 under steer it's pretty good but now I'm going to Chuck it into Sport Plus we 65 00:05:13,479 --> 00:05:18,960 have traction control totally off bring 66 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:27,080 her into this corner here nice and balanced then on the 67 00:05:23,199 --> 00:05:30,560 gas oh my God you can do big 68 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:32,840 slides holy crap now what makes this 69 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:37,400 different than a normal car well in most cars you get what's a mcferson strut 70 00:05:35,199 --> 00:05:41,440 suspension so that's you know shock on top of the bearing carrier whereas in 71 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:46,759 this thing right here you have a double a AR suspension so you're able to have 72 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:51,880 much better control of you know how the tire hits the road during the whole 73 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:56,600 travel now just handling on the track isn't the hardest thing to do what's 74 00:05:54,919 --> 00:06:01,440 difficult is to have great handling on the track while also not destroying your 75 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:06,520 back back on the road now Porsche has two things that allow you to do this the 76 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:10,800 first is an air suspension so that allows you to raise it up to go over 77 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:15,800 bumps and drop it right down low for you know track use like this but what I like 78 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:19,599 even more is the Adaptive dampers so dampers resist changes in speed of the 79 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:23,680 suspension so without them you know you just start bouncing up and down and how 80 00:06:21,599 --> 00:06:28,639 they work is that oil is forced through a bunch of little holes now by changing 81 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:32,640 the size of those holes you're able to change how much it damps to take it from 82 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:35,280 you know able to 83 00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:41,440 do that until you know making them a 84 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:43,120 little bit bigger so that it's nice to 85 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:46,680 have on the road in my opinion that should be on every single car that's 86 00:06:45,319 --> 00:06:53,880 above like $30,000 now as fun as fun as this is 87 00:06:52,039 --> 00:06:58,680 there's a lot wrong with this and pretty much all of it has to do with the tech 88 00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:01,520 although I want to do one more drift oh God 89 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:14,599 everything about the tian's interior is laid out logically at least I assume 90 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:18,960 that's the case if so it must be some kind of higher German logic because my 91 00:07:17,479 --> 00:07:22,360 Misadventures with the controls and infotainment system started with not 92 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:26,720 being able to turn off the heated steering wheel during my test drive and 93 00:07:24,759 --> 00:07:30,919 basically went downhill from there my 8-year-old son suggested tapping the 94 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:35,879 steering steing wheel in the ventilation configuration menu which I honestly 95 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:40,400 thought was a pretty good idea but that didn't do it so we resolved to just ask 96 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:45,240 when we got back to the dealer turns out it's down here the learning curve on 97 00:07:42,319 --> 00:07:49,000 this thing is steep even after you read the owner's manual but then even after 98 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:53,840 that there are a bunch of really annoying things that automakers have had 99 00:07:51,039 --> 00:07:57,520 figured out for decades that somehow got broken when they translated them to a 100 00:07:55,599 --> 00:08:02,199 touchscreen every time the car is turned on for example the driving mode gets 101 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:06,720 reset to normal and regenerative braking gets turned off why wouldn't it just be 102 00:08:04,759 --> 00:08:12,159 exactly how I set it up the last time I was driving especially because you have 103 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:13,919 an individualized driving mode and who 104 00:08:12,159 --> 00:08:19,159 at Porsche thought that this climate control screen was better than physical 105 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:24,280 knobs changing the temperature takes forever you should be able to just swipe 106 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:27,840 this to go in larger increments also you can't physically control the vents 107 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:32,560 they're done on the touchcreen which would be mostly fine Tesla does it but 108 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:39,039 every time you change where the vents are facing it resets the fan speed to 109 00:08:35,599 --> 00:08:41,080 Auto again why possibly the most 110 00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:44,399 egregious thing though is the display dimming at night where you have to go 111 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:49,160 deep into the menus and find the brightness setting adjust it and then go 112 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:53,839 back and do the same thing for every single display it's a really good thing 113 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:59,440 the Adaptive crws and Lane keep are excellent because that's a lot of 114 00:08:55,959 --> 00:09:01,600 distracted driving so much of it just 115 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:06,240 feels Half Baked like kind of like the engineers tested this thing on the track 116 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:11,079 went man this is fun to drive and then called it a day I mean even Bluetooth 117 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:15,560 audio is subpar pairing your phone is fine but this is just about the 118 00:09:13,519 --> 00:09:21,800 clunkiest media control experience that I have ever had built into a car repeat 119 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:24,040 song outright didn't work for me at all 120 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:29,079 and why does the first second of my song cut off when I go back a track I can 121 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:34,120 literally buy a $20 dongle on eBay that doesn't have that problem now a fair few 122 00:09:32,079 --> 00:09:39,760 of these things could easily be solved by simply plugging in a type-c cable and 123 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:43,160 using Android auto could except that the 124 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:44,839 tyan only has carplay which is why I had 125 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:48,320 to daily drive an iPhone while I was doing this review and if you don't 126 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:52,399 happen to have an iPhone that you can just switch to when you're driving your 127 00:09:50,519 --> 00:09:56,640 Porsche you're just going to have a terrible time now I remember being 128 00:09:54,399 --> 00:10:03,079 warned on Twitter to make sure that I evaluate this car in the proper context 129 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:05,480 it's focused on driving they said okay 130 00:10:03,079 --> 00:10:10,440 but here's a question for you is listening to music not an integral part 131 00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:15,160 of driving the Bose speaker system sounds great so clearly Porsche thought 132 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:18,959 it was what about being able to quickly and easily navigate menus with a 133 00:10:16,959 --> 00:10:24,279 responsive touchcreen is that intrical to driving Tesla thinks so I mean heck 134 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:30,680 even Volkswagen porous parent company can do it on a car that is five times 135 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:32,800 cheaper and what is this this if I click 136 00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:38,160 on phone for someone with only one number it will prompt me for which thing 137 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:44,519 to call including email what am I going to do with email from behind the wheel 138 00:10:40,680 --> 00:10:47,000 of a car I'm sorry Porsche apologists 139 00:10:44,519 --> 00:10:52,360 there is only one word to describe this kind of deficiency in a vehicle that 140 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:54,279 costs this much excuse if the 141 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:59,600 infotainment is an integral part of the Driving Experience then it should be 142 00:10:56,839 --> 00:11:03,320 good and if it isn't then maybe it just shouldn't have one like seriously I 143 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:08,079 think this would actually be a better car if three of these displays were gone 144 00:11:06,079 --> 00:11:12,839 for all of my grapes though there were a lot of things about this car that were 145 00:11:10,279 --> 00:11:17,600 just on a completely different level as I mentioned before the adaptive cruise 146 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:19,240 control it's awesome I was finally able 147 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:24,360 to use this feature without my wife feeling nauseated by The Jerky stopping 148 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:28,360 and starting like she was in the model Y and since I'm making that comparison 149 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:32,800 having proper windshield wiper controls is something I never thought I'd have to 150 00:11:30,399 --> 00:11:37,120 give out a gold star for until I used Tesla's horrible touchscreen ones not 151 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:41,440 that I even needed them here anyway since Porsche's rain sensors were way 152 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:45,920 better too the parking camera can be configured in a number of ways to suit 153 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:49,760 your style and it automatically engages when you approach a parking spot at low 154 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:55,959 speed it's pretty nice the seat comfort and adjustments were beyond anything I 155 00:11:51,720 --> 00:12:00,600 have ever experienced in my life and 156 00:11:55,959 --> 00:12:00,600 again the ride quality 157 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:09,800 what I find hilarious about the tech lineus likes in the Tian the adaptive 158 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:14,079 cruise control Auto wipers parking sensors as far as I can tell it's 159 00:12:11,839 --> 00:12:18,560 exactly what's in my Golf GTI what my golf doesn't have though is crippling 160 00:12:16,079 --> 00:12:21,720 range anxiety Porsche have done so much to the extend the range of this thing 161 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:25,079 from the flaps that close when the radiators aren't needed these vents here 162 00:12:23,519 --> 00:12:28,680 that create a curtain of air around the tires to help reduce drag and just the 163 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:32,560 overall shape which isn't just beautiful but slight es through the air so well 164 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:36,680 but maybe it's just the weight of my right foot I found I was going through 165 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:41,519 the charge surprisingly fast although Porsche thought of a solution to that 166 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:43,800 too 723 volt fast charging and when it 167 00:12:41,519 --> 00:12:48,800 works it's amazing there's a charger in a park near my house so I go walk the 168 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:54,560 dog come back full charge and it's for a fraction of what a tank of gas would 169 00:12:50,399 --> 00:12:56,959 cost when it works only two of the seven 170 00:12:54,560 --> 00:13:00,560 fast charges I've tried actually worked two are actually slow Chargers two are 171 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:05,560 broken and one just straight up didn't exist anymore I almost got stranded last 172 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:09,360 night after three in a row were broken and this is in Vancouver I thought the 173 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:13,519 charging network was pretty good here apparently Tesla's superchargers are 174 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:21,360 solid but they won't let me use them due to billing problems yes sure Elon for my 175 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:26,079 part though I can see the below average range being a disappointment for some 176 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:30,839 buyers but as someone who's not into road tripping and who has a charger in 177 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:35,279 my garage I don't foresee any point in the future that that would be a problem 178 00:13:32,560 --> 00:13:40,519 like 300 M is more than enough for your daily commute and enough for the vast 179 00:13:37,839 --> 00:13:45,760 majority of your Sunday Adventures which will be mind-blowing by the way the tyan 180 00:13:43,639 --> 00:13:51,040 more than any other electric car yet gets me excited about the future and the 181 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:55,800 advancements that we're about to see it proves to me that electric cars can be 182 00:13:53,079 --> 00:14:01,800 fun and engaging in a way that Teslas just aren't but while the carness is 183 00:13:59,279 --> 00:14:06,040 great as a tech Enthusiast I think it's fair to say that Porsche still has some 184 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:11,279 homework to do things like the charging Network those will almost certainly 185 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:13,360 improve but the infotainment system is a 186 00:14:11,279 --> 00:14:18,240 big question mark for me about this vehicle Common Sense would dictate that 187 00:14:16,199 --> 00:14:22,839 they can fix that through updates it's just software but that assumes that the 188 00:14:20,839 --> 00:14:26,680 team has both the drive and the leadership to improve it and that 189 00:14:24,839 --> 00:14:29,560 there's a desire from Porsche to look after these early adopters instead of 190 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:35,880 just fixing it in the next model year facelift and leaving this one to 191 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:39,120 depreciate hard if I had 160 Grand to 192 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:41,320 spend should I roll these dice then or 193 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:45,759 just keep waiting and for me the bigger question is why should I take part in 194 00:14:43,199 --> 00:14:49,320 this experiment when the GT3 exists it seems like Porsche have landed on the 195 00:14:47,279 --> 00:14:52,759 perfect internal combustion engine and with emission regulations getting 196 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,839 tougher and tougher who knows how much longer they'll be able to make it it 197 00:14:54,079 --> 00:15:00,160 would be a shame to miss out on that though the plus side of this experience 198 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:04,959 is that when they do kill the Flat 6 what's coming around the corner will not 199 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:09,320

infotainment system and the other one's a car
