WEBVTT 00:00:02.919 --> 00:00:10.200 is that a gray hair time to face 00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:14.440 facts I'm not a young man anymore it's time to stop acting like 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 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 00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:37.160 dollar I don't 00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:49.399 understand yeah you know what I think 00:00:44.879 --> 00:00:51.039 I'm good all of this it really isn't me 00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:57.160 but after spending the last month with the Porsche tyan fors I can finally say 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 00:00:59.559 --> 00:01:04.960 of double takes in my life so driving 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 00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:13.400 experience before like who wouldn't want to know something about the 30 something 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 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 00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:28.799 becomes why did you just give the keys away truthfully it's because everything 00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:35.720 from sitting behind the wheel to seeing it in my garage makes makes me feel like 00:01:31.320 --> 00:01:38.079 it's too good for me but explaining why 00:01:35.720 --> 00:01:41.119 is going to take a little while so have a 00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:45.119 seat today's video is brought to you by kiwo kiwo ships out crates that contain 00:01:43.560 -->

00:01:50.759 --> 00:01:53.759 below 00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:06.960 walking into a Porsche dealership is the most emotional experience that I've ever 00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:12.480 had shopping for a car starting with overwhelming confusion the tyan is built 00:02:10.200 --> 00:02:18.200 as the most customizable Porsche yet with 90 options to configure and while 00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:22.560 the representative did try to guide me through the experience most of the stuff 00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:28.720 is honestly better explained through Porsche Forum posts and of the $40,000 00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:33.160 worth of options on this car some like the larger battery are totally worth it 00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:38.400 While others feel more than a bit excessive then I went on the test drive 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:43.400 and boy did that ever stir up some different emotions just so it's clear to 00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:49.560 everyone Gear Head don't care about cars at all you all need to stop comparing 00:02:46.200 --> 00:02:52.720 Teslas to Porsches one feels like 00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:55.920 operating a giant RC car and the other 00:02:52.720 --> 00:02:58.200 one the other one feels like driving 00:02:55.920 --> 00:03:03.680 according to Porsche the 4S model makes 482 horsepower and 479 ftlb of 00:03:04.920 --> 00:03:12.000 torque feels pretty good to me but this 00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:15.000 is really fun stratified Automotive who 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:17.640 happens to be not only a YouTube channel 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 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 00:03:23.799 --> 00:03:31.799 dyno and we found out some really interesting things number one is that 00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:36.519 por is actually overselling the horsepower on this particular model to 00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:41.599 the tune of about 50 horsepower but we weren't too salty about it because the 00:03:38.239 --> 00:03:44.560 reality of it is it mostly comes down to 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 00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:54.640 actually has 184 more foot-pounds of torque than 00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:57.159 Porsche rated it for they are seriously 00:03:54.640 --> 00:04:02.400 underselling the kick of this thing sorry guys your head's okay get a con 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:07.319 over there I really cannot overstate how much pull this thing has so foot on the 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 00:04:09.959 --> 00:04:20.959 release the brake you guys ready Brandon get your head against the head there we 00:04:14.760 --> 00:04:22.360 go 0 to 60 in 3.8 seconds and that's it 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 00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:34.160 in this thing too is just unbelievable somehow it manages to smooth out even 00:04:30.520 --> 00:04:37.160 the bumpiest roads while also feeling 00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:39.639 firmly planted and I guess you could 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 00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:51.080 120 down the freeway feels like 10 in a parking lot it just really is an 00:04:48.039 --> 00:04:52.720 otherworldly Driving Experience just 00:04:51.080 --> 00:04:56.919 make sure you keep control of your lead foot because um especially in this color 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 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 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 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 00:05:13.479 --> 00:05:18.960 have traction control totally off bring 00:05:16.520 --> 00:05:27.080 her into this corner here nice and balanced then on the 00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:30.560 gas oh my God you can do big 00:05:27.080 --> 00:05:32.840 slides holy crap now what makes this 00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:37.400 different than a normal car well in most cars you get what's a mcferson strut 00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:41.440 suspension so that's you know shock on top of the bearing carrier whereas in 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 00:05:43.880 --> 00:05:51.880 much better control of you know how the tire hits the road during the whole 00:05:48.960 --> 00:05:56.600 travel now just handling on the track isn't the hardest thing to do what's 00:05:54.919 --> 00:06:01.440 difficult is to have great handling on the track while also not destroying your 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 00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:10.800 first is an air suspension so that allows you to raise it up to go over 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 00:06:13.520 --> 00:06:19.599 even more is the Adaptive dampers so dampers resist changes in speed of the 00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:23.680 suspension so without them you know you just start bouncing up and down and how 00:06:21.599 --> 00:06:28.639 they work is that oil is forced through a bunch of little holes now by changing 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 00:06:30.880 --> 00:06:35.280 you know able to 00:06:35.280 --> 00:06:41.440 do that until you know making them a 00:06:38.400 --> 00:06:43.120 little bit bigger so that it's nice to 00:06:41.440 --> 00:06:46.680 have on the road in my opinion that should be on every single car that's 00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:53.880 above like $30,000 now as fun as fun as this is 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 00:06:56.240 --> 00:07:01.520 although I want to do one more drift oh God 00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:14.599 everything about the tian's interior is laid out logically at least I assume 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 00:07:17.479 --> 00:07:22.360 Misadventures with the controls and infotainment system started with not 00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:26.720 being able to turn off the heated steering wheel during my test drive and 00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:30.919 basically went downhill from there my 8-year-old son suggested tapping the 00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:35.879 steering steing wheel in the ventilation configuration menu which I honestly 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 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 00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:49.000 this thing is steep even after you read the owner's manual but then even after 00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:53.840 that there are a bunch of really annoying things that automakers have had 00:07:51.039 --> 00:07:57.520 figured out for decades that somehow got broken when they translated them to a 00:07:55.599 --> 00:08:02.199 touchscreen every time the car is turned on for example the driving mode gets 00:07:59.520 --> 00:08:06.720 reset to normal and regenerative braking gets turned off why wouldn't it just be 00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:12.159 exactly how I set it up the last time I was driving especially because you have 00:08:08.840 --> 00:08:13.919 an individualized driving mode and who 00:08:12.159 --> 00:08:19.159 at Porsche thought that this climate control screen was better than physical 00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:24.280 knobs changing the temperature takes forever you should be able to just swipe 00:08:21.400 --> 00:08:27.840 this to go in larger increments also you can't physically control the vents 00:08:25.960 --> 00:08:32.560 they're done on the touchcreen which would be mostly fine Tesla does it but 00:08:30.960 --> 00:08:39.039 every time you change where the vents are facing it resets the fan speed to 00:08:35.599 --> 00:08:41.080 Auto again why possibly the most 00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:44.399 egregious thing though is the display dimming at night where you have to go 00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:49.160 deep into the menus and find the brightness setting adjust it and then go 00:08:46.920 --> 00:08:53.839 back and do the same thing for every single display it's a really good thing 00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:59.440 the Adaptive crws and Lane keep are excellent because that's a lot of 00:08:55.959 --> 00:09:01.600 distracted driving so much of it just 00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:06.240 feels Half Baked like kind of like the engineers tested this thing on the track 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 00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:15.560 audio is subpar pairing your phone is fine but this is just about the 00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:21.800 clunkiest media control experience that I have ever had built into a car repeat 00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:24.040 song outright didn't work for me at all 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 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 00:09:32.079 --> 00:09:39.760 of these things could easily be solved by simply plugging in a type-c cable and 00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:43.160 using Android auto could except that the 00:09:39.760 --> 00:09:44.839 tyan only has carplay which is why I had 00:09:43.160 --> 00:09:48.320 to daily drive an iPhone while I was doing this review and if you don't 00:09:46.880 --> 00:09:52.399 happen to have an iPhone that you can just switch to when you're driving your 00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:56.640 Porsche you're just going to have a terrible time now I remember being 00:09:54.399 --> 00:10:03.079 warned on Twitter to make sure that I evaluate this car in the proper context 00:09:59.760 --> 00:10:05.480 it's focused on driving they said okay 00:10:03.079 --> 00:10:10.440 but here's a question for you is listening to music not an integral part 00:10:07.680 --> 00:10:15.160 of driving the Bose speaker system sounds great so clearly Porsche thought 00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:18.959 it was what about being able to quickly and easily navigate menus with a 00:10:16.959 --> 00:10:24.279 responsive touchcreen is that intrical to driving Tesla thinks so I mean heck 00:10:21.760 --> 00:10:30.680 even Volkswagen porous parent company can do it on a car that is five times 00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:32.800 cheaper and what is this this if I click 00:10:30.680 --> 00:10:38.160 on phone for someone with only one number it will prompt me for which thing 00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:44.519 to call including email what am I going to do with email from behind the wheel 00:10:40.680 --> 00:10:47.000 of a car I'm sorry Porsche apologists 00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:52.360 there is only one word to describe this kind of deficiency in a vehicle that 00:10:48.920 --> 00:10:54.279 costs this much excuse if the 00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:59.600 infotainment is an integral part of the Driving Experience then it should be 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 00:11:01.920 --> 00:11:08.079 think this would actually be a better car if three of these displays were gone 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 00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:17.600 just on a completely different level as I mentioned before the adaptive cruise 00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:19.240 control it's awesome I was finally able 00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:24.360 to use this feature without my wife feeling nauseated by The Jerky stopping 00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:28.360 and starting like she was in the model Y and since I'm making that comparison 00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:32.800 having proper windshield wiper controls is something I never thought I'd have to 00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:37.120 give out a gold star for until I used Tesla's horrible touchscreen ones not 00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:41.440 that I even needed them here anyway since Porsche's rain sensors were way 00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:45.920 better too the parking camera can be configured in a number of ways to suit 00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:49.760 your style and it automatically engages when you approach a parking spot at low 00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:55.959 speed it's pretty nice the seat comfort and adjustments were beyond anything I 00:11:51.720 --> 00:12:00.600 have ever experienced in my life and 00:11:55.959 --> 00:12:00.600 again the ride quality 00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:09.800 what I find hilarious about the tech lineus likes in the Tian the adaptive 00:12:08.040 --> 00:12:14.079 cruise control Auto wipers parking sensors as far as I can tell it's 00:12:11.839 --> 00:12:18.560 exactly what's in my Golf GTI what my golf doesn't have though is crippling 00:12:16.079 --> 00:12:21.720 range anxiety Porsche have done so much to the extend the range of this thing 00:12:20.040 --> 00:12:25.079 from the flaps that close when the radiators aren't needed these vents here 00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:28.680 that create a curtain of air around the tires to help reduce drag and just the 00:12:26.760 --> 00:12:32.560 overall shape which isn't just beautiful but slight es through the air so well 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 00:12:34.040 --> 00:12:41.519 the charge surprisingly fast although Porsche thought of a solution to that 00:12:37.880 --> 00:12:43.800 too 723 volt fast charging and when it 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 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 00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:56.959 cost when it works only two of the seven 00:12:54.560 --> 00:13:00.560 fast charges I've tried actually worked two are actually slow Chargers two are 00:12:58.760 --> 00:13:05.560 broken and one just straight up didn't exist anymore I almost got stranded last 00:13:03.040 --> 00:13:09.360 night after three in a row were broken and this is in Vancouver I thought the 00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:13.519 charging network was pretty good here apparently Tesla's superchargers are 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 00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:26.079 part though I can see the below average range being a disappointment for some 00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:30.839 buyers but as someone who's not into road tripping and who has a charger in 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 00:13:32.560 --> 00:13:40.519 like 300 M is more than enough for your daily commute and enough for the vast 00:13:37.839 --> 00:13:45.760 majority of your Sunday Adventures which will be mind-blowing by the way the tyan 00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:51.040 more than any other electric car yet gets me excited about the future and the 00:13:48.880 --> 00:13:55.800 advancements that we're about to see it proves to me that electric cars can be 00:13:53.079 --> 00:14:01.800 fun and engaging in a way that Teslas just aren't but while the carness is 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 00:14:04.160 --> 00:14:11.279 homework to do things like the charging Network those will almost certainly 00:14:08.160 --> 00:14:13.360 improve but the infotainment system is a 00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:18.240 big question mark for me about this vehicle Common Sense would dictate that 00:14:16.199 --> 00:14:22.839 they can fix that through updates it's just software but that assumes that the 00:14:20.839 --> 00:14:26.680 team has both the drive and the leadership to improve it and that 00:14:24.839 --> 00:14:29.560 there's a desire from Porsche to look after these early adopters instead of 00:14:28.560 --> 00:14:35.880 just fixing it in the next model year facelift and leaving this one to 00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:39.120 depreciate hard if I had 160 Grand to 00:14:35.880 --> 00:14:41.320 spend should I roll these dice then or 00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:45.759 just keep waiting and for me the bigger question is why should I take part in 00:14:43.199 --> 00:14:49.320 this experiment when the GT3 exists it seems like Porsche have landed on the 00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:52.759 perfect internal combustion engine and with emission regulations getting 00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:55.839 tougher and tougher who knows how much longer they'll be able to make it it 00:14:54.079 --> 00:15:00.160 would be a shame to miss out on that though the plus side of this experience 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 00:15:02.680 --> 00:15:09.320 disappoint just like our
