WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.480
(car accelerating) - (gasps) Holy (beep) (Laughing) Oh heck yeah, we got one.

00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:09.480
The Porsche Taycan 4S, and she looks friggin' beautiful.

00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:14.770
So, for those of you that don't know, this is Porsche's first full electric vehicle, well I guess

00:00:14.770 --> 00:00:17.890
the Turbo S was, but uh, whatever. First full electric vehicle, and

00:00:17.890 --> 00:00:21.640
ours comes in at cool $160,000.

00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:25.960
Um, if you can't tell by my shirt, I don't normally drive cars like this.

00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:31.410
In frozen blue metallic, that's this color here. The rubberneck a-tude is level ten.

00:00:31.410 --> 00:00:34.500
Like every single person, the person in the van over there that's like waiting

00:00:34.500 --> 00:00:38.910
for someone across the road, they are just.. People that drive past, every single person

00:00:38.910 --> 00:00:43.540
that you go past, they're all just like... Look at it, it's freaking beautiful.

00:00:43.540 --> 00:00:49.441
Now, starting off in the front here let's see how the frunk is. Come in here, there's a little

00:00:49.441 --> 00:00:53.053
red latch there that you have to pull. (latch thumping) Up got it.

00:00:54.350 --> 00:00:59.400
And there's a respectable amount of space in here. I would say that you can probably fit,

00:00:59.400 --> 00:01:05.500
if you take like, one two-four and put it down sideways. You can take another two-four and put it on top.

00:01:05.500 --> 00:01:09.250
And then, hundred percent ready for the cabin parties.

00:01:09.250 --> 00:01:12.073
I'm sure that's what everyone (laughs) is using these for.

00:01:13.175 --> 00:01:17.920
(shutting frunk) Now, not only is this thing beautiful, but also is a real slippery boy.

00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:23.540
So, one thing that's super cool- down here is actual little doors that close across these radiators when they are not needed.

00:01:23.540 --> 00:01:25.840
To bring the co-efficient of drag down to .22.

00:01:26.710 --> 00:01:31.270
I'm not a hundred percent sure on that because those rims might bring it down to .25.

00:01:31.270 --> 00:01:34.510
But, either way incredible. Now, for those of you that aren't totally

00:01:34.510 --> 00:01:38.177
sure what the co-efficient of drag is, basically, the lower it is the better.

00:01:38.177 --> 00:01:42.350
Because that means, there will be less resistance as the car is moving through the air.

00:01:42.350 --> 00:01:48.293
I think, a Volkswagen Golf lands somewhere around .32 - .35. Prius is .28.

00:01:48.293 --> 00:01:51.730
So, getting .22, is friggin incredible.

00:01:51.730 --> 00:01:55.450
Now that said, we do have the rims off of the Turbo S.

00:01:55.450 --> 00:01:59.450
Uh, the ones that come stock on this have more of like a turbiney design.

00:01:59.450 --> 00:02:04.338
Which I think, helps out your co-efficient of drag. But... These things look really sick.

00:02:04.338 --> 00:02:08.266
That said though, the options on this car are friggin insane.

00:02:08.266 --> 00:02:12.480
So, these wheels right here, $5,300,

00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:17.130
and this bit of blue paint, is another $1,300.

00:02:17.130 --> 00:02:22.360
There is over $40,000 worth of options on this thing it's, friggin' (laughs) crazy.

00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:26.890
Speaking of options, Pano roof comes with the premium package.

00:02:26.890 --> 00:02:30.790
That's another eight grand. (Laughs) Uh.. But what is really cool is that right here,

00:02:30.790 --> 00:02:34.910
you get your charger you give that thing a little flick, and it opens up.

00:02:34.910 --> 00:02:39.860
And there's chargers on both sides so, you don't have to worry about how you pull up to the charger.

00:02:39.860 --> 00:02:45.200
I think that's just a really nice little touch. Moving across. The door handles they pop out of it,

00:02:45.200 --> 00:02:49.363
but they can stay in. Now, I'm always concerned about things like this,

00:02:49.363 --> 00:02:53.200
like being from out East. You have an ice sheet over it,

00:02:53.200 --> 00:02:57.690
you just can't open your car doors. But that said, if you all notice these it's in a heated garage.

00:02:57.690 --> 00:03:03.143
Like, it's not going to be a problem for you. But, you wanna get in, it pops out- easy.

00:03:03.143 --> 00:03:07.700
(car door being shut) Even the butt of this thing looks really good. Then again, one mild complaint that I have,

00:03:07.700 --> 00:03:14.243
is that these...these thick ole haunches, (Laughs) make it really hard to figure out just how big the car is.

00:03:14.243 --> 00:03:18.125
But, you'll get used to that eventually. Back here, we do have a spoiler.

00:03:18.125 --> 00:03:24.050
That does lift up at speed. And also, a trunk of course. (laughs)

00:03:24.050 --> 00:03:28.733
I like that they have the button here that's easy to find. And I also really appreciate that to close it,

00:03:28.733 --> 00:03:31.900
they have not just close, but close and lock.

00:03:31.900 --> 00:03:36.300
Just saves you a step. Nice touch. In here, we have the slate for this video.

00:03:36.300 --> 00:03:41.370
I think it's a lot of room. Brandon said it wasn't, but it's a sports car what do you expect?

00:03:41.370 --> 00:03:45.680
And also, a big ole charger. Oh, they give you the whole thing in here too. (laughs)

00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:49.010
I know that this comes with, a... tire repair kit,

00:03:49.010 --> 00:03:54.150
but I don't know where it is. Eh, that's something you can figure out in the owner's manual... When you have that problem.

00:03:54.150 --> 00:03:57.550
We also have some nice little cubbies down here to chuck your wine bottles.

00:03:57.550 --> 00:04:01.163
I don't know. If you have one of these you are probably putting like $1,300 worth of front.. wine in there,

00:04:01.163 --> 00:04:04.400
but you know. (Laughs) Rear seat room's impressive.

00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:09.370
So, this is behind the seat, and it's full back position. It's further forward when I actually

00:04:09.370 --> 00:04:13.340
get the driving position set, and I can still sit very comfortably back here.

00:04:13.340 --> 00:04:16.910
You also get heated seats, and some little air con.

00:04:16.910 --> 00:04:21.850
Very nice! Additionally, you also get cup holders,

00:04:21.850 --> 00:04:26.080
and a full-blownsies ski hatch. I can't show you that because it's hitting our camera,

00:04:26.080 --> 00:04:29.920
but you get the deal. (Laughs) There even appears to be a vent for foot heating.

00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:33.480
So, cool, I guess. My only complaint about back here

00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:37.378
is that there is no charging parts, as far as I can tell, for the rear passengers.

00:04:37.378 --> 00:04:40.550
(Laughs) Maybe that's an option, for like $5,000.

00:04:40.550 --> 00:04:45.080
Hey, future Alex here. Uh, I was too excited, and forgot to do the sponsor segue. But here it is!

00:04:45.080 --> 00:04:49.670
Sponsor segue to Pulseway. Pulseway is a real time remote monitoring, and management software.

00:04:49.670 --> 00:04:53.633
You can work from anywhere with their mobile app, and get a real time view across your entire network.

00:04:53.633 --> 00:04:57.220
Fix problems on the go, by sending commands from any mobile device,

00:04:57.220 --> 00:05:01.210
and you can even send commands with your voice. Automate repetitive tasks

00:05:01.210 --> 00:05:05.381
to find auto remediation work flows, and ensure critical patches are automatically applied.

00:05:05.381 --> 00:05:10.375
It's available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. So, try it for free today at the link below.

00:05:10.375 --> 00:05:15.375
(groans) Moving in here, this is a nice spot to exist.

00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:19.200
So, you know, as normally you get your seat memory.

00:05:19.200 --> 00:05:23.785
But, what I wanna test, can you fit an lttstore.com water bottle down in here?

00:05:23.785 --> 00:05:27.484
(shuffling) Beautiful! She's a pass.

00:05:27.484 --> 00:05:31.700
I love that for long road trips. Overall, this is a very nice spot to be.

00:05:31.700 --> 00:05:35.310
But, I do have a couple of nit-picks to get out first.

00:05:35.310 --> 00:05:40.270
Panel black, hate it. It always looks terrible after not very long.

00:05:40.270 --> 00:05:44.643
Now I've only been using this for about an hour, but my impressions so far, are that this is

00:05:44.643 --> 00:05:48.979
the most inscrutable infotainment, that I have ever experienced.

00:05:48.979 --> 00:05:53.110
I've watched like 20 minutes worth of videos, outlining how it works, and I still (laughs)

00:05:53.110 --> 00:05:56.990
don't totally get it. The climate control, it's never going to get better.

00:05:56.990 --> 00:06:00.390
Because I want a knob. What's wrong with just being able to aim

00:06:00.390 --> 00:06:05.580
your vents right here. Instead you have to come in here, and aim the vents to where you want them to be.

00:06:05.580 --> 00:06:10.587
Who thought that was a good idea? It does work, but oh my God that's stupid. (Laughing)

00:06:10.587 --> 00:06:14.530
Other complaint, no Android auto. Come on Porsche,

00:06:14.530 --> 00:06:17.800
apparently it's coming in 2022 in the 911, and stuff.

00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:21.560
But for now, only apple car play. I don't know why they can't have both.

00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:24.880
Apparently, it's for "security concerns" or something,

00:06:24.880 --> 00:06:29.020
but I don't know, I'm using the phone anyway. Just give me a little thing to be like,

00:06:29.020 --> 00:06:34.110
yes I understand this isn't exactly what you want I don't care, I want my Android auto.

00:06:34.110 --> 00:06:38.950
The map and navigation is at least pretty good. This is quite responsive and apparently,

00:06:38.950 --> 00:06:44.130
Google are the ones that supply the technology for it, so it's gonna be decent.

00:06:44.130 --> 00:06:50.340
Although I don't get to say, "Hey (indistinct)," and have it take me somewhere. We get a navigation display (laughs).

00:06:50.340 --> 00:06:56.525
This is an option, but I think it's pretty cool. So, this apparently goes to Porsche's rally heritage.

00:06:56.525 --> 00:07:03.034
Where you have, you know, someone in your co-drivers seat. Being like, four right over left two long into

00:07:03.034 --> 00:07:07.550
three right, don't cut over bridge. (Mumbling) And so on, and so forth.

00:07:07.550 --> 00:07:11.080
And the navigator here, gets to... Well, they pretty much just get to

00:07:11.080 --> 00:07:16.050
search up where you're gonna go. That's- that's kind of it. But, it is pretty nice that they have a full keyboard

00:07:16.050 --> 00:07:20.783
when you're driving. It's pretty useless, but at the same time, I think it's pretty freaking cool.

00:07:20.783 --> 00:07:24.610
Now, I do feel like there's more to cover in the tech here.

00:07:24.610 --> 00:07:30.420
But I need like another week or so to marinate on the actual usefulness, and how annoying it is to use.

00:07:30.420 --> 00:07:34.860
We're gonna do a full LTT video, and we will cover that then. I wanna drive this thing.

00:07:34.860 --> 00:07:39.670
Ha! Now, the first thing that I noticed, while driving this thing, is that

00:07:39.670 --> 00:07:43.780
the back up camera is trash. Oh my God, it's so bad.

00:07:43.780 --> 00:07:48.260
I can't tell if that's an Elantra beside me, or a skyscraper. And also, when you turn the wheel,

00:07:48.260 --> 00:07:51.660
it changes where exactly it shows you, which you think would be good,

00:07:51.660 --> 00:07:55.044
but it just makes it really hard to judge where everything is.

00:07:55.044 --> 00:08:00.200
When I was backing out of this car from Linus' driveway, I had to move my Golf out of the way,

00:08:00.200 --> 00:08:03.708
to make sure that I didn't damage the nice blue paint on my Golf.

00:08:03.708 --> 00:08:09.715
It does have a 360 cam. It's fine, but like, when you have $5,300 rims,

00:08:09.715 --> 00:08:14.083
it's not good enough. (Laughs) First of all, these seats in the driving position,

00:08:14.083 --> 00:08:17.690
I think I like it. It's kind of hard to say.

00:08:17.690 --> 00:08:20.811
There's fourteen adjustments, that you can do with the seat.

00:08:20.811 --> 00:08:23.931
As well as like steering wheel placement, and stuff.

00:08:23.931 --> 00:08:29.870
And I'm sure that somewhere in there, I can find the perfect balance. I haven't found it yet,

00:08:29.870 --> 00:08:34.294
but I think I will pretty soon. One thing this does that I actually quite like,

00:08:34.294 --> 00:08:37.740
is when you're going along, and you kind of like

00:08:37.740 --> 00:08:41.730
take your foot off the gas. It basically just keeps you at the speed you're going.

00:08:41.730 --> 00:08:47.403
I'm going up a hill right here, so it isn't. But it basically, just has auto-cruise.

00:08:47.403 --> 00:08:50.642
Now, it is kind of the exact opposite of one-foot driving,

00:08:50.642 --> 00:08:55.660
but I'm not a big fan of one-foot driving because you have to always have your foot on the gas.

00:08:55.660 --> 00:09:00.270
So, I'm personally a fan. As for comfort,

00:09:00.270 --> 00:09:04.860
I would say it is exceptional. Especially, given this is a sports car.

00:09:04.860 --> 00:09:10.440
So, this you do get, adjustable dampers. Awesome. I love them. I think everything should have them.

00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:14.970
At least everything above like, $40,000 should have them.

00:09:14.970 --> 00:09:19.470
And it also has an air suspension, so you can go up and down depending on,

00:09:19.470 --> 00:09:23.035
you know, if you are on a track, or you're going out to your buddy's cabin

00:09:23.035 --> 00:09:26.730
and his driveway is a bit less great. (laughs)

00:09:26.730 --> 00:09:32.650
This display in front of me, you got a couple modes. You can change it here from power meter to map,

00:09:32.650 --> 00:09:36.650
that just shows you the map in the center. And you can also do the extended map,

00:09:36.650 --> 00:09:40.630
which would be awesome for like, longer road trips.

00:09:40.630 --> 00:09:44.190
It's so freaking big. My favorite may be, is just reduced.

00:09:44.190 --> 00:09:47.680
You only get the speedometer in the center. I find that the steering wheel can kind of

00:09:47.680 --> 00:09:52.640
cut off the information on the sides anyway. Now, unfortunately we don't have Porsche's self-driving.

00:09:52.640 --> 00:09:56.196
It's called like, "Innovate Drive", or some crap like that. - (automated voice) InnoDrive

00:09:56.196 --> 00:09:59.890
- It doesn't matter, but then again, the adaptive cruise, and the lane keep in this,

00:09:59.890 --> 00:10:04.780
does seem to be really good anyway. And that's kind of all that I would personally use.

00:10:04.780 --> 00:10:09.990
One thing that I am really impressed with, is the pedal-feel. So I find in some electric vehicles,

00:10:09.990 --> 00:10:13.240
especially on the brakes, you 'll get the regenerative braking,

00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:19.390
and then, also kinda get into the real brakes. And there can be like a weird, nonlinearity there.

00:10:19.390 --> 00:10:23.697
And it's just kinda gross feeling. Where as in this, the pedal just...

00:10:23.697 --> 00:10:29.020
is awesome the whole way down. Now, that might just be because I've only used the regen.

00:10:29.020 --> 00:10:33.100
Apparently, this will do .4 of a G of regenerative breaking, which is like, fantastic.

00:10:33.100 --> 00:10:38.440
I think the breaks on this were like $4,000, so you don't wanna replace those too often.

00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:41.750
Oh yeah, there we go. That's the good stuff.

00:10:41.750 --> 00:10:47.050
You can adjust the volume by sliding right here. It's kinda weird. I would only use the steering wheel.

00:10:47.050 --> 00:10:51.710
So, this is Bose sound system, the most premium one is from Burmester,

00:10:51.710 --> 00:10:55.795
but I think it's safe to say, this one is quite good.

00:10:55.795 --> 00:11:00.795
(Upbeat music) Oh yeah! That is, that is good.

00:11:02.140 --> 00:11:07.590
So, how do I turn this off? (camera beeping) Yeah, so that is very good at being able

00:11:07.590 --> 00:11:10.830
to both have the highs being nice and clear,

00:11:10.830 --> 00:11:15.800
while also having the bass, but it's not like the muddy bass, it's like the nice clear distinct bass.

00:11:15.800 --> 00:11:18.840
Oh, we've got a corner here too. This is an excellent little time.

00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.893
So, let's see how this feels. Uh... It's my first time hitting the gas.

00:11:22.893 --> 00:11:26.077
Oh! Wow. Okay! The steering feel overall,

00:11:26.077 --> 00:11:30.109
I think is exceptional at least for an electric car.

00:11:30.109 --> 00:11:34.680
I can't really tell you how it feels until we've been on a track.

00:11:34.680 --> 00:11:40.530
I am nowhere near the limits of this thing. Like, you cannot do that legally, at all.

00:11:40.530 --> 00:11:44.010
But like, how direct it is,

00:11:44.010 --> 00:11:48.470
it just feels so good. Ah do we have like a tractor up here? Dang it, Lanley.

00:11:48.470 --> 00:11:54.060
Well, I took a wrong turn, and I can now confirm that if you go down like a gypsum,

00:11:54.060 --> 00:11:57.660
very banged up road, it is quite comfy, So, that's always good to know.

00:11:57.660 --> 00:12:01.690
Let's get this thing turned around. Hats off to Porsche's suspension engineers.

00:12:01.690 --> 00:12:05.640
It cannot be easy, making a car that is this heavy-

00:12:05.640 --> 00:12:11.240
I think this thing is like four and a half thousand pounds- feel this good.

00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:15.400
Okay, so launch control. Now, you take the drive mode button right here,

00:12:15.400 --> 00:12:19.340
you put it into sport plus. Foot full on the break, full on the gas.

00:12:19.340 --> 00:12:22.943
Okay, and lets do it! (car engine roaring) Holy (beep)!

00:12:23.995 --> 00:12:27.220
(Laughing) Ope, and now we are way above the speed limit

00:12:27.220 --> 00:12:33.110
of everything in Canada. Uh. ( Laughing) Oh my God. That was shocking.

00:12:33.110 --> 00:12:36.480
So, yeah. Uh, five hundred and sixty-five horse power

00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:39.870
available in launch control mode, and she kicks.

00:12:39.870 --> 00:12:44.210
Um, I have driven Teslas before, even on a track.

00:12:44.210 --> 00:12:48.220
And that was unlike any acceleration I've ever experienced before.

00:12:48.220 --> 00:12:51.810
That was way more immediate. Way more like, head jerk.

00:12:51.810 --> 00:12:54.960
Like oh my God, that is...

00:12:55.962 --> 00:13:00.210
Holy crap. (laughing) Oh my God, I cannot wait to drive

00:13:00.210 --> 00:13:03.460
this thing on the track now. Holy (beep). Oh yeah, it has like four hundred and

00:13:03.460 --> 00:13:10.720
ninety foot pounds of torque. I have floored it in a model S before, and I believe that has a faster zero to sixty time.

00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:15.050
But, the come on time of these motors, is way faster.

00:13:15.050 --> 00:13:19.827
Like when you go from zero to one hundred with this, I'm at like basically 0 throttle right now.

00:13:19.827 --> 00:13:23.960
(engages gas pedal) Oh my God! So, you might have noticed during the launch there,

00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:27.290
that there was, some pretty space shippy sounds.

00:13:27.290 --> 00:13:31.958
So, the electric motors do make their own noise. I think in normal mode you only hear that,

00:13:31.958 --> 00:13:37.618
but when you put it into sport plus mode, there's like a... sound actor, I guess.

00:13:37.618 --> 00:13:41.598
It's fake pumped in sound, basically. But it is quite fun like...

00:13:41.598 --> 00:13:45.170
(zooming noise) Very space shippy.

00:13:45.170 --> 00:13:48.610
I quite like it. I don't even remember what else I was supposed to do.

00:13:48.610 --> 00:13:53.540
I just wanna do that a hundred times. Well, I think that's about-oh my God. That was-

00:13:53.540 --> 00:13:57.497
that was fun. Hit like, get subscribed, uh... let us know what we can do

00:13:57.497 --> 00:14:01.707
different in these kind of videos. And yeah. I am very,

00:14:01.707 --> 00:14:06.553
very excited to try this out on the track properly for LTT.
