Looks like a Porsche Taycan's is now available around 40k! Said in this thread if they dipped below 40k it might be worth getting one. There are over 700 available on Autotrader starting around 46k asking pricing.
But...the tech is going to accelerate over the coming years and todays EVs will be outdated.
Its a heavy car.
And I'm not really attracted to them.
....still a bargain to be had if you want an EV. With 700+ for sale you must be able to offer under 40k and find a seller no problem at all!

I'd genuinely buy a new EV6 GT instead.
I've discovered EVs aren't like cars. They don't have any of the intangible, "makes the heart skip" things that cars have. Once you've lost that, there's very little point in spending well over £100k on a car when £40-50k cars do 99% of what they do.

Yes and the Porsche is massively overpriced - new at least. I have a charger at work now, which changes things. Feel like I should make more use of it. But I hanker after a manual car. Might get an old 911 turbo for shi1s and giggles. Or electrify a classic car. Or both.
Atm I just drive a hybrid, its dull to drive but practical. I miss a lighter weight manual car. What should I get?

Had the displeasure of loaning a Ford Mustang Mach E this weak. They've sold bucket loads of them here, because of very competitive pricing and very favourable loans.
Must say it's one of the worst cars I've driven! It's got massive amount of power, but that's it! The stearing is sponge like. No feel whatsoever. Also, absolutely everything inside is rattling and squeaking, because everything is made out of the cheapest plastic known to man! Just a horrible car.

They have so much more character. A farmers house in the South of France and one of these ^ and I'd be happy.
Last car I enjoyed was a crappy Seat hire car. Simply because it was a manual and you could rev it out. Modern combustion engines are mighty impressive, even in the cheapest of cars.
I'm thinking that when I change, I might swap the Taycan for an EV6 GT (or whatever is the latest at that point) and an Exige for track/fun.
Probably get both for less than the Taycan.
I take it you've never been in a Tesla then?
It's all of those things turned up to 11.

I've tried the Model S and the one with the gull wing doors. They're sterile and crap quality, but actually have a decent drive train. Drives much better than the Ford.
The meter goes up to 15 on the Ford
That must be pretty terrible then. The Model S is the worst modern car I've driven by quite a margin.

Yeah, the S was really bad. The chassis is about as rigid as a 70s convertible, and panel gaps are worse than any Lada I've seen. That's what you get when everything is measured to the nearest inch...

You would look really cool driving that

I took it to the Cotswolds and to Devon on a couple trips, but not used it much yet. I need to get a house with a garage. Its stored on the edge of London. It is surprisingly usable, can pootle around town quite happily with the nose lifted. Then when you get an open road it turns into an animal. It’s a bit of a forgotten car. Can get them for 60k nowadays; maybe they’ll appreciate being McLarens first proper production car.

A McLaren MP4-12C…named after a fax machine
this one is a 50th edition, celebrating 50 years of McLaren. Has a different front wing, lighter wheels (unsprung weight!) and a different badge.As with all these modern souped up cars to get anywhere close to the limit you need a track. But it’s very comfortable as a grand tourer, you can happily waft around in it. On the motorway it gets amazing MPG because it’s so light (carbon structure). It has similar suspension to old Citroens using gas to cushion the ride, which makes it genuinely comfortable - not always the case for focused performance cars. It has a decent front boot and a little area where the roof folds into that you can use to store things (obviously with the roof up!). But the sat nav isn’t worth trying and you need a phone mount - a must.
A fun car. 200k new it’s ‘a lotta car for the money’ cliche
