@euronewsgreen Raw dog food always seemed unnecessary - and now dangerous. Growing up, I had two yellow labs that ate good quality kibble (with some cooked, unseasoned chicken every now and then). They lived to 18 and 16 respectively. I do the same with my golden retriever today.

I love Porsches and EVs but we will always have a full size Rover. With power out until Monday and no sign of 10 inches of snow melting we took our one opportunity to leave yesterday before nightfall and get off the mountain. 50k miles later and he’s still a complete champ. 🚙

Overall, it's a really great car, and an incredible product considering it's Porsche's first-ever EV. It does almost everything extremely well. My heart will always want a 911, but the Taycan is a rational compromise between looks, performance, practicality, and running costs.

🏁 Driving Experience: I’m a huge Porsche fan (this is my 4th) and despite being an EV, it still has that Porsche “feeling”, especially in the simpler (cheaper) base RWD form. It’s no 911, but it hugs corners, and dynamically feels somewhere between a base 992 and a Panamera.

🔵 Spec: I was lucky to get an allocation with no markup as a repeat customer from Porsche Fremont. I was cautious with options, going with the base RWD, Performance battery, blue over tan, upgraded wheels, glass roof + Premium pack. From order to delivery, it took 6 months.

🔋Range: This is a big one. The optional Performance Battery is essential, not just for extra power. I’m averaging around 250-260 miles per charge, and up to 280 miles if I’m being really well behaved. Extreme high/low temps, or driving it hard will push it down to around 220.
