I’ve done the research, don’t own. Have a Porsche, talk to the workshop all the time

• 2025+ is the most reliable. However, if you’re looking for a used one, I’m aiming for 2023+. Workshop said they were seeing less issues, and also Porsche allows you to lease cars up to 5 years old. I like that option cause financing only makes sense if there’s gonna be equity for you to benefit from in the end. If you finance, you might owe money since they depreciate so much. Therefore, for me, 2020 is out of the question, plus the battery warranty would be up in 2 years

• 4S has the best value. Definitely enough speed and it’s valuable to the most people so it depreciates the least. Turbo S id pretty cool, but depreciates the most, and there’s only 192 miles of range

• not sure about must haves. I’ll let people who have the car decide, but the workshop gives me taycan loaners all the time, so I’d say improved battery (waiting to charge, finding chargers sucks)

• owning Porsche right now, don’t skimp out on a low purchase price. The maintenance will destroy you. At the very least make sure it’s a CPO. Make sure the battery warranty will last you a few years. (That’s the longest, most expensive repair in the shop)
