Maybe not too surprising on this one. I hear the range on these are not great especially if you drive them spiritedly. And given it’s a first gen product on a new tech, no one really knows what these will be worth 5 - 10 years from now.

I’ve heard more than a few owners say they were having trouble with theirs a fair bit, so I can see how a used example of a complex, 1st generation EV isn’t heaps appealing when it’s near the end of its original 3 year warranty.
That is not really true otherwise ill buy one. If taycans become cheap the market will adjust.
Give it 20 years, it’ll be a classic, “the first electric Porsche!!1!!111???”
This is why I leased my wife’s lol
Great, I’d love to pick up a CrossTurismo
Nobody saw that coming. Just because you slapped a Porsche sign doesn’t change a fact it has a battery.
Every single thing with a lithium ion battery inside are depreciating like crazy due to how expensive the lithium ion batteries are to replace and how fast they deteriorate.
People down want to waste their money on something destined for the junk yard.
With those squinty headlights, not surprised
Let’s talk again in 5 years. There is a general underappreciation of EVs right now. Like most other things - not going to last. It’s also still the only truly sportive EV and the range is actually good in real life - certainly compared to others when comparing at higher speeds
If you think the taycan has bad depreciation, look at the e tron twin
I have to comment to put my post up 😑
I can’t wait to buy one as a daily driver/short trip grand tourer. I really don’t need much range, as that will be the biggest disadvantage in the future. EVs are already some of the best value cars if you want something with high HP/torque. Except this has the suspension and chassis dynamics of a Porsche with the advanced EV torque vectoring like Rimacs.
I’ve always wanted a Porsche and a depreciated Taycan is probably the best I’ll be able to get. Chris Harris’s review really sold me on it. I like ICE and all but I really just care about having a great handling car with the power to push the limits. This car actually uses the inherent advantages of electric in performance scenarios rather then the majority of EVs that always have traction control on.
10 years from now, when new battery tech has made old stuff obsolete they will be worth a fraction. That’s the scary thing about ev. ICE engines never suddenly became 3x more fuel efficient it was a slow and steady march of improvement.
I’m wondering how long it’ll be before a full battery replacement for, let’s say, a Tesla model 3 is sub $5k. If it’s really advancing that fast the “$15k every 10 years for a new battery” stigma should be a non issue.
Tesla Model 3 batteries will be holding up for 15 years, if you get one of the new LFP batteries in the standard-range models you will get 20 years as an absolute minimum. Battery tech in 2013 was a far cry away from what it is now in 2023.
Nah, that was only really true for the first-gen stuff. Battery tech is mature at this point. A 2016 Hyundai Ioniq EV for example is worth about twice as much as a 2016 Renault Zoe EV, difference was the design on the Ioniq was much more mature and closer to modern EVs, so it has held its value really well in comparison.
Look at the values of used Chevrolet Bolts for example, a 6-year-old one is still worth $16k even though they can be had for $26k brand-new excluding the $7500 tax credit.
Perhaps that’s part of the strategy with battery improvement. Do it slooooowwwwwly, so as not to take away from what has already been produced and sold.
50 years from now I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re selling for kidneys and livers because not many people buying them now anyways and most will end up being in junkyard in 10 years
There’s only one electric car that won’t depreciate and that is a Rivian.
lol, tell that to the data: https://www.reddit.com/r/Rivian/comments/16zygtm/monthly_update_used_r1s_auction_price_trends/
I own a Rivian and it’s already showing its age. The ADAS is one of the most primitive systems on the market. The charging curve is not competitive with, for example, the 4-year-old Taycan. There’s no way it holds its value as newer competition is released.
