13 Months With a Used Porsche Taycan 4S: The Truth About EV Ownership #automotive

After more than a year of ownership, it’s time for a real-world review of my 2021 Porsche Taycan 4S—the good, the bad, and everything in between.

I bought this Taycan as a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicle and have driven it in all conditions—from daily use to long road trips, including a 1,200-mile journey and a winter drive to Whistler. This video breaks down reliability, battery health, real-world range, charging experience, and actual ownership costs.

You’ll also learn-
How the Taycan performs after 4+ years and 38,000+ miles
The truth about EV battery degradation
Real-world winter range vs EPA estimates
Charging costs vs gas (huge difference)
Porsche CPO warranty experience
Resale value and depreciation trends
Accessories and gear worth buying (and skipping)

There’s a lot of misinformation around electric vehicles—this is a no-nonsense, real world, data-driven look at what it’s actually like to live with one. So if you’re considering a used Porsche Taycan, or any EV, this should help you make a smarter decision.
