That guy's a complete cock womble, I wouldnt listen to a single word he says, his videos have even been myth busted on other channels showing that he makes things up to suit his own viewpoint.
Ahhh, I see. So you believe other peoples videos overs his. He must be wrong then. That makes sense.
Well, going on nothing but my own observations, reading some official stats and independent road tests etc.. I'd say the following:
1. The guy in the video is actually very annoying - it's remarkable the number of times he says that he'll go through the figures at some point later in the video, then continues to ramble on about how "worthless" his Taycan is, but provide no hard information basically leads to a 25 minute video with maybe 2 minutes of actual content, which even then is useless.
2. He moans about how little the car is worth based on We Buy Any Car, and Motorway quotes. Yet he also seems to avoid giving any specific hard information about what those quotes actually were. WBAC and Motorway would be about the lowest valuation one could get for any car in any case, yet he still doesn't share the figures.
3. He moans that a local Porsche dealer (un-named) declined to take his Taycan in part exchange for "a nice 911" he wanted. No information on the spec or any details on what 911, despite mentioning "a 911" many times. He also mentions the sales guy at the specific Porsche dealer was aware of his videos. Maybe if he didn't keep making complaining/moany videos about his electric Porsche, the sales guy might have been more accommodating, rather than basically telling him to go away (and probably avoiding future moany videos about the dealer concerned)?
4. He claims to have "spent" £120k on his Taycan, yet wants to get rid of it, and "needs" to do a trade-in deal as he doesn't have £20k available to cover the outstanding finance to enable him to sell it privately. Clearly hasn't heard of short term loans or thought about any other ways around this. His take on this, and the fact that the Porsche dealer won't offer him a trade-in equated to the car being worthless. WBAC and Motorway would sort this issue, and despite offering what one would assume to be a low price, this will not be "worthless", but that doesn't fit with his narrative.
5. He talks about being worried about a £45k cost to replace the battery should a fault develop in his car, yet conveniently omits to mention that these come with an 8 year guarantee, so not at all relevant to his situation.
6. He's moaning about the drop in value of his electric car, as he spent a lot of money on it and it's not worth anywhere near that after a year or two. This situation he lays at the door of it being an electric car, yet seems to completely ignore the fact that if you buy any new car for £100k+ (or any amount to be fair), the moment you drive it out of the dealers, you've effectively thrown thousands away in depreciation.
7. To top it off, he also moans about having to previously spend 50p in cash to use the toilet at a service station and being "forced" to buy an over-priced coffee to get change, all whilst making a specific journey to a motorway service station to get a coffee and film it all as some pretext for making this video.
Based on the above, I'd agree with the assessment of
@Fantazia2 as highlighted above.
I'm not a fan of battery electric cars, don't agree that they are particularly environmentally friendly, and will avoid buying one for as long as possible - hopefully long enough for them to be phased out to be replaced by hydrogen fuelled/fuel cell cars (which Toyota and now BMW have indicated as what they see as the way forward), BUT, the above video is (in my opinion) absolute clickbait rubbish.
Apologies for the long post, but I was bored, and it was something to do whilst listening to the NASA Spaceflight live stream building up to the potential 3rd test launch of Starship, which has been delayed but the countdown is going ahead, and it's now fuelled up. This is a far more interesting watch, and here's hoping the test flight goes well for SpaceX.
