British YouTuber, Lee Alexander Davey, known as The MacMaster, harshly criticized his Porsche Taycan, a $100,000 electric car, which he now considers “useless.”
He stated that the vehicle has undergone ten recalls at the dealership, each of them costly, and that maintenance costs continue to rise. Additionally, he had difficulty finding compatible chargers and had to download new apps to charge the car.
Among the issues, he highlighted that the specialized tires to support the heavy battery are expensive, and after a recall for battery replacement, the new version has an even longer charging time. Even simple services, like speaker maintenance, can cost up to $600.
This dissatisfaction is not exclusive to Lee, as more and more owners are returning the Taycan to dealerships or selling the car for far below its original value.
Meanwhile, Porsche defends the Taycan, stating that the updated model brought significant improvements in performance, range, and comfort. However, experts warn that the car still lags behind competitors in terms of range and value for money.
Lee advises consumers not to fall for sales pitches and to decline electric car offers, claiming that manufacturers and dealerships are trying to push them onto the market.
