New base Taycan starts at $92,250 MSRP. Used 2023 models can be found for $62,000-$72,000 on AutoTrader — a significant discount from original MSRP.
Used Taycans are outstanding deals due to 25-35% depreciation in 2-3 years. New is expensive but competitive within the luxury EV segment. True Value Score: 70/100 new, 85/100 used.
EPA range is 318 miles for the Performance Battery Plus. Real-world is 285-310 miles. Porsche underestimates EPA slightly, so real-world often matches or exceeds ratings.
The Taycan offers superior handling, build quality, and charging consistency. The Model S has more range (405 vs 318 mi), more tech, and costs $15,000 less new.
Depreciation is steep (25-35% in 3 years), similar to other luxury EVs. However, Porsche retains value better than Mercedes EQS or BMW i4 in the used market.
