If you cannot afford them new, you definitely cannot afford them used.

I've heard that before for porche, but I've also heard that electric vehicles tend to require less maintenance overall since there are many fewer mechanical parts. I don't know anything about this particular model so I guess I'm wondering which holds true in this case.
Meanwhile in Australia, the cheapest one of these with 93000km on the clock is $120,000.
Now that the Taycan is almost six years old
I wonder how bad the range is.
183 miles right now, at 83% state of charge on mine.
2022 4S Cross Turismo with 26000 miles (41842 km) on the odometer, bought 2.5 years ago. It 's currently sitting on winter tires mounted on 19 inch wheels. When I last drove it, it was around 50 F (10 C) outside.
The range is great. And the range doesn't really matter anyways given its excellent charging performance: https://insideevs.com/news/512344/porsche-taycan-fast-charging-analysis/
There’s Teslas on 200k+ miles with 88% battery health, so probably absolutely fine.
Only the Nissan LEAF and other early models with no thermal management on the batteries have the major range degradation problems
