He lost me very quickly by simply getting the name of the car wrong. The word 'electric' is simply not part of the name. And it wasn't a simple slip-up, as he kept using his made-up name. And then he got several other details wrong, and I turned it off before he got inside.

Am I the only one that finds this annoying? There was an implication that he's part of a Porsche dealership, which makes it worse!

His details are always wrong. He is just a lazy reviewer. His game is volume.

For example, he reviewed the latest Taycan and kept pointing out that the front wheel vents are active, which they clearly are not, given that the automatic charge port is now standard on the facelifted 2025s, which closes the vents with plastic inserts. He should have researched this before filming, but even then, looking and talking at the vent that has a plastic cover should be obvious it is not active.

haa he was all about the Turbo when it premiered .... but he's not reviewing a turbo, and It seems like that's his biggest gripe, yet it's not expressly stated> He doesn't like the mat plastic and reductions done to the lower models to differentiate them from the Turbo...
but thats the way the game goes...

The AI generated stuff on there is so outrageously bad I thought it was a joke at first. Thanks to everyone on this board to all the great info so far.

all the reviews are not gonna be glowing. outside of the matte plastic, he didn't really have many criticisms.
As long as it's not an anti-ev review, it's just another review. I'll take this review over the guy who shit on it cuz he said it's not a Taycan like 30 times.

Oh but it is.

However, giving you the benefit of the doubt and wondering if the U.S. is different compared to the rest of the world, I went to the official Porsche website, and low-and-behold, there it is...

"Macan Electric"
"Macan 4 Electric"
"Macan 4S Electric"
"Macan Turbo Electric"

The fact that the word "Electric" is capitalized tells you it is part of the model name. ;)

I've accidentally come across a few of his other reviews"and I'm convinced he has ai write a script for him. He just spouts generic nonsense that isn't the least bit helpful.

Ah, crap. They made such a big deal at one point about the Macan simply being Macan 4 and Macan Turbo.

He did get other stuff wrong too.

I need to cancel my order now the've changed the name!
