From a design perspective, I couldn’t be more excited about the Taycan. Teslas leave me cold, especially in the cabin. The Model S is particularly homely and uninspired in that department.

With the Taycan, I feel that Porsche has achieved something magnificent. They’ve proved that cars can be filled with screens and be art also. I don’t think I’ve seen any other cabin integrate digital displays in such a purposeful, elegant way.

I am staunchly against the screens, but I will concede it still looks excellent. It is a very nice interior. The majority of the exterior is just a modern porsche which is exactly what I think electric cars should be as they enter the market.

The headlights though, look like some kind of light based disease has begun eating away the front of the car. My partner has trypophobia and I would be hesitant to show her that photograph!

Wow, I’d never heard of that phobia. I’d keep her away from the hideous new BMW 3 series too. The speaker grille on the dash is so vibrating and irregular, it’s hard to keep your eyes on the road!

I agree, it looks amazing, but I still do not understand why EV always means many/huge displays and no hardware buttons. Maybe we just have to get used to the future with no buttons and touch screens everywhere

Oh yes, I personally don’t like the everything-a-touchscreen trend at all. But it seems unstoppable, so I’m glad at least that it hasn’t killed cockpit design.
