2022 Porsche Taycan 4S Cross Turismo

It's electric and electricity is cheap in the Seattle area, especially from 11pm to 7am for me when it's $0.044 per kwh
It charges very quickly on roadtrips, up to 270 kw or 5%-80% in about 20 minutes (did Seattle to Vegas and back in it!)
it's a wagon so it's very practical. both our big dogs fit in there and we've taken them on some shorter roadtrips. I even got a roofbox for it, and it didn't impact the range as badly as I'd feared
the driving experience is wonderful. it's not even close to the fastest Taycan but the 4S even at second lowest trim is without question fast enough, but the real enjoyment comes from the handling on top of that, it's just so so so good
keeps up with GT3 RS at the track, though that might be more about GT3 RS owners babying their cars than anything else
its comfy and quiet and communicative

While I'm not exactly thrilled about the massive depreciation, I don't see any other car now or in the foreseeable future that can also do all the things it does well without being a fucking SUV or crossover or truck.

Also if Taycans get cheap enough for more people to get into them, I hope more people do, cuz even the absolute lowest spec, zero options, smallest battery sedan is a solidly excellent car
