The Taycan launched in 2019 and received a substantial update for 2024 with a larger battery and considerably faster charging. Knowing which side of that update a specific car falls on matters more than the registration year, since range and charging time differ meaningfully between them.
Against combustion rivals at similar money, the BMW 740 reports fewer mechanical faults than expected, at 11% against the 20% we would expect for large sedans of this class. The Lexus ES250 posts an even stronger figure, mechanical faults at 4% against the 15% expected for sedans of this class, though it offers nothing like the Taycan's performance. The Mercedes E350 shows less prior body or panel repair than expected, at 24% against 45%.
The Taycans we inspect in the Kingdom run a median of around 32,000 km, consistent with cars used as a second vehicle rather than a daily driver. At this mileage battery health is not the concern; charging port condition and any stored error codes in the multimedia system are what to verify instead. Living with one is easier than the network's age suggests: charging is most developed in Riyadh, Jeddah and the Eastern Province and expanding fast, and a Taycan charged at home leaves every morning full.
The CarSwitch inspection report on each Taycan covers all of this, including the battery checks that matter more here than on a combustion car.
