2024 Porsche Taycan (408Hp) POV Top Speed Drive on the GERMAN AUTOBAHN

Now this one is hard to write about...Now for everything that you read, keep in mind this is the base model of the Porsche Taycan, the "cheapest" one you can buy.
Let's start with the optics, I think it looks absolutely stunning, I love everything, the front, the rear, the overall shapes, I think it just looks really beautiful. Then you sit in the car and this is where I expected a lot more from this car. The interior quality was honestly below average. This car is 2 years old, you get in, close the door and the windows squeaks every time. All the materials are hard plastics, no soft texture on the doors or dash. Window regulators only partially functional, moved extremely slow and also had troubles closing the drivers window. Right mirror controls were not functional, had to change it position by hand, sound system also giving it's last breath and so on. I am not saying that all Taycans are all like this, but I really did not expect my first experience with a Porsche Taycan to be like this.
Then we get to the driving part, which also was a surprise (good and bad at the same time). Starting the car and navigating through all the settings is easy and intuitive. What surprised me was city driving, although the car looks huge from the outside, it did not feel hard to drive in dense traffic conditions or on smaller and tighter streets. Also good throttle response and overall very comfortable when driving through the city. BUT, driving on the Autobahn, accelerating towards 190-200km/h, damn it was unstable and shaky. I think I haven't driven anything that felt so over the place and needed so much steering correction when driving high speeds. All of this with: suspension on sport, good tires with the given Porsche tire pressures. Hard to describe how it felt, but it was like when you started accelerating, the whole rear end of the car was just drifting left and right, the whole time. After you stop accelerating or start braking, you have to prepare and "catch" the rear. Overall just weird behavior. Now I know this one may not be the best equipped Taycan, being the base model, someday I hope to drive a Turbo S or a GT so that I could make a good comparison.
