This is Sean from the Verge,

and I'm standing in front of Porsche's first

而我正站在保時捷的第一輛車前。

eclectic car, the Taycan.

不拘一格的汽車，Taycan。

Now, we've known about this car for a few years,

現在，我們已經知道這輛車有幾年了。

but today, we're actually gonna' spend

但今天，我們實際上要'花

about five hours taking it on a road trip

五個小時左右的路程

outside of Los Angeles to really get a sense

of what it's all about.

So, let's go.

(energetic music)

- [Sean] So, one of the first things you notice

- 所以，你首先注意到的一件事是...

when you sit down in the Taycan,

當你坐在Taycan裡的時候。

is that it's just full of screens.

是，它只是充滿了螢幕。

The sort of crown jewel of all of that

某種皇冠上的寶石的所有的

is this big boomerang-shaped display

是這個大回旋鏢形的顯示器

up behind the steering wheel.

I actually really, really like it.

It's probably my favorite thing about the car so far.

這可能是目前我最喜歡的車了。

Everything is crisp and sharp.

一切都很清晰，很利落。

Then we have the main information touch screen

然後我們有主要的資訊觸摸屏

in the center of the dashboard,

在儀表盤的中央。

and that's where all the infotainment stuff happens

這就是所有資訊娛樂的東西發生的地方

this is where CarPlay happens,

這就是CarPlay發生的地方。

there's no Android auto on the Taycan, just so you know.

在Taycan上沒有安卓自動系統，只是讓你知道。

And, then there's this touch screen in the center console

還有，中控臺上有個觸摸屏。

which is for climate, settings, and some other car settings

這是氣候、設置和其他一些汽車設置。

and things like that.

以及類似的事情。

What's interesting about this center console touch screen

這款中控臺觸摸屏有什麼好玩的？

is that it has haptic feedback.

是它有觸覺反饋。

It has also a little bit more give to it,

也多了幾分給力。

so there's a sort of funking that's happening,

所以有一種funking的發生。

like a little buzz that's happening

就像一個小的嗡嗡聲，正在發生

to give you some feedback, and let you know

給你一些反饋，讓你知道。

that your taps are being registered.

So, all the haptic feedback on this center console

is nice in theory, it's not really

理論上是好的，但它並不是真的

doing a lot to help me solve the problem

幫我解決了很多問題

of not really knowing exactly where I'm tapping.

的，不知道自己到底在哪裡拍。

It also doesn't help that I'm still not familiar

with the infotainment system and everything

與資訊娛樂系統和一切

and I'm sure you could get more used to it.

而且我相信你可以更習慣它。

(energetic music)

So, electric cars are relatively quiet.

所以，電動車是比較安靜的。

But, what Porsche did, it created this thing

但是，保時捷所做的，它創造了這個東西。

called the Electric Sport Sound.

稱為電動運動音響。

It is a $500 add-on to the Taycan.

它是Taycan的500美元附加產品。

So, a 150,000 or 180 some thousand, plus $500,

所以，一個15萬或18萬一些，加上500元。

and this is the result.

I actually kinda like it.

For 500 bucks it better be.

All right, so we are at about the half-way point.

好了，我們已經到了一半的時間了。

We've driven for about two hours now.

我們已經開了兩個小時了。

The car's down to 52% battery, 121 miles.

車子的電池電量降到了52%，121英里。

We actually don't have the full EPA estimate for range,

其實我們並沒有完整的環保局估算的範圍。

so, it's you know, mid-to-high 200's right now

所以，它的你知道，中到高200的權利，現在。

based on the European model.

以歐洲模式為基礎。

Maybe a little bit less when the EPA finally releases

也許會少一點，當環保局最終發佈了

its range figure.

The best part about this drive

這輛車最棒的地方是

is that the rest of it is going to be

almost completely through this really twisty, mountain road

幾乎完全通過這個真正的曲徑通幽的山路。

with lots of elevation changes

which is wonderful because everything we've talked about

up until now, is really all about

definitely is as powerful as this.

There is something about this one though.

不過這一次的事情有些蹊蹺。

What Porsche did is it put a two-speed gearbox in this one,

almost specifically for those moments

where you're taking off from zero,
