taycan vs s63 coupe?

looking into MAYBE changing my s63 coupe into a Taycan 4s.. when I posted on the Taycan forums, its funny how they all get triggered saying 4s is a much better car and trashing the s63.. I honestly think the s63 is lightyears ahead in terms of luxury and quality..

but the Taycan design is nice and the new tech is what gets me and im MAYBE thinking about getting into an EV.

The s63 took a huge depreciation hit, and I thought the Porsche would retain its value better however being an EV, as technology improves wouldn't the Taycan depreciate hard as well?

want to know your honest thoughts guys

There have been a lot of talk here in these forums about how EV’s are really lacking in infrastructure support. Do a search, but I tend to agree.

of course P fanboi are going to bash anything non Porsche. I personally have thought about the Taycan Turbo S, but won’t give up the sound of an ICE car. And the S63 is miles ahead in the sumptuous feeling.

I drove the Taycan.
It was competent, I guess but It was missing driver involvement.
Perhaps it was needing a period of adjustment.

My boss has Taycan 4s. It is a really nice car, instant acceleration you'd expect from electric. I made a conscious choice with S63c based on the design, both inside and out, and performance being reasonable S63c has classic coupe profile while it's hard for me to describe T4s style, just not my cup of tea.

S63
I debated trading in my S63 sedan for the Pan before settling on my S63c. The 63 sounded and looked way better, and of course the luxury was light years ahead. I don’t love my Coupe like I did my sedan, but I’m quite sure I made a solid choice over the Pan.
