[video https://youtu.be/yNowAuiTvEE How the Taycan is Made (raw footage) ] Thirty minutes of Porsche's first electric vehicle being built could be the ASMR you need. - Can't get enough of hearing about the Taycan, Porsche's first electric vehicle? C/D has comprehensive coverage for you. - We were only missing raw footage of the actual production line, but now you can get that, too (above). - More than 70,000 people watched this YouTube content in the two days since Porsche posted it. There's a slightly surprising number related to this new Porsche half-hour video that shows nothing but raw footage of people and robots building the new, all-electric Taycan. It's not some new zero-to-60-mph time; nor is it an update to the battery-pack size. Instead, it's the fact that the video got 70,000 views and counting in just two days. Peek into the comments, and the high number of views starts to make sense. There, one person says that the production sounds are soothing enough to sleep to. Another says the process is like watching ballet. Still another says the video calmed his stressful morning. Feelings of relaxation are not the kind normally associated with Porsche in general—to say nothing about the oomph of actually driving the Taycan—but they do fit well with this quiet video. We can't call it a trend, but other automakers have released videos without any narration showcasing the production lines of vehicles, and they've been surprisingly popular. A 26-minute video showing how the BMW i8 is built that was uploaded in 2017 has over 138,000 views. A half-hour video of nothing but the production methods of the electric motors used in BMW EVs has almost a million views. The Taycan is Porsche's first all-electric vehicle. It uses a 93.4-kWh battery pack, front and rear motors, and an innovative two-speed transmission at the rear axle to produce, in the top Turbo S model, 750 horsepower and 774 lb-ft of torque. Porsche claims a zero-to-60-mph time of less than three seconds and a 162-mph top speed. All of these figures combine in an EV that we think fully lives up to Porsche's values while at the same time rewires our understanding of what an EV can be. The Taycan is priced starting at $152,250. Porsche started producing the Taycan on September 9, and the EV's first deliveries are scheduled for December.
