So this is an electric car and all of its functions are controlled by software. The opposite of simple. So does Porsche do a competent job handling this?

My rant. I have had it. Love the car, but I won't buy another Taycan until Porsche gets the software (all of it) fixed. And I won't recommend the car to anyone else either. Spoke to a young lady looking at trading her Maserati for a Taycan. Sorry, not a good idea. Lot's of alternatives out...

Fascinating. Never heard about this. So if someone were to buy a Plaid with FSD and drive it like they advertise, FSD wouldn't be turned on. Have to watch when MSM starts reporting on this. Heard it here first.

I think you are misstating your case. My recollection is that we had this conversation before and I think I pointed out we saved you guys from those guys but you took umbrage to that.

Thank you. I didn't know about Godwin's law. Now I have to reread this whole thread to see who first raised the subject of Nazis.

You'll be back. This thread is like driving by a traffic accident. You just have to look.

The continual use of the fanboy term is an ad hominem attack on the character of those who disagree with you rather than dealing with the facts. The phrase Gobbels propraganda is similar but more extreme.

I was referring to you. Tesla has demonstrated that it is a valuable property (measured by market cap), because as the sales graph shows, it generates rising sales for its electric cars. Market cap is a result of all the inputs that go into the value of a company. But your argument will...

You may wish to review a standard finance text book. The market is a discounting mechanism. It's forward looking not backward looking, though with volatility. If you feel that your argument is the more powerful one, then you may wish to consider a short position. Let me know how that works out.

From your favorite source.

Tesla mainly produces electric vehicles. Tesla’s market capitalization has risen from $0 to $766.7 billion. Market cap is a measure of economic viability. Ergo Tesla has validated BEV’s are economically viable.

No let it run. Some of the premier posters on this forum are going to toe to toe. Great stuff.

I actually thought you were doing the best job of making your case of anyone.

This thread has become a primer on logical fallacies. Quite entertaining.

To the extent you can drive a Taycan on a track, I guess it's a track car. But it has the same fundamental problem of all EV's. Potentially lots of power but It's too heavy. Need to wait for a future incarnation that weighs a lot less. Then the car will get a lot quicker.

You are probably right. Tuning the car is an easier fix than changing the battery and motors. Additional comment. Tesla looks like it used a brute force method to up the performance. Bigger battery and new motors. Not tuning the car.

I think Porsche will respond by creating a higher performance model at the expense of range. You can "tune" EV's to maximize range or performance or compromise on something in the middle. 100 kWh batteries seem to be the maximum that manufacturers are currently prepared to go to as the weight...

You can't reason with a cult member. You can just wind them up to a frantic pitch.

Fascinating to watch the Teslarati scurrying about after this review. Hope they are still taking their blood pressure meds.

Seeking the lowest coefficient of drag tends to yield cars that look somewhat Tesla like. The Taycan has avoided this with its own unique look.
