The Taycan is a much more distinctive looking car.

Just thinking that it's easy to criticize but difficult to come up with solutions. The need to bring this technology on remains. So here's mine. A recognition that what currently purports to be FSD can be dangerous in its current state. So require everyone who wants to use FSD (TBD) to take...

You have a problem here. This stuff is already out there and some people just trust it, or abuse it, or don't know how to use it properly because they think it's fool proof or they're just too lazy to learn how to use it. Remember nobody reads manuals they just learn the facts from a YouTube...

Yes, Porsche is going to have to learn how to make cars in the brave new world. Farts are just a distraction. Can't use the parts bin to make a new car. Needs to get control of battery tech fast. Reduce product cycle times until the tech stabilizes. Learn how to do OTA (probably in a...

There are 3 entities involved at this time and this is what each has to say. From their websites. At least until the class action guys get involved and get to look at Tesla's internal documents and emails. Tesla says this on Full Self-Driving Capability plus you would have to add Elon's...

I think there is a slightly missed point here. Assume hypothetically you are the product manager for the Taycan and Porsche means performance, it's not a lux brand. When the car came out it was the best. Lots of discussion about 0-60 times and quarter miles and the car showed really well...

Yes. Combined with other videos and comments, it pretty well lays out where the Taycan stands at this time. The Taycan was competitive with most cars by compensating for its reduced battery efficiency by using a bigger battery. But this is a bit of a one trick pony, because bigger means...

Sure, if you are into stop light drag races and quarter mile tracks, it makes lots of sense. Otherwise when you graduate from puberty get something with some class.

There are a lot of technologies in the pipeline. Don't know which one(s) win, but the physics are just potentially so much better for EV's than ICE for most transport purposes that ICE will go the way of the Dodo. Unless politicians try to keep the Zombie alive.

If referring to the Tesla If referring to the Tesla Model Plaid which burned up. There were about 25 on the road at the time. So 1 out of 25? It could be significant or it might not be significant. To be determined. But it is a new model and potentially more likely to have design flaws. I...

Your wife doesn't like expensive things? Maybe we could trade.

Separated at birth? Yeah, the test was not well designed given the low battery charge in the Taycan. A lot of the comments can be down to personal preferences.

Yup, we all drive NHRA standards at the stop light. There's an issue here that Tesla has had all along. Overstate the case for the unwary. Seen it before on EPA range ratings. It's a good car and doesn't need this. Always gotta be the biggest and bestest 'cause I am smarter than you and...

As more people get to review the Plaid, some of the magic starts to wear. Not that it isn't a good car. Just got some hype attached, so let's see what further hype there is.

First thing you do. Is don't let your kids use the car.

I was trying to work through all the sound and fury on this thread. Could be wrong, but the Plaid comparison is really with the Turbo S including pricing and not the 4S which is what most people have and which is more comparable to the Model S long range. So I have decided I am quite happy...

I would consider a Tesla. When it learns how to go around corners and has a quality feel. Oh wait, I already have one of those. It's called a Taycan.

I went from a 2017 911 4CS to a Taycan 4S. I do not regret the move. The Taycan gives you more room, more storage and a more comfortable and quieter ride. It handles as you would expect a Porsche though it is not as quick as a 911 in tight maneuvers. It's an all round bigger car. The bigger...

There is a bit of a problem brewing here. The Taycan has been range competitive with the older Tesla's. But the new model 3 and Lucid have 100 kWh batteries.
