Edit: In updated results in warmer temperatures C&D achieved 220 miles of range for the Taycan 4S with 21" Mission E wheels. They also conducted the 4S range test in sub 40F weather and kept the HVAC set to 72F...

I kinda like the look of the Air. It has a very clean look. Luxury sedans aren't my thing, but I find it appealing from the EV perspective. The interior reminds me of a luxury version of the Taycan. It's what a future Panamera or Cayenne interior should look like. The EQS on the other hand I...

Official as in magazine. Not necessarily OEMs. Based on Porsche's published 0-60 times for the Taycan they clearly include the rollout. Porsche claims the Taycan Turbo S does 0-60 in 2.6 seconds. Car and Driver got 2.4 seconds with the rollout subtracted, and states the 1ft rollout was 0.2...

Honestly the results make EV's look bad as a track car period. They all lost 10-15 seconds a lap, five laps in. So basically the results tell me that a Model 3 with $20k in performance upgrades can come close to the same lap time as a Turbo S, but neither car really has the cooling power (or...

Another Tesla (Model X 100D) to Taycan owner here. As stated above, keep the Tesla if you really value the autopilot. I hardly used it in our Tesla except for road trips, but when used it's very impressive. I recently used Innodrive on an 880 mile road trip in the Taycan. It's fine, but...

Gotcha. 5X faster on the 10th time to 180km. The Model S faded really quick. It only took 5 runs.

Is this an April fools joke to trigger Tesla fans?

This may not be a popular opinion, but I find that Mercedes interiors always look better in photos and don't live up in person. My dad has a new E-class with the big displays. I thought it looked nice until I rode in it. Not a fan. Porsche will never have the luxury interior of a top Mercedes...

Both. The Taycan has a high level of fit/finish, materials, and quality, but I don't think it's geared towards luxury and comfort. The interior is more high end sports car, not luxury. It's very comfortable for a sports car, but it's still not as comfortable as an S-Class for example. Space is...

The Lucid Air is more of an S-Class / 7-Series / A8 competitor. I know the top model will have some impressive performance numbers, but my guess is that it's just like the Model S, impressive on paper but it won't come close to the driving dynamics of the Taycan. This will be the first high end...

Does anyone believe they will start production of the CyberTruck late 2021? The CyberTruck relies on the 4680 battery. https://www.electrive.com/2021/01/29/tesla-production-of-semi-cybertruck-dependent-on-4680-cells/

The CyberTruck relies on the 4680 batteries as well correct? This would be a bigger miss than the Roadster or Plaid+ Model S. Without the CyberTruck they won't increase sales significantly above where they are are today.

Looks like the Plaid+ might be a pipe dream as well. Tesla Model S Plaid+ Pushed Back To ‘Mid-2022’ After $10,000 Price Hike https://insideevs.com/news/493924/tesla-model-s-plaid-plus-postponed/

I don't understand the appeal of an autonomous car unless it's for a taxi business. If my car is fully autonomous then I would want the cheapest car available that's quiet, safe, has comfortable seats, and a good stereo. That's it. Nothing else matters. It's just an appliance. The current...

No word on any of the Nurburgring bits: carbon brakes, wider body and tires, suspension upgrades, spoiler. It appears this will only go fast in a straight line.

Here is the Audi Etron S setup. Two motors in the rear with separate gear boxes and output shafts. Rivian is simply doing this configuration in both the front and rear.

The motor assemblies are circled in red. Each assembly includes two motors and two gearboxes with separate output shafts to each wheel.

It has four motors (one to each wheel) but they are not in the hubs. Each motor has a direct connection to the wheel instead of a single motor going into a differential. This is actually a much better setup as it allows for simulating locking front, center, and rear differentials which is ideal...

We have a reservation for a Launch Edition R1S. Really looking forward to an off-road capable three row electric SUV. I need the room for all of our camping and ski gear. The Model X didn't fit the bill. We currently have our Audi E-tron but again it's more of a city SUV. I'm expecting issues...
