I had the Tesla X (still do) since it was first introduced. It’s not targeting the same experience as my Taycan CT. It seats 7 and even the third row is more comfortable than everything except for the excessively large land yachts, and it genuinely has loads of cargo space. It really served my...
It is a stunningly beautiful car. It is not a great car. What are your priorities? Decide and act accordingly. The only thing that matters is whether you are happy. Maria Kondo your life. But ICE cars are part of the problem, so there is that . . .
Considering price is also important. My X was 149K. The fact that people are even comparing it with the Taycan, which was more expensive, is a victory for Tesla. But that comparison is silly. The comparison should be between a Tesla X and, for example, a Yukon, Denali, Escalade, Navigator...
I love my '22 Taycan 4S Cross Turismo and I love my Tesla X with Ludicrous.
I hear all of these debates comparing the cars, and I don't understand them. They are targeting different experiences. Porsche does some things better, and Tesla does other things better.
Apparently based on so many...
Farts on demand!
Actually, I do think the UI on Tesla is much better. I wish that I could open and close all doors from the dash, and I wish that the menu/nesting were more intuitive.
But, my car works perfectly (with colored icons) and I'm beginning to realize that the owner experience for...
From my perspective, CO2 is one form of pollution that we must urgently address, but it is not the only one. The fixes for CO2 cannot ignore other pollution or create more.
And I’m not sure that’s what religious people believe, or at least all religious people.
Stepping back for just a second. Whether people are able to agree about causes or degree, we are all discussing (1) pollution and (2) needless waste through inefficiency. It should be without controversy to say that we as a species should seek to eliminate pollution and waste. We should be...
I don’t understand those who oppose renewables and fighting pollution. Regardless of causes (or existence) of climate change, being efficient and clean seems like a massive win, and the countries who get there first will benefit the most.
I can’t use solar panels either as I live close to the woods and my house is surrounded by tall trees. Well, I guess I could cut all of the trees down so that I could get enough sunlight for solar panels to power my sports cars, televisions, electronics, gadgets . . .
These are all great points. It’s just disappointing that on key issues we all as a society tend to ignore key facts or simplify them to the point of ridiculousness (e.g., EV always good).
There are still places where coal is used to generate electricity, which seems absurd to me.
I love EVs...
Absolutely. And the irony is that, despite one’s political leanings, efficiency and good design should be our collective goals (and more fun in any event).

When my twin boys attended the British School of Washington, they were taught that ICE cars were bad and electric cars were good. They decided that they were against my 911 and in favor of my Tesla. I tried to explain that...
That’s a bit harsh. A nicer interpretation is that there are plenty of Porsche and sports car enthusiasts who need space (like those with kids) who would leap at the chance to experience as much of a sports car feeling while meeting their transportation needs. I’m sure many would love to have...
