It’s just trying to keep up reputation with the other American made F’s, such as the F16, F22, F35, F117, etc.

Can we get a 0-60 in 2 seconds, 240 mile range version instead? It would be much lighter, so more efficient, and handle the curves better too. 200 miles real world range is really all I see myself needing, both for every day driving and longer trips. I drove my Taycan 3,500 miles from the...

I cross shopped Model S Plaid, Taycan Turbo, eTron GT RS, EQS AMG, Lucid Air Saphire. My wife cross shopped a Model S LR, F150 Lightening, EQS sedan and SUV, eTron SUV, Rivian R1T and R1S. We both drove Model S for years. Different people have different needs, even from the same cars, and will...

You might start with a minimum of how much you must spend on the car, but others, like me, look for what the car can deliver in terms of capabilities and performance, and then I look how to spend the least money to get that. So while you might not compare a $13K car to a $31K car, if they offer...

If that Dacia beat a 911 Turbo 0-60mph, people would be comparing it against a 911, and the Taycan, the fact that is costs $13K would not make people not compare the two. You somehow assume that price point eliminates comparisons. A while back I was looking at an Audi A6, then realized a VW...

@17QV , if switching from M3P to Taycan base, or even 4S, trade-in or at least stop driving the M3P a month ahead of the Taycan delivery (good change to drive the Alfa for a month). That way you won't feel like you're stepping down in power. I waited 20 months to get a Taycan Turbo CT, because...

You forgot one more picture

Most of the time someone buys a car, it’s because they’ve come to a conclusion that it will be a net positive experience . Could it turn out that they experience was negative, of course, but it doesn’t make the original conclusion wrong, as it was based on information available at that time...

One can come to quite a lot of conclusions about a product after 2 weeks of ownership. For example, how long do you test drive cars before coming to a conclusion such as whether or not to buy one?

That was the primary reason I stopped looking at the eTron RS GT - I opened the trunk. Then again, I had the exact same reaction to the Taycan sedan, hence had to wait for CT to finally get introduced, then another year and half to find an allocation. I could have had the eTron significantly...

Porsche should patent this new engineering method before some unscrupulous competitor copies them!

It sounds like EV's are not for you. EV's sacrifice weight for instant torque and power response. There are EV's with "chill" mode which limit the torque, but then why bother with an EV - might as well go to a lighter ICE car, unless light cars are not your thing either. I know folks who...

Revenue generation - make it ugly by default, make money on unuglify options.

If you are willing to bet on their demise, it's not hard to short a stock. Call your broker if you don't feel like spending time figuring out how to do it via the broker's website. Of course if you are wrong and they don't sink, it could get expensive (depending on how high they go). So I...

Yea, out of curiosity I looked on their site, they have multiple cars ready to be delivered around here - no wait. Then again, I've also started seeing a lot more new Taycans for sale, even open allocations without waitlists lately, so the whole automotive market is correcting fast (hence recent...

But you might have bought or sold some option thought (technically not a position in lucid stock)? ;)

That is really sad. Makes you wonder how they managed to screw up the entire line of EVSE's and whether or not whatever in their decision making process allowed this to happen can also happen to their car designs. You know what's even sadder, the one and only competitor which has a proprietary...

Any chance you can get me some more details on this? I know engineers at MB working on update and OTA systems and they told me they have specific product requirements to not require real-time internet connection to reflash/diagnose vehicles, since they have dealers throughout the world who don't...

Rigorous in terms of process yes. That doesn't always translate into a more secure design, as sometimes it becomes all about checkmarks, for example: "encryption -> check, we have it, but the process says nothing about key management, revocations, etc, so the implementation can leave a lot of...

Absolutely true, but if you are in marketing, you want to target the majority.
