Your average speed seems to be higher than most of us in the 3+ mi/kWh range. That would explain it, I guess.

I am not (yet) looking for a Lucid Air- or Mercedes EQS-type vehicle, but the EQS seems to have a very good range too. Edmunds tested the EQS 450+ to have a 442 miles range (vs. its EPA rating of 350 miles). https://insideevs.com/news/547726/mercedes-eqs-edmunds-range-test/

Mine 3.8 over 4800 miles.

Not really. Love the promised range/efficiency and love that there is some more competition for Tesla, but the exterior design is not very appealing. I saw one live in the Brickell/Miami Lucid showroom half a year ago and was thoroughly underwhelmed. It came across as old-fashioned, which is...

True: new workers will enter new industries. Not all of the old ones will be able to re-skill or retire comfortably, though. It is the logic of progress.

Indeed, but it is even more impactful if one looks at this as part of the overall shift from fossil fuels-based energy generation to sustainable energy. It is inevitable, but a generation of wrong-skilled workers risks getting crushed in the transition.

I have no clue, actually. One thing Porsche could do to avoid a BEV Panamera to be too much of a Taycan clone is to make its interior bigger (which should be feasible with electric propulsion) while keeping the same overall vehicle length so that its rear seats and cargo space would become...

Has there been any communication from Porsche that it plans to launch a BEV version of the Panamera anytime soon? A BEV Panamera seems to be rather close (dimension- and concept-wise) to the BEV Taycan to have both in the Porsche model line-up.

@chrisk , thanks for the update. Much appreciated. It helps us keeping our horizon wide enough. My wife wants a new car and decided to go electric. She prefers a somewhat smaller but well-built AWD car. Since the Macan EV will only be delivered by 2023, we started looking around for cars...

Thank you @chrisk for your many well-appreciated contributions to this forum. Enjoy your new car and we are all looking forward to your quarterly updates of your ownership experience.

The BMW School of Ugly Noses seems to have gained a promising student. Thanks for posting. No Red Flag for me.

Thank you for your clear and helpful report.

The right design can make something look slimmer than it is.

Minor detail :)

The Taycan operates in a different arena. If you want or need a somewhat roomy sedan, an electro-718 will not perform for you, even if it would accelerate faster. 718-vs-911 is a more interesting match-up as both are compact two-door sports cars. If Porsche wants to stick with the rumored...
