No, the way hydrogen itself is produced these days is energy-inefficient and far from carbon neutral.

For me: DeTomaso Pantera For my wife: Jaguar F-Pace

Fair points, but I nevertheless welcome economy options for people who want an EV.

Nissan seems to be going the other direction: https://insideevs.com/news/524536/us-nissan-leaf-prices-2022my/

Would you not guess that ultimately there will be a base, S, 4, 4S, GTS, Turbo, and Turbo S, with the base and the S being RWD and the other ones AWD? Maybe there is not enough price room (yet) to squeeze both an S and a 4 between the base and the 4S?

Or maybe both, ultimately?

Maybe the future Taycan S rwd will be a good compromise?

At least noise-wise it is not.

Well, they may indeed not really have invented much, but we have to acknowledge that they were an early adopter which went all-in and took an enormous risk doing so while legacy car manufacturers did not dare to gamble their vested interest in a meaningful way. As such, they validated the EV...

The 911 is the more visceral experience, the Taycan the more rational one.

I drove a 911 4S and a Taycan 4S back-to-back on the Monticello Raceway (NY state) during a Porsche customer event late last year. The 911 was a lot more dramatic, with sounds, shudders, and vibrations, but the Taycan was actually faster. Reminded me a bit of the U2 pilots in their pressurized...

Inflation is hitting home...

I believe the Audi e-tron GT configurator just came online in the US? Did any member of this forum already compare the relative pricing of the e-tron GT with the Taycan in similar performance and options specs? Big difference?

Harrowing tale of a close escape. What if the driver would not have had the body weight or strength to force the door open...

Regardless of gender.

I do indeed think that the words "Leaf" and "Tesla" pluck different strings with people today.

I never owned a Tesla myself (fit and finish did not meet my expectations), so everything is hearsay for me, but would Tesla’s level of software integration and operating system maturity/stability not still be significantly ahead of what Mercedes can offer? Also access to Tesla’s supercharger...

Would the Lucid Air Dream Edition or Grand Touring not be the more obvious competitor/comparator for the Model S Plaid, other than the small practical detail that it is not available yet?

Thanks @W1NGE , I did not know.
