    taycan replacement

    If you are going to lease, there are some really good deals on EVs. If you shop it really hard, there are Etron GTs under $1000 a month. EQE AMG 53 is a really fun car, the standard EQE is really cheap inside. As far as Lucid, I was at a showroom and saw the internal inventory list. There...

    Tesla Model S Plaid TRACK PACKAGE vs Taycan Turbo S vs RS e-Tron GT

    CF wrapped motor has been around for a while. It's expensive and there are more effective methods. Look at Lucids motors. Someone I know in the EV motor development space was telling me Mercedes Benz has developed a 150k rpm motor for EVs. There are more high performance motors coming to the...

    Tesla Model S Plaid TRACK PACKAGE vs Taycan Turbo S vs RS e-Tron GT

    When you just add 1020hp to a 2011 car with no other R&D. TL;DR due to negative camber, tires wear out after 5k miles which you can't see unless you remove the wheel. Comments section tells stories of tire blow outs while driving. Also $20k track pack should be standard for safety...

    Lucid Sapphire by Savage Geese

    There really isn't any tech knowledge to bring. Telsa batteries are Panasonic, nothing special about the motors. The Lucids motors are the smallest, lightest, highest horsepower, most efficient of any OEM. The CEO is the person that spearheaded the Model S

    Lucid Sapphire by Savage Geese

    It was a very informative and technical video. You make a good point on the transitional braking etc. The nontraditional approach was by design for all of Lucids variants with performance being the key factor. When I drove the Air Dream I wasn't a big fan of it, but hopefully the Sapphire...

    I like how it looks, but I dont love it like the Taycan. There are some cars that performance wouldn't matter, I just couldn't do it. Sapphire inst one of them

    Lucid Sapphire by Savage Geese

    Aesthetics aside the car is designed by real car people. I know the team benchmarked the GT3RS, suspension of McLaren. EVs are making ungodly amounts of horse power for much less than an ICE. Tire technology is very appealing. PS4S center with Cup 2s compound on the outer shoulders With...

    Tesla Price Drop

    I'm sure you looked over the latest 10-Q to see factory outputs and utilization for Berlin and Austin? These are newly built factories so what is being upgrading? They only build 1 car in those factories, the Model Y and few hand made Cybertrucks in Austin. Your FSD is Level 2, not even Level...

    Tesla Price Drop

    Full self driving is not real and has very little subscribers. Part of self driving is the Robotaxi fleet. The reason you can't buy out a Tesla lease is because part of the ABS covenants states the returned cars will be part of the Robotaxi fleet. There is no money in buying wholesale...

    Tesla Price Drop

    Other than a niche group like Taycan owners, EVs are a subsidy and regulatory play. Majority of people are not going to spend more for a car that has limited capabilities (range and refueling) The biggest EV market in the world, China is fueled by subsidies, EU is forcing EVs by slowly banning...

    Tesla Price Drop

    Who would buy a Tesla now? It drops in price every 2 weeks. I'm sure a 1000hp Plaid will be $70k by the end of this year

    Lamborghini Lanzador EV

    High probability of PPE. Lamborghini is going to significantly increase production with these VAG SUV variants

    They ended up doing a Lamborghini Purosangue.

    Lamborghini Lanzador EV

    Same. I wonder if it's on the PPE platform or the J1. Not sure the benefit of this form factor for Lamborghini as an EV. I would be interested in seeing this in person though

    I'm interested in the battery tech and if Rimac had any part of it. Hopefully it has this same Battery setup for better weight distribution like the Rimac

    Aston Martin, Lucid Motors Strike Deal for EV Powertrains

    This would be great for Aston Martin and would put the brand on the radar for me. Lucid makes the best EV drivetrains on the market. Having AMs design and build with Lucid technology would be the perfect combination Aston Martin, Lucid Motors Strike Deal for EV Powertrains

    1st car I'd consider trading the Taycan for…

    Hopefully there is even more integration between Rimac and Koenigsegg
