    Tesla Model S Plaid Announcement

    I only saw the abbreviated version of the presentation. Did anyone catch if they announced something about the model Y produced in Germany? Musk said something about an announcement when he visited Giga Berlin few weeks ago. Was that about integrating the battery in the frame of the car by...

    Tesla Model S Plaid Announcement

    And just for my curiosity, I went on the online configurator. It is mind boggling that the options are identical with the model S - which means nearly non-existent. I remember there was a time when the performance 100D model was starting around 130k or so. They made only a tiny fraction of...

    Tesla Model S Plaid Announcement

    Have to give Tesla the edge on battery technology and product integration though. Their efficiency in terms of Wh/mile/kg is excellent. I am sure though others are listening too - and improve their technology. My hope is that by the time my lease expires in 3 years there will be a mid-cycle...

    Tesla Model S Plaid Announcement

    From my perspective, the plaid is just bragging rights and a few racing aficionados. Who in the world needs a 0-60<2 s for a sedan? That together with the lack of a refresh makes me doubtful on the success of the car. I'll stick with my 4S for now, when lease expires will think about a...

    Taycan Turbo S vs Cheetah Stance Model S drag race

    What they will say is that perhaps they did not let the Tesla battery heat up for the absolute peak performance - which I understand could take 30 minutes or so. Of course, you don't have to do that in the Porsche..... All in all, the best electrical cars at this time, both very impressive.

    Lucid Air EV Has a Projected 517 Miles of Range, and We Saw 458 Miles on a Real-World Ride-Along

    I think it depends on several factors. If Lucid was available when I leased the Taycan, of course I would look at it. It is larger and at least from the images / movies fairly luxuriously appointed. It will likely be a very nice grand tourer. From a buyer's perspective, having a brand name...

    Cayenne EV - Dealer Pickup / Delivery Checklist

    I tried the proof of ownership thing, it never went through. Here in US the dealer just submitted in their system that ownership is transferred to me on the day I got the car, it worked instantly.

    Cayenne EV - Dealer Pickup / Delivery Checklist

    Few suggestions to get this started: 1. Have a Porsche ID already created and have Porsche Connect and Charging NA already installed on your phone. If you struggle with small screens on the phone, best to do the Porsche ID on your computer. 2. Resist the temptation to leave early because the...

    Taycan - the "reverse" one-pedal driving. Comparison with Tesla model 3 performance after 1 month.

    I'm driving the 4S, that should tell you which car I prefer. But as much as I love this car, it does not make it faster than the model 3 performance. I don't track my car, so the only comparison I have is the "seat of the pants" sensation. Drive them back to back, you will see what I mean. The...

    Taycan - the "reverse" one-pedal driving. Comparison with Tesla model 3 performance after 1 month.

    So today I took my wife's Tesla for a spin. With the COVID situation my wife is working from home, so the model 3 performance is getting pretty sad in the garage - that and it is not pugged in (the Taycan has now the 14-50 socket), so I went to the local supercharger for a quick top-up. It was...

    Taycan 4S Review and Drag Race Against Tesla P85D - XADER

    I have the same question, also coming from previous Tesla's (P85D, MR RWD, and now my wife's model 3 performance). The dealers here have only one 4S that they want to sell, so they do not allow test drives in it. The fact that P85D and the 4S were close means to me there should not be much of a...
