For better or worse, it's definitely the Audi Taycan.
I know many people, including my brother, that love love love Audi. Personally I like the exterior styling but the interiors are too cluttered for me. Carries through here.
The big difference is in handling. I've driven almost every one of...
Looks like Apple is partnering with Kia for their EV venture. Makes a lot of sense. Obviously it seems unlikely that Apple/Kia will look to compete with the sporty luxury segment, probably more of a mid range Polestar/Model 3/Y competitor.
At what point are countries going to have to step in and put limits on the torque available in mass produced cars? These sub 2.5 second EVs are dangerous to everyone. Let's be real, 95% of buyers don't have a damn clue how to drive and you're giving them massive amounts of instant torque on open...
That's certainly what these giant tech companies think "hey, just throw money at it!"
Fortunately that's been proven time and again to be folly in free market countries. The reality is that these giant tech companies only make progress out of their very narrow niches when they buy out companies...
The Mustang GT is just a different class of car. Even the highest track focused variants don't really feel that great handling wise, IMHO, even if they are very adept on a track. This is where people get a little messed up, I think, when they just look at numbers on paper. The higher mustang...
That's really not how being under one parent company works. Audi & Porsche are separate entities and can (and should) be attempting to one-up each other.
Also it's not as though Porsche didn't think about adding a third motor. It increases HP, sure, but at what cost & benefit?
This faster 0-60 time trend needs to stop. It's a crutch many EV manufacturers are using to avoid making cars that drive well & have high quality.
The Lucid Air does 0-60 in 2 seconds!!!!!!! Oh, yeah, so we don't have working brakes on it, we haven't figured out the suspension, it randomly...
I wouldn't say it's ugly as sin but I do think it has that "hey, look at my hipster EV" thing that Tesla's have while somehow still looking a little generic/soccer parent esque.
Just personal taste, though. I personally wouldn't buy one regardless of quality because of the looks (and I'm not...
Not very excited about any of the stuff released today. The configurator doesn't really seem to work on my phone so that's unnerving.
They REALLY seem to be banking on the extra range being worth.. uh.. everything. Outside of the range numbers the car seems pretty meh to me, just kind of ideas...
I find it very hard to believe they'll be successful but I really hope I'm wrong.
I have so far found the Air to be too similar to the competition to stand out. I doubt it's range numbers stack up to real world use, literally every company exaggerates their EVs range, and it's stuck on the same...
Ohh, I like the info!
That makes sense. I can see the "car reversing into the road scenario" which would also explain trying to jump back into your own lane so quickly.
I watched the Model 3 video and it's a little funny that they're comparing them. In that video he has regen on high and is...
I wonder, is the way they operate the test really an accurate representation? Shouldn't they have the driver brake hard for an instant and then navigate the test? Is anyone ever going to see a moose or something run out infront of them and not instantaneously brake before evading?
Testing in...
