    Errr, wut? You think Rimac is behind?

    We win again, new record by Turbo S lapping the Nurburgring

    I believe Rimac torched that last week.

    Lamborghini Lanzador EV

    Looks like someone slapped Lambo headlights and bumper on a Maserati.

    Anyone going back to a Tesla?

    Range is more about how/where you drive than anything. I get 225 miles in warm weather, and about 185 in cold weather. Not as bad as OP claims, but pretty dead on the Porsche estimator for my spec.

    Coming from Tesla to Taycan, but worried about charging on road trips.

    Stick with Tesla if fast charging is a key buying decision.

    "Driver of luxury Porsche caught speeding at more than 120mph on leafy Cheshire road" Article

    Pfffft, only 120 and he actually pulled over. Rookie moves.

    BMW i5

    Other than the F90 M5, BMW hasn’t offered a good looking 5 series car since the E39. Just one monstrosity after another.

    Taycan driver wanted after back-to-back hits and run at 3 am in Los Angeles - Video

    Driver clearly drunk. Fuck him. I got crushed by a hit and run drunk driver 20 years ago. Fuck him.

    interesting contrast…Lucid air inventory "deals"

    There’s a Lucid at my golf club. It’s hideous and cheap looking. As if a Russian car company tried to build a Mercedes and missed the mark.

    interesting contrast…Lucid air inventory "deals"

    Depreciation is the decline in value of the car. You can’t use retail value as one input and wholesale in as the other. The true depreciation is the decline in retail value. The fact that you choose to give away 10 percent of your car’s value to the dealer for convenience sake is not...

    interesting contrast…Lucid air inventory "deals"

    But that’s a flawed ‘depreciation’ calculation, because you’re using wholesale trade in price. The retail price is what matters, and that’s 10-15 percent above wholesale. A dealer will sell your car for $90-95k. So the depreciation was about 20 percent. Pretty standard for luxury autos in...

    interesting contrast…Lucid air inventory "deals"

    Totally normal save for the past few years. 10-15% loss on drive off, then 5-10% per year during the first few years. Pretty standard auto depreciation curve.

    Garage Remodeling/Upgrading Feedback.

    Here’s one from the outside. I’m a big fan of carriage doors. GT4 replaced the Spyder, then was sold to pay for my brother’s cancer treatment.

    Garage Remodeling/Upgrading Feedback.

    If you want to go down the rabbit hole, there is an amazing garage thread on Rennlist in the 991 GT3 subforum. It’s called Show Me Your Garage or something like that. Endless ideas. I second earlier recommendation of Race Deck. I’ve done RD Free Flow at three houses now and I love it...

    Taycan GTS vs M5 Competition

    BTW, I was really bummed, because I wanted to love that car. But it’s just fatally flawed. BMW tried to engineer out the understeer associated with AWD and they wound up with a car that steered horribly.

    Taycan GTS vs M5 Competition

    I sold my 2019 F90 M5 when I bought my Taycan. It was hands down THE worst steering car I’ve ever owned. Probably that I’ve ever even driven. There were a lot of positives about that car, like that glorious motor, but the steering was totally wacky. And it wasn’t just me, multiple reviewers...

    Porsche Mission X Electric Hypercar Concept Revealed!

    Love it. Can’t wait to watch the Luddite petrol heads’ heads explode when it’s released and sells out in a nanosecond.

    One week after 6 years in Tesla Model S to Taycan Turbo

    I’ve been saying this for a year and a half, every time someone complains about the fish eye. It’s awesome at seeing laterally when reversing. I love it.

    Porsche Panamera vs Taycan - Test 3 Shoot-Out! | Fifth Gear

    Those are marketing videos on high speed F1 tracks. The video in this thread is a tight, short track. The cars are going to lean more when pushed on such a track.

    Porsche Panamera vs Taycan - Test 3 Shoot-Out! | Fifth Gear

    Are you a professional racing driver? Because the difference between an F1 driver and even a high skill PCA instructor is like the difference in basketball skills between Lebron James and Kevin James.
