You missed Teslas innovations in your response.

What's more technologically impressive? increased HP on a motor that can't handle it, hence the 170mph limiter, or 800v architecture, 270kw charging, 270kw regen, rear steering, 2 speed transmission? After the release of the Model S in 2012 which was light years ahead of anyone, Tesla has only...

I have a Bolt EV that I love. I paid $5500, 1 pay for a 36/10k lease. The car isn't worth a penny more than that. It's $12k toy with a slick drive train. It surprisingly has a very nice fit/finish, gets 4.8mi/kWh so it's one of the most efficient EVs on the road. If the Bolt had 1020hp, did...

I've been driving EVs for 20 years, been through all the growing pains, driven just about every one. I've helped sell many Teslas and other EVs. When anyone is looking to get an EV, I tell them to remove the drive train, then ask yourself what you think about the machine . We are all heavily...

Playing devils advocate. What made you initially get the Turbo S over a Turbo or 4S?

Exactly my thoughts. The overall benefit will spill into the E-GMP platform that their EVs will use. Luc Donckerwolke is the head of design (even though I didn't like what he did at Lamborghini). The current Genesis line is sexy and the concept designs are even better.

No surprise, but it finally happened. IMO Bugatti was becoming less relevant as it was part of the R&D component for the VW group. With a 45% ownership in this venture, it's even better news for Porsches electrification future with even more EV R&D coming from Rimac. For the lower cost mass...

Tesla uses Panasonics outdated batteries, not their own. Now they are working with CATL to source LFP batteries like everyone else. That 23,000 rpm motor can't go 200mph because of tires? I wonder how the F40 did 200mph in 1988 Only advantage Tesla has is infotainment and mobile app.

There are theoretical limits you can push these LI ion batteries and we are there. Something has to give when you're pushing for a higher Mi/kWh. Teslas "advantage" comes at a steep price as you see with the fires & reliability. Battery technology was always being developed, not just for cars...

Another reason they reduced charging speeds from 350kw and that is one car. Porsche will issue a recall as needed, Hyundai & GM did instead of Service bulletins like Tesla because they don't want bad PR.

EQS63 is the one that looks more appealing, supposed to be 750hp

Not properly testing the 25 cars for headlines to boost the stock price, has it's drawbacks. https://electrek.co/2021/06/30/tesla-model-s-plaid-caught-fire-strange-circumstances/ Tesla Model S Plaid that Caught Fire Almost Trapped His Owner Inside - autoevolution

You're clearly a Tesla shareholder/Shill that comes here to make sure Tesla doesn't lose a single car sale. The Plaid is 1020hp, it's going to be very fast. The tire excuse for it not to hit 200mph is laughable. We will see if the Plaid has the same stellar reliability as the rest of Teslas

Only reason 0.3 matters is if you're at a red light and the car next to you is that much faster. For some, speed is relative to the car you're trying to beat and it's never fast enough. A car is an emotional experience, a bond of human and machine. 0-60 is a very small component of that...

I'm looking to get a Turbo or RS E-Tron so I like both cars. The E-Tron will be in US showrooms by mid July which I want to drive as well. I'm not a Porsche guy at all, but the Taycan did it for me. The visibility of the hood with the wheel arches are incredible. The way the Taycan handles...

Can we close this thread now? Tesla Model S Plaid Hits 60 MPH In 2.59 Seconds Measured By Dragy https://insideevs.com/news/515922/tesla-models-plaid-acceleration-public/

There is no skill required to launch an EV. Taycan Turbo is .1 faster by design. The suspension is a perfect blend of luxury and performance. Screens in Taycan are superior. Taycan front is one of the sexiest out there.

The GT2 RS is no joke.

Nice R&D for future Porsche vehicles

As expected the RS E-Tron is going to be a tad slower than the Taycan Turbo. That German engineered 2 speed transmission shows up on the rolling starts. I would love to have seen a Turbo S in this race
