I've never met anyone that got close to the EPA rating of their Telsa
Here is a good report for EPA ratings. Porsche out performed EPA

WLTP is overly optimistic, EPA under promises.
Unless you're Tesla that promotes unreasonable EPA ratings that are never achieved and ruins the publics perception of what range should be
Think China.
Large grills, obnoxious lighting, overuse of screens, rear seat focus
I wish It was on a dedicated BEV platform, but I like better than the EQS. Nothing else in the luxury saloon space is interesting
Not the same category of car as Taycan, but really neat features and a tech.
I see it as the one level under the RR Ghost.
The rear seating is beautiful
There is a Porsche brand tax that placed on their cars and you have to suspend the concept of "value".
The Taycan is the best EV out there, but you have to pay that tax.
You can't compare feature to feature with other OEMs.
On a spreadsheet a Model S and the Lucid are far superior and...
BMW technology, R&D, management. RR is the brand marketing, as time goes the RR design trickles down to BMW.
Classic German OEM blue print. The Russian Doll design

RR needed to be an EV.
A few observations:
RR is a BMW, lovingly called the 11 series by RR execs. Now they are making the grills on the Rolls smaller and 7 series even...
On another note, when so many 1000+ HP EVs will be coming online in the future, what is the benefit of buying a Bugatti?
Eventually Ricmac will stick their propulsion system into the Bugatti anyway
You're very fortunate to have driven this.
The performance of the car it's incredible, but I don't like anything about the exterior/interior.
Very exciting automotive company. Rimacs benefit is the R&D that will trickle down into future Porsches EVs.
I heard nothing negative about the software. It's really snappy and just a beautiful interface. Everyone loves the screen so much they ignore the rest of the interior.
The biggest wow factors are the screen and the ambient lighting. It's dazzling
This one is built in the US and it's definitely a US centric car.
The handling was actually pretty good. I was talking to a Taycan owner that I asked him to take the back seat with his son.
I took the a few turns at high speeds, tried to kick the back out. Body roll was there, but I was...
