    Glad to be done with Porsche and Taycan

    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 https://insideevs.com/reviews/443791/ev-range-test-results/

    Glad to be done with Porsche and Taycan

    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

    BMW i7

    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

    BMW i7

    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

    Glad to be done with Porsche and Taycan

    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...

    Would you trade your Taycan for a Rolls-Royce Spectre?

    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

    Would you trade your Taycan for a Rolls-Royce Spectre?

    I was having a debate about cadillac celestiq and how it won't sell because exclusivity is in the brand, not the model. Got to pay to play for the quality and exclusivity. Congratulations!

    Would you trade your Taycan for a Rolls-Royce Spectre?

    I'm a big RR guy and I've been waiting for an RR EV since the Early 2000 when Phantom Series 1 was released, then 102EX. 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...

    Will you test drive the Mercedes EQS?

    I agree its too big and no need for 7 seats. Im starting to really like the ID Buzz though

    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.

    BMW I4 M50 test drive

    BMW has been doing a a fantastic job in modernizing their infotainment UX. Even their website is dazzling

    Audi's Next R8 Will Be an EV Called Rnext

    I'm pretty sure it will share the same platform as the 718 EV I love the release timeline Audi's Next R8 Will Be Called Rnext

    Rivian…

    I like how the R1S looks. This was by their HQ, customer delivery

    Rivian…

    Great write up I know an engineer at Rivian. He explained the suspension was modeled after McLaren (also Rivian hired a ton of McLaren engineers)

    Will you test drive the Mercedes EQS?

    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

    Will you test drive the Mercedes EQS?

    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...

    Will you test drive the Mercedes EQS?

    This makes a great companion to the Taycan, the lines look better than the Sedan. Extremely smooth and a 7 seater.
