I didn't spend too much time on it because I wanted to focus on the driving dynamics, but I have to say I preferred the Taycans. PCM and AC controls are not pretty graphically, but a stranger can get in the car to figure out how to turn on the heated seats. I had to ask how to do this task. Very...

There are no sexy curves or lines on the car. It looks like it was engineered to optimize efficiency, then aesthetically designed. Designing a car is a very sensual experience. This didn't feel it was designed In that way.

I test drove the Lucid Air Grand Touring for an hour. Overall it's a very nice car. IMO it doesn't compare to a Taycan though. I was impressed by the steering feel, had a good amount of feedback, much better than E-Tron GT. Handling and suspension were good, but it wasn't anything how...

They won't be collector cars like a GT Black Series or even an G63 that can be resold in the secondary market for years to come. They are leased cars like the S Class that will drop hard in Value as time goes

You're correct with the 6 month rush. RS E-Tron GT was $50k over in California for the first 6 months, now they want $10k over, which really means MSRP. Only Mercedes that can possibly justify over MSRP are the low volume AMG variants, not a throw away mass production EV

Its gorgeous, but so was the EQS concept

I think the best option for a luxury, well build EV would be the new Range Rover in 2024. The build, materials put most every car to shame. Having sat in 3 different variants, I was beyond impressed by it. The EQS feels like a skateboard with seats and a few other bits slapped on it. The...

I can't see how any OEM can come close to Porsche in the handling department. The roots and R&D are too deep. It's decades in the DNA

Supposedly it handles close to a Porsche per Motor Trend. Not sure if that's accurate

I was at the EQS pop up store in Santa Monica, around the corner from a Tesla store. More people looking at the EQS were playing with the hyperscreen, secondary was the interior which they were impressed by. For those in the US looking to lease an EQS 580, the terms aren't that...

The driving experience for some is more than 0-60. Again its a lot of bang for the buck, but remove the 0-60, the M3P is a $20k car What would you think of your Bolt did 0-60 in 2.9sec?

1/4 mile is much faster on the Turbo due to the 2 speed tranny. 10.8 vs 11.4. M3P is very quick for sure and a lot of bang for the buck, but most performance cars like the AMGs and BMW M3s are doing low 11s now. Granted they are more expensive, but these numbers were not the case in 2018

Model 3P is quicker than a Taycan Turbo?

If this is the case, do you think it's better if Porsche goes private instead?

I agree with this. The good part of being under VW was the sharing of R&D which would allow Porsche to focus on being exclusive and higher margin, cash cows. I'm certain exclusive manufaktur will be even more prominent for Porsche now, but new models and higher volume will be the target...

It breaks out Porsche from the VW group which means Porsche will need to show growth in more ways.

Is the Porsche IPO a good idea for the brand in the long term? IMO the Ferrari IPO diluted the brand. 12 years of 458 variants, every other week with special editions, now an SUV

1000hp and 3300lbs? I want

RJ is the new and improved Musk for the new cult. Lots of overlap I saw one yesterday. For size reference, my I-Pace and an E-Tron next it. Its pretty big

Not available for the Taycan, but it's nice to see Porsche offering even more options. 8% weight savings, custom fitted to your body, chose how firm you want it. Porsche starts offering 3D-printed seats
