Well, what is there to license? We know that the weight of an EV is not determined by the engine. The efficiency of an electric motor is anywhere between 93% and 97% (over 99% in very large motors). There are plenty of suppliers (Mahle, ZF, Continental, etc) producing motors for EVs without...

That would be 13 kWh/100km? In what situation? When I do my chilled driving, I almost get the same.

All these EVs are so efficient. On the other side, we know EPA numbers are garbage. They do not follow a standardized and verified test protocol. Therefore, the range numbers above are meaningless. I need to know battery net capacity drag co-efficient weight tire size Then practical range is...

Well, it's smart. Cosy up to the T fanboys for show, but when he is back in the office, he looks at the numbers and worries about chip shortage and about how to compete in the Chinese market - his money printing press.

Interesting - and exactly where Porsche wants to be: Buy the Gucci, wear the Prada, drive the Porsche! :cool:

I kind of totally ignored this thread, not interested in racing. But when you look at it like this with the EV headlights design and reading, that Porsche is practicing for the electric version of the 911... :idea: Well that could be exciting indeed!

Why are people so fascinated by acceleration? In over a year, I never floored my Taycan in regular traffic. Maybe I am getting old, but it has no real life application in a car, doesn't it? ?‍♂️

Don't worry most of this dumb fanboys look very stupid, when EVs like this come to the streets:

And this is still an US view. In 2017 "The average auction price for a car license plate in Shenzhen, Guangdong province has hit another new high at CNY95,000 (USD14,500), taking it past Shanghai's to become China's most expensive." If you were to buy an EV at that time, there was no auction...

After I send my post, I realized, that I missed to tell the full story, so somebody not living in China for the past 20 years may not be able to connect the dots. About 12 years ago, I flew in from Paris into Shanghai. Had to change airport for connecting flights. As soon as the airport door...

Totally agree, but who knows what the battery future brings. Making super efficient EVs (everybody now has to more or less copy them) could be a real sales argument for many years to come.

Compare to EQS just 9cm less between the wheels and still almost 5m long, so not exactly a baby? :)

Yes, I want to see and test drive both of them as our second family EV! My Taycan stays we me, of course!!! :whew:

The more I see it, the more I get used to the idea. There is a chance, that I really like it. EQE compare to EQS has for sure much nicer proportions overall. For some reason, it looks to me like a very modern sleek stylish Audi! :headbang:

I am already done with that since I got my Taycan. I am looking forward to get one, so I can be done with T. :whew:

Well, all you need is an EQ with its high-tech noise insulation and this problem is solved! ;)

Well, repeating it more often does not make it true! Porsche came out first with the Taycan because Porsche has no production (no joint venture partner) in China. China is by far their most profitable market. I spent 1.4m RMB for a regular optioned 4S+ which is about 220k USD. The Chinese market...

That's a fanboy lie, the disruption came from somewhere else!

That's for sure another pipe dream: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/23/elon-musk-says-tesla-fsd-beta-9point2-software-is-not-great.html Meanwhile at the NTSB: "The nation’s new chief accident investigator wants to send a message: Growing public confusion over automated driving systems in the U.S...

Wow, even the license plate looks super vintage!
