Well yes, if you want to discover the truth, you got to dig in order to go back in time. Not my objective at all. I value the discussion. I only record my experience here and in other threads for others to see a different point of view in the ocean of fanboy nonsense.

That's the problem, when you are only reading T fanboy garbage and not my informative posts: Toyota EV in China on the road! Lexus EV in China on the road!

I can. Every car brand dumping EVs in China on the market, most likely losing money - even Toyota and Lexus. Why? Regulatory requirements. If all these brands with all these EV models were actually competing with T, why are there almost non of them in the US?

That's another interesting point. The i3 debuted as a concept at the 2011 International Motor Show Germany, and production began in September 2013. Everybody in Germany wondered, why BMW suddenly felt compelled to compete with Nissan Leaf??? Then in 2015 not selling well at all in Germany. BMW...

Motor and transmission is completely controlled by a computer in the car. If they want you not to feel transmission at all, they can make this happen, so this is entirely a design decision. Complain to Porsche, ask if they can add an option in the PCM like the sports sound, on/off. Of course...

Proof T came first? This is ridiculous fanboy garbage! Please read my 2 posts. https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/omg-elon-really-does-lie.6448/post-92644 https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/omg-elon-really-does-lie.6448/post-93213 If you don't understand gov regulations and...

I hardly ever drive in sports mode. No need, the car has plenty of power in normal mode. I also sit low enough, so no need to lower the suspension. Really don't see the point in my daily driving. Maybe I am not a worthy sports car customer and should switch to an EQS? :blush:

Never said that! When I installed Windows 3.11, there were no OTA, now any OS you install, the first thing is to get all the latest OTA updates. The more complex software systems get, the more bugs, the more updates. It was coming to cars anyway. Where is the disruption? Whenever T does...

Hmm, cannot agree at all. Even when I do lots of short trips, I do not want to plug in every other day - unless fully automatic and always working! I expect a bit more from a car, so I like range and reduced weight. Why pick the one over the other?

Just more fanboy BS! He was marketing to the fanboys. After all he has to fulfill sales quotas in China and hit CO2 targets in the EU. Go and download the annual report of VW and look at the numbers. Then you will see, that this keeps Diess up at night: "Due to lack of main control chips, FAW...

Really? Considering that the boot space enough and that I don't need a fart app or a browser - my Taycan is better in any aspect, particularly the EV part!

In my regular driving, the car never shifts gear. Even when I do launch control, I can barley feel the shifting. How anybody can describe that as violent is beyond me. :idea: Well, maybe in an RWD it is more noticeable.

Your argument is on this level: When I look out of the window, all I see is skyscrapers. Therefore, China disrupted the building industry and now the whole world is building skyscrapers. Without China, you would still sit in a little wood shed. :giggle: It's just another fanboy lie! We...

None of that I experienced. What are you talking about??? In normal mode and regular driving you never experience any gear shifting. The hill hold works perfectly. My MS90D on the other hand, just rolls back down the hill, which any recup or breaking applied. Shocking!

Don't it look like, that only foreign owned companies are fined and therefore isn't that wishful thinking?

The vast majority is simply indifferent. So this statement is just another one out of the fanboy playbook. :puke: What are the positive contributions? :idea: Unsafe touchscreen everywhere. Yoke steering with crazy overpowered engines. Insanely oversold FSD. Roads are so much safer now. :facepalm:

Only 54.35 kWh battery for 56k USD? Could be good for a local second city car...

Because you want to draw even more attention, when a young rich looking guy crawls out of a - :idea: - 1950 Italian looking cheap old people car? :giggle:

I admire your faith in institutions, despite Boeing MAX. However, a standardized test is useless, if you let the manufacturer perform it. And there is certainly nothing verified! Weren't there even tweets, where our vaporware master showed off, how he reports what he likes to the EPA?

Front surface area is easy, just check the dimensions of the car in the spec sheet and do a little math. That's good enough for a real world range estimate...
