_FULLY_ OPTIONED the X5 hybrid is less than 100k - and 12 in stock in the SF Bay area

not necessarily - I believe the X5's strenghts will be used more day to day than the superior driving manners of the Cayenne - for around town the two SUv's are equivalent - Cayenne is superior in spirited driving and there is no way the X5 Hybrid would be as good a camera platform on track as...

or the BMW X5 - 95% as good as the Cayenne - but 30-40% cheaper - better software and tech - slight worse driving manners (but still excellent)

fewer if you want a full BEV SUV…but yeah - and more are coming - it will be awkward to have a Macan EV in North American with no supercharger access…issues are piling up…

the problem with VW/Audi/Porsche is not the size of the software team (other than it sound super large) it seems to be a lack of vision - you need to up-end the existing supply chain and modularity of the current vehicle design - smaller more agile more focused teams with a clear vision is the...

https://www.bmwusa.com/vehicles/all-electric/ix/sports-activity-vehicle/overview.html drove that the other day - it's a good EV SUV…nice interior space - if this had been on the market in 2021 might not have my Cayenne Hybrid… excellent build quality will support supercharging in North America...

software will be the undoing of Audi/VW/Porsche - mechanical prowess is no longer sufficient…this is painful to watch…the Macan EV is now almost as delay'd as the cybertruck and Tesla products which are notoriously pre-announced and then delay'd for ever (roadster 2.0 anyone? LOL) wow - simply wow.

update - RS is finally on a boat - it should be here +/- thanksgiving…it appears the saga is coming to an end…finally. gory details in the trip log thread posted on this thread.

world's North America's best mobile EVSE :angry: :facepalm:

I've been thinking more about this - big surprise I know - we all know we have issues with the PMC+/PMCC - but the word "mobile" is part of the actual product _NAME_ and also indicates it's purpose - it's supposed to be a _MOBILE_ charger - which means you can use it anywhere under a variety of...

+100 for this after 30+ years in profession commerical/consumer software space - every problem blockchain/crypto "solves" can be solved (or is already) solved with a much cheaper approach - and decentralized is a lark and holds no water because you still need a source of truth and it needs...

in this case the NFT is effectively a "ticket" for a VIP program and proves my basic assertion - it's an un-necessary complication for something that is well solved - making this an NFT solved _NO PROBLEM_ - it simply consumed un-necessary compute power to do something digitally that could've...

YES, NFT’S ARE A SCAM ★ DappGambl: Shocker. (Via Kevin Drum, who quips: “We all like to think we’ve gotten smarter over the years, but at least the tulip bubble folks ended up with some pretty flowers.”)

given multiple responses - I've been told post #23 from the above link is a pretty good read…for those that are curious.

trust the software the comes from the motorsports side of the equation…it's been run through the ringer - ECU's, transmissions, suspension, battery, cooling, etc… there is no PCM/PorscheLogin/cloud in any of their motorsports products…

"just a matter of software" is the warning sign in this thinking EV's are highly integrated digital software affairs - even though mechanically the battery is "modular" the fact of the matter is there is much software involved in knowing the batteries capabilities and any weight change and...

automotive design cycles are 6-7 years - if this were to be in a MY'2030 vehicle - that would required this technology be "settled" and production scale ready by mid-2024 at the latest (this year would be more typical) the 2030 number is BS unless there is a secret solidstate battery factory...

+1 for this - car's and heavy duty applications will be last to the party - tools, phones, laptops, tablets and such will be first to the party here - there is less at stake cost wise to manufacturers for these devices (no 8 year/100,000 mile warranty on your iPhone)… once we start seeing solid...

all of the "on track" action shots from this car reviews - were shot from my wife's 2021 Cayenne TurboS eHybrid…
