I did not provide the equipment - the CarHoney guys came fully equipped - they spent the morning before track open suctioning the equipment on to the vehicle…
pushing hard? a bit yeah - but also mindful of the fact that we were filming and not racing - so my job was to place the car in front of...
hmmm - wonder what platform it's on - 2026 production - I'm not holding my breath - all in all not my thing…but good to see the hype.
will the PMC+/PMCC still overheat - and what is it's max charge rate and battery taper curve?
news keeps giving us gifts today…

the ride and creature comforts are world class - and the performance is amazing - it's a LUX SUV that can take you and other couple to dinner - but you can also rig it up as a camera platform and use it to film car reviews @ private track days
very few SUV's could've done what the Cayenne did...
LOL it was the only thing remotely close to the acceleration I had come to enjoy with the P100D - EV drive trains "spoil" you and can't simply go back to anemic ICE drive trains - but as we all know in practice - on paper is one thing but actual performance of ICE vehicle's tends to be less...
I owned 2 Model x's
2016 Model X P90D - vin #254 off the assembly line - lemon'd by Tesla 9 months later
2017 Model X P100D - drove it until warranty was up - good SUV - crazy quick, mostly functional - but our model lacked the 2nd row folding seats but had the 3rd row - no real issues other...
skipping BMW until they announce supercharger support (as well as other EV vendors for north america)
my next EV vendor needs to function with a reliable and well regarded fast charging network - it doesn't have to be "the supercharger network" - but I see no alternatives - but I'm open to a...
100% honest - as a father for 3 children -now grown - but when I was doing the car seat thing - the _BEST_ vehicle I ever experienced for "father hood" and family is this…

consider mercedes eqs
not tesla
supercharger access in 2024 and beyond
crazy excellent range - 375 miles real world based on recent testing
faster charging when EA works
german quality
I’d have an eqs over an X all day long
mercedes infotainment tech is pretty good
interior quality is...
saying Tesla's sofware is like an iPad is like saying the iPhone lacks a physical keybaord - both are accurate statements but rather miss the point - until you've lived with it - and it's not the direct software, it's a series of small "touches" and constant refinement that make Tesla's software...
back in Taycan today after trip…8 days exclusively in a Model Y - returning to my normal…
OMG the seats are sooooo much better
quiet cabin - where is all the road noise and wind noise? Oh yeah - Taycan is vastly better for road noise/wind
ample power - perhaps a bit smoother than Tesla's...
I came away from my week long trip with the following feeling…
supecharger's enable EV ownership and travel - supercharging is enabling
EA punishes EV ownership and travel - EA is punitive
I'm starting to wonder if it's on purpose…
when traveling these days if possible I rent a model 3 - it's better than 98% of what you're going to get as a rental - I agree 100% with your comments.
Cayenne for this trip had insufficient cargo capacity vs the Y - it would however have been vastly more comfortable trip in the cayenne if not for the cargo requirements
