yeah - and hence my thesis…the fact that they are not staffing appropriately and still doing what they've always done _IS_ the key metric that shows they are clueless.

I'd work for an automotive company if they were competitive - I think they desperately need more people that know what they are doing - their unwillingness to pay appropriately is simple more indication that they have no idea what type of war they are waging - and labor cost on the OS for their...

the legacy car guys have no idea what they are doing…their tech is going to suck for quite a long time.

http://www.umc-j1772.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=50 buy 60 amp version if you have standard taycan buy 80 amp version if you have the optional 19.2 kw on board charger upgrade (unlikely) use it where ever tesla chargers are found super chargers are being updated to support...

you can use normal tesla chargers not superchargers no app required - just permission of the business owner it’s just an EVSE like your home unit so no network or activation or billing rate will vary from 4kw to 19.2kw depending on the install at the business hosting the charger you are...

summary: mobile charger - meh - not so much these days in north America - but carry it if you want the safety net. these days it's like a spare tire, and used about as frequently TeslaTap - YES - have one of these with you in the car!!! this is one of the reasons you don't need to carry a...

yep

the new Cayenne according to a PCA monthly newletter "reveal" has a passenger screen with Video Streaming support!!! this could be interesting - I hope Porsche makes a FOD or free software update available to bring the new passenger screen features 'back' to our Taycan's we'll see how this all...

thanks for this analysis - I was just spit balling - in any case I'm hoping we'll have 800 HP EV's that weight 500 lbs less than equivalent ICE vehicle's and it would be awesome - no one knows what cooling requirements would be for the new batteries, so maybe there is savings on packaging and...

https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/coming-ev-batteries-sweep-away-140709581.html it's long been my contention the only problem with EV's is battery weight (but current LiON technology is an acceptable but suboptimal trade off) - and future batteries would drive weight down to below equivalent...

it's all a SCAM - it's not lazy - there are no legitimate uses for Crypto - and the only characteristic of Crypto that is attractive is that it avoids internation/national money laundering laws. I actually know quite a bit about Crypto - and it's 100% a scam...

NFT's like all crypto are a scam and mostly worthless like Elivis collectors plates - It saddens me to see any legitimate company such as Porsche involved.

even if the schedules are the same the costs are _NOT_ there isn't as much to service on an EV - the Cayenne's 30k service can run $2000 - there isn't $2000 of anything that requires routine servicing on any EV - also Porsche's EV services are "inspections" with no real content - my 2 year...

only because they have never had one or the other…both is nirvana. an EV is the BEST NA motor ever…no lag linear throttle response regardless of speed currently traveling at…

h having driven to Alaska this past spring (2022) I noted the continous power lines along side the roads that I was taking - and yet the very very sparce fueling stations that still require visits by fuel trucks to keep the supplied - I would argue - it's not easier to provide gasoline in all...

c current service interval for my Wife's 911 is 1 year or 10,000 miles - same for cayenne - service intervals for Porsche's are annual and over $500, someitme much much more.

industrial grade EV motors have been used in elevators, locomotives, manufacturing for over 100 years…- most of them have MTBF's measured in millions of hours if not 10's of millions - EV motors are not new they are in fact a well understood component with reliability that exceeds the wildest...

note a 120 lbs (current ICE fuel tank full) battery providing Taycan with 660 kWh of power would be well over 2000 miles range and lower Taycan's curb weight from ~5,000 lbs to ~3,500 lbs…vehicle packaging opportunities would be interesting as I'm sure the battery would be much smaller in this...

think of it another way: 20 gallons of fuel at 6 lbs per gallon = 120 lbs one gallon of fuel contains ~33 kWh so 20 gallons = 660 kWh total battery capacity… at current Taycan levels of consumption/efficient - 660 kwh * 2.7 mile/kWh = 1,800 miles of driving range - probably way more due to...
