    Had my first EV experience….(Tesla)

    it grows on you - it still has issues but it grows on you - it also helps if you compare it at 50k out the door to anything else for similar price for 50k…charging/range is less of an issue when charging at home every night - public charging isn't a thing unless you're road tripping. for the...

    My solution - visiting Europe - how to get a rental car that doesn't suck…

    rent a Tesla Model 3 from Hertz - now Tesla has their problems, and no they are not perfect. But in my experience I'll take (and actuallly have taken with this trip) a Model 3 over most _ANY_ normal car - especialy the stuff that you tend to end up with in a rental fleet… I'll let you know...

    Had my first EV experience….(Tesla)

    regen on the Tesla can be "lessned" but not turned off - I"ve also found you get used to it - not unlike the engine braking I experienced with my rental car stick shift in iceland for the past 8 days but to each their own - you have to live with an EV for longer period of time before Tesla's...

    Turmoil at VW: Porsches Postponed by Buggy Software Cost VW’s CEO His Job

    also note VW's software leadership company - can't keep their website functional - this is not a good look for a world class software effort - this will take YEARS to clean up - decades maybe. Not the website - but the overall software approach - but when you see little details like this - and...

    Turmoil at VW: Porsches Postponed by Buggy Software Cost VW’s CEO His Job

    from the Cardid website OMG - they are sooooo doomed - ISO 9001 and software - ROFL - that's supply chain physical component thinking - they are sooooo screwed - Tesla will continue to run circles around them.

    https://apple.news/AQn3WzoruQSC-LYDw4HjVdg Porsche is as good at software as Tesla is at mechanical engineering Tesla is as good at Software as Porsche is at mechnical engineering guess which one will matter more in the future. Porsche makes a great car, but a mediocre EV Tesla makes a great...

    A Taycan Owner Buys a Tesla: Informal Battle of Two (Very Different) EVs!

    +1 no vampire drain for Taycan - it takes weeks/month to even see a single % on the tesla a lot if vampire drain however is sentry mode - if you turn off a lot of the away from vehicle features the vampire drain is still present but less so… my feeling is this will eventually be "normal" - a...

    Track comparison: Tesla Model 3 Performance vs Taycan 4S

    seems pretty spot on to me - Model is 1/2 the price but can do ok on the track - Taycan for 2 or 3x th price definately better - both cars will crap out after about 50 miles of track duty - and you need fast charging at the track. Model 3 has a lot of room for improvement Taycan is settled and...

    A Taycan Owner Buys a Tesla: Informal Battle of Two (Very Different) EVs!

    yes Porsche is struggling with the software angle of vehicles - these days excellent mechanical "manners" are minimum requirement - and software will become more and more important (if it hasn't already) - Porsche has yet to demonstrate mastery in this space and I believe more and more customer...

    A Taycan Owner Buys a Tesla: Informal Battle of Two (Very Different) EVs!

    having owned Tesla's since 2013 this is only true in jest and understates the real value delivered multiple times a years in meaningful software updates that do not require a multi-day dealer visit to provide bug fixes and new functionality. I wouldn't make fun of Tesla's software skills and...
