This isn't really the place for us to hash out media bias, not that we could if we wanted to, so I won't take your bait. Just pointing out that, in this particular case, it is reasonable to question the intentions of an unabashedly conservative newspaper when it comes to matters like electric...

Articles like this allow people who don't want to think very hard to sort of resign themselves that there's not much they can do... oh well... even though it's hotter than hell outside and there's wildfires and hurricanes everywhere and I've got this cognitive dissonance in my brain because I'm...

They may slow down its rapid destruction, though. No sense in throwing out the good because it's not perfect.

It's about technology and infrastructure. Yes, today they don't want an EV... because they're worried about range and charging times, etc. Solve those problems (and they will be solved... with time and scale) and EVs are a no-brainer because they are objectively superior and more efficient...

Not to get too political, but it's one thing for Americans to buy products from American companies that are made in China and quite another to get them to buy Chinese cars when there are viable alternatives. It's not exactly cold war levels of antipathy, but we could well get there soon.

Once you’ve driven the car for a while and acclimated to the wider and longer dimensions, it doesn’t feel so big anymore because it handles and steers so well.

Renting a car in the US is a mess right now. While I was at the counter a guy returned his car because the registration was past due. I got pulled over by the cops for a broken brake light because the car they gave me (I reserved a minivan and got an Explorer from a different/sister company...

every purchase of an EV promotes the mass adoption of EVs. The mass adoption of EVs will have a marked impact on the environment. Your cynicism will not.

All I have to offer is ya know - what existed before mass adoption of the Tesla Model S and what has happened since. But you can’t disprove an alternate history that didn’t exist other than hypothetically.

This is a false logic. Buying an EV to replace an ICE vehicle, even if it created more waste or inefficiency on a short term, net basis, is a long term net gain. It provides confidences in the medium and requires a build out of the infrastructure necessary for mass adoption. As a “car guy” i was...

I hear you… but we all said the same about Ferrari and Lamborghini before they got into SUVs. Where there’s money to be made, there’s a way.

There's a huge market opportunity for Porsche in the US for a 3 row bigger SUV. Lots of profit being lost to the GLS and X7, especially if they can price it properly. Even the new Range Rover is offering 3 rows and proper seating for 7. So much carpooling goes on here... as much as I hate to...

You’ll get no argument from me. My Taycan is worth 3x what my MP3 meant to me, despite only costing 2x. A much, much better automobile in everything other than software.

Dunno what to tell you. Car and Driver had: M3P: 0-60 in 3.1 and 11.6 1/4 Taycan 4S: 0-60 in 3.4 and 11.7 1/4 mile https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a36329678/2019-tesla-model-3-performance-by-the-numbers/...

Apples and oranges. The MP3 is quicker off the line than the 4S, but it’s no turbo or turbo s.

Noticeably quicker in a straight line drag. The Model 3 performance smokes the Taycan 4S in a 1/4 mile race. I’ve owned both - trust me it’s not close.

Having owned both, they sound spot on to me. The Tesla Model 3 performance is a very track-capable car and noticeably quicker than the 4S, but the Taycan is just a much, much nicer car, faster at high speeds and, as they noted, worth the price difference.

I bought an EV because I wanted to play a small role in promoting their adoption and because it’s a better mode of transportation for my daily needs than ICE cars. I bought a Taycan because it’s the best driving EV. After driving an EV for 3 years, the idea of going back to a machine that must...

“The organization rejects the scientific consensus on climate change.” I think you need to recognize the agenda here…

Was looking at this picture on the MyPorsche page, and the first thing I thought was: "Who is this monster and what must be doing to those side bolsters? Those creases will never come out. "
