Put me in this camp. Ever since I’ve gone electric I’ve become unimpressed by ICE cars, by and large. I’ll still turn my head for a Boxster Spyder or a GT3, but I just spent an hour last night watching a guy on YouTube break down a 911 Turbo engine, and all I thought was what a complicated and...

Bangle Butts were ugly then and then remain even moreso now. Hideous looking cars.

It did just go over 1000km on a single charge though…

I believe both concept cars. The small roadster is modeled after James Dean's 1955 Spyder "lil bastard." The 960 Turismo was a 2016 concept 4-door GT inspired by the 918 spyder.

A couple of photos from the SXSW exhibit here in Austin (open to the public).

It looks to me like a Buick concept car. Not a fan.

I went M3P to 4S. The Model 3 performance is notably quicker, but real world I think it’s more novelty than usable and the 4S is more than quick enough for me. The M3P is a bit too quick for that chassis - steering feels unstable at times.

I saw one in person the other day, and I was not impressed. Not an objectively good looking car.... looks like somebody stepped on a Honda Odyssey.

Always nice to have reinforcement of your decision..

That’s an ugly car

Wonder why they're investing all this money to create these then? I'm a first-time Porsche buyer, as many Taycan owners are also. While we're in an admittedly weird time for all sort of sales environments, my sales experience has so far been an unmitigated disaster. And when I do go there they...

This makes a ton of sense. I'd love to go to a "Porsche store" to look around and maybe buy some stuff without having to feel awkward as to whether I am or am not about to be approached by a sales rep wondering what I'm doing there and/or dodging cars as they go into the service bay. The...

I could also hit the lottery and say I was a good investor, but that's an argument for another time ;) There's a more than healthy amount of speculation and frothy wackiness inherent in all of it right now - crypto, Tesla, real estate, etc. whatever. I'm no investing genius and there were...

New 2021 BMW M3 Comp does the quarter in 11.6 per C&D - about the same as a Model 3 Performance (11.5s per Motortrend). Model 3P also does it without launch control. You just press the pedal.

No, volume means everything. If your goal is to make the BEST car EVAH, then yeah, popularity is but one measure. If your goal is to lower costs to reduce the entry point, facilitate newer and better battery tech and range and thus encourage the mass adoption of electric cars to help save the...

Are you 15 years old? Grow up.

totally makes sense, and why I sold mine. But for every petrol/gear head there are 10 people who just want to the grocery store and back. This is also my first Porsche. I had hoped it would be a 718 Spyder, but i have small kids, this is a close second and I can’t bear the thought of causing...

The idea that Tesla is some passing fancy and doomed for failure or just another car manufacturer competing with Toyota or VW (or Porsche). I'm not a fanboy at all, but it's not just a car company and its aspirations go far beyond whatever we think of in terms of what we expect from car...

Where I live Model 3s and Model Ys are everywhere. Nobody is buying A4s or 3-series or C-class sedans anymore because for that driver and for that price range, the Teslas are just a superior means to get from A to B. No time at the dealer, no oil changes, no service intervals no loaner cars no...

This is one of the reasons I sold my Model 3. Way too commonplace around here, and that will continue to be the case. In some ways their success could come back to haunt them if they're seen as basic. Still, a great car and could for electronic car adoption.
