A whole new car is certainly more expensive. Oops.

LOL. You are comparing a $150,000 car to a $1.5 million dollar car? Not really fair. I’m not defending BMW’s overall business decisions. I disagree with many directions they go.

A large engine and large wheels would make it a completely different vehicle. Heavy. (A v8 weight vs a 1.5l 3cyl). Bigger. (The 3-cyl barely fits). The more I owned it, the more I loved the “compromises” of the design. My living in Maui was always a “temporary” thing. Unknown number of...

Yup. I had an i8. Loved it. 33,000 miles over 4 years. Drove it cross country (big surprise, right?), drove it for a winter in Maine, had it as my only car when I lived on Maui.

It’s October. So I’m sitting outside my dealership as they swap on my winter wheels & tires. Another Taycan is brought out of service and parked nearby. The head service technician, who was driving it, gets out, looks over at me, and says “Good morning, Mr Louv.” Is it a bad sign that the...

Brake really hard to fix it.

If you are trying to log into your brand new car with your PorscheID and it says “your password is wrong” (and you are sure you typed it correctly) then the Dealership has NOT yet transferred the car to you. (In US Dealer parlance: “RDR’d the car”) Don’t bother trying your password again. Wait...

Probably best to start a new thread with all the details. We can debug it there. (It’ll be easier for others to find if ... when they have similar problems)

The old gray one.

Maybe. But not in winter. Although, the TransCanada Highway has better charging than the US.

I’ve probably said too much. You didn’t really believe I drove all the way around the country just for fun, did you?!? Now I’ve definitely said too much. Ok, fine... go watch “The Italian Job”.

The new X5 45e is finally getting the hybrid thing Right. Congrats!

Yes. Same motor as the i3. Same motor as the i3’s predecessor, the ActiveE. Smaller battery pack than the current i3 to allow it to be fitted into the small 2-dr Mini chassis while still retaining rear seats (debatable!) and cargo. The batteries form a T, filling the space under the center...

I picked up a little brother electric. 35% of the battery capacity. 80% the weight. 40% the range. 20% Max charge rate. 25% the price. cute and fun to drive.
