    Is it ethical to purchase a lithium battery powered EV? - Article

    EPA EV Facts and Myths can be useful. Anyone that wants to minimally impact the environment should walk or ride a bicycle ;) Anything else is a matter of the best choice, or least evil choice if you prefer. If this were an EV evangelist-type forum there would likely be a lot of discussions...

    Music on Collection Day

    CarPlay worked for me from the time I picked up my car (set it up at the dealer) and continues to work without issue. Had to relog once after an OTA update, but other than that zero issues with CarPlay :)

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

    Very good advice. I plug in my iPhone and put it in the console before each drive and have had very few issues with CarPlay.

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

    This really depends on what you are expecting. I should say that if Porsche wasn't making an EV I probably wouldn't have bought an EV, I would have bought a 911. I've looked at/driven Teslas, and for me personally, they have zero appeal. I'm retired now, but I've worked in the software...

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

    Exactly, I find myself looking for reasons to drive. My wife loves it, especially when I say something like: "Hey, we haven't been to that Sushi place (75 miles away) for a while. Maybe we should drive up there for lunch." We are making a lot more trips like that since I bought the Taycan :)

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

    I agree. Admittedly I've only had my car for 3 weeks and 700 miles but so far the worst thing that has happened is I had to log out and back in to get CarPlay to work after an OTA update. Of course, that isn't something you'd need to worry about with a Tesla ;) I have zero complaints about the...

    GENESIS GV60 -- I have one on order, should I keep it or cancel?

    I actually like the looks of the GV60 much better than any of the Teslas I've looked at. The price is decent and the performance seems reasonable as well. Car and Driver liked it as did Motor1. I really don't see anything to really dislike. I like the interior much better than the Mach-E or the...

    Mustang Mach e GT (v Taycan RWD)

    I've looked at the Mach Es just for fun. I like the exterior and the interior seems very well made. I'm not real fond of the giant iPad glued to the dash, but at least it does have an instrument cluster behind the wheel. A better comparison would be the Mach E versus the Tesla M3s where I...

    Porsche Considering 'Exciting' Joint Projects With Apple

    I actually prefer Apple Maps ;-)

    Mach-E

    Hey, I just realized: Taycan -> Lively young horse; Mustang -> American feral horse, maybe they are related somehow ;)

    Mach-E

    https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/07/success/car-and-driver-ev-of-the-year-ford-mustang-mach-e/index.html I found this interesting. I actually don't mind the looks of the Mach-E. I wouldn't get one in lieu of my Taycan, but I like the looks overall, but not so much the interior and there are pretty...

    If you’re bored sometime - go test drive a Model 3

    Well, without the FSD it is still $61,990, don't forget that Red Paint is a super premium $2k option ?

    If you’re bored sometime - go test drive a Model 3

    It is hidden at the bottom-middle. To see the above there is an up arrow. I've been there before and thought it was kind of cheezy, especially showing the "Gasoline Savings". The above is with Blue paint, two-tone interior, and self-driving.

    If you’re bored sometime - go test drive a Model 3

    Well, from my perspective, who cares. If straight-line acceleration for the cheapest price is someone's goal then they should buy Tesla Performance Models. Of course, that is a fool's game since you can be sure that there will be a new faster version coming soon. IMHO anything under 4.0 0-60...

    If you’re bored sometime - go test drive a Model 3

    Hmm, well, no. I've looked at and ridden in a Model S. Don't like the looks (especially the interior). As for the Tesla Model 3, there isn't anything about the looks (inside or outside) that appeals to me. Being an EV or even straight-line acceleration isn't my primary consideration for a new...

    BMW iX Configurator Live - Spoiler: You Can't Configure Out the Fugly

    Wow, I don't want to upset any BMW folks, but to me, it qualifies as one of the ugliest cars I've seen, Like an escapee from a Transformers movie ;-)
