rick, my friend, this is called projection. Insults are not arguments. Prove your point with facts and logic please.

I don’t see an issue. I think we will see different battery sizes, motor choices/efficiency/power, and different ranges based on application. Ford 150L will need much larger battery to haul load for more than 100 miles, Lucid is a “grand tourer” so priority is range, but Taycan is still the...

or just set a departure time? I am not sure what “automatic” pre conditioning means.

Ok I am NOT being snarky but I expect the Taycan Turbo and GT RS to be the same. There is a * SLIGHT * weight differential due to the…ahem…driver between the two cars that may explain it.

Ah typical Tesla fanboy, if you don’t just fall over and swoon you are a hater. Then I really have issues my friend. I hate Teslas and I own one. I am very conflicted. I own a 3 digital VIN Tesla Roadster. None of what you said above is Really correct. VW and no other car maker honestly cares...

I do not see your logic there. Tesla has been a leader in EVs, was early in making nicer EVs, and has sold and gotten quite a few on the road. But they did not create the EV, not the technology. Nor have they really “revolutionized” anything. Other car makers have had EV platforms longer, they...

Well, honestly this is a "self made crises." I am REALLY tempted to drive up to the gas stations in my EVs, with a big tank in the back, and just buy a ton of gas just to make a point to the people who are panic buying. Sheesh! Repeat after me: there is no shortage of gas, just shortage of...

Well there is definitely the “preference” factor and that is personal. But the Roadster is vaporware. It doesn’t exist. If I put down a deposit on a car that is going into a fixed production date, or I am in a que that is one thing. But the Roadster with a 200 KWHr battery is NOT a track car. I...

I have seen reports that the Porsche TTS numbers of 2.6 to 60 is without rollout, and someone computed 2.4 with rollout if I am correct. And honestly from Everything I have read Porsche seems to UNDER report the times for their cars, that instrumented runs match or exceed them. Tesla on the...

Absolutely, that is why I own 5 EVs, get my entire electricity supply from wind. Yeah that is why I am asking these same OBVIOUS question. You and i can get together and burn stuff for no reason whatsoever…

Is that before or after I buy a bridge from Elon Musk in NY/NJ? Honestly I just don’t get it, does he have some kind of magic mind bending drug I have failed to use yet?

The Tesla Roadster, it is the future and always will be! (Bad joke about whether and when it will actually come out, I can’t believe people have put down a $50k deposit on that thing).

Well, I also think its a little bit of (ahem ahem) "insecurity" on someone's part once the Taycan was available. So he may have started using a "special" measuring stick to feel better about his "performance."

Just my opinion here but NO. NO NO NO NO. I mean it is a DIFFERENT kind of ugly yes. But I actually gasped slightly when I saw that picture. I am sure they did a lot of market research, no doubt. I guess I am not in the center lane of their future customers.

As a very early i8 owner I for one am saddened how far BMW has regressed from the revolutionary ideas and lead they showed 8 years ago to....this. I'm sorry but this is just a reduction in design that is now dated and nothing innovative other than a BMW logo. The i3 for all its flaws was still...

This bit of misinformation keeps popping up. This was and is a PR stunt and no one every took it seriously. https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a35030461/why-other-car-companies-dont-use-tesla-superchargers/

Great post. I am honestly pro Tesla conceptually (heck I own a Roadster). But between the fanboy-ism, Musks hype and vaporware, and cars that don't live up to that hype (including pushing batteries and motors, etc) its more negative to me than positive. Hate to say it but its one of the two...

This may be true. But my main issue is the technical hype and misinformation. All car companies use marketing. Telling someone this is the ‘best handling xyz in its class,’ even if it is not usually doesn’t potentially risk lives. But marketing driving assistance technologies that are AT BEST as...

You may be absolutely correct about BMW. I am also not a “natural” BMW customer. I only became one because of the i8 and the i3 (well I did have the M Roadster but honestly I ended up selling it very few miles). The i8 was a demonstration car, it was really not meant to be produced. I think it...

It was quite desirable, but to a particular set of people (raises hand). For them to make it an M or faster it would require bigger battery, bigger electric motor, and probably six cylinder. All that meant more weight, less balance, and less nimble. They always were clear about the philosophy...
