Meh. Sounds like ruse to discourage EV sales. And the Senator from Nebraska should be intelligent enough to know the cancelled spendings from the DOGE findings are far more beneficial for the US Treasury than the revenue from this new tax.
Oh, wait...
Yep. From Wikipedia: "The Carrera GT was initially offered with five basic colors: Guards Red, Fayence Yellow, Basalt Black, GT Silver metallic and Seal Grey. Custom colors were later available from the factory."
Picked up my 2022 RWD from the dealership's service department in Chandler, Arizona USA a couple of days ago. The Seal Grey Carrera GT that I saw a week ago was still there, and it was joined by a GT Silver metallic one that has only 780 miles and is for sale for US$2 million.
No prob at all, @WasserGKuehlt . I didn't want to be too prescriptive in the rules. That being said, I think my thoughts are very similar to yours:
-- Casual encounters, e.g. when you're not expecting to see it (so no gatherings or museums);
-- Pictures preferred if snapped safely, e.g. no...
We've seen more Porsches than most folks, so seeing one on the road is not as much of a surprise for us as it is for others. But every now and then we come across a Porsche so rare and/or classic that it grabs our attention. This thread is for those types of encounters. Feel free to post your...

California is the nation's biggest EV market by a wide margin, and the relatively high percentage of battery-powered cars is digging a hole in the state's budget because it relies on...
FWIW these were mandatory in all cars in a Middle Eastern country I used to live in. As soon as our brand new, made-in-USA-but-takes-regular-leaded-gasoline-company-issued Chevrolet Lumina exceeded 120 kph, the dashboard made a very loud and constant beep. I chose not to disable it, but I...
A while back some of my work colleagues compared Corporate PR to seagulls. They flew in, strutted around with their chests puffed out, ate all the food, squawked a lot, crapped all over you, and flew away.
If you have a pillar between your overhead garage doors (like the pillar shown at the very end of @JRNJTAYCAN 's video), consider putting a NEMA 14-50 outlet on the pillar for your EVSE so that cars parked on either side of the pillar can charge.
If you're installing tall garage cabinets along...
Welcome, @Ant18 ! I used Turo to rent a Taycan for a few days and was hooked. Perhaps you could hire one for a couple more days to take a most serious look?
I've met people at the track who swear they'll never go electric because they're absolutely hooked on engine response (sound, torque...
It's a win-win if/when mass-produced -- improved performance with the same kWh and less weight, and more range for the non-Porsche EV drivers who want more battery at today's weight.
"The best or nothing."
I suspect Mercedes was focused on achieving best-in-class aerodynamics for the EQS sedan, which they did: 0.20. The Taycan sedan is 0.22.
Porsche got the looks. Mercedes got the blob.
Add me to the list of groaners. It's like my bank account is a loaf of bread surrounded by hungry pigeons. And if I ever end up paying for a subscription, I expect to pay NOTHING for its repair.
Don't upset the folks you're trying to win over ...
