Typical story in The Sun Headline: “This car mechanic will never buy an electric car again” Story: “ … the seats were so uncomfortable that after a three hour journey he developed a sore back”

Avantgarde’s posts seem to make sense to me: - overall efficiency more likely to be reflective of Porsche’s more performance orientated setup (more brake use, keeping batteries warmer for better power delivery, etc) rather than motor inefficiency - linear acceleration more likely to be...

Surely depends how the ratios are chosen? If the higher gear is the same ratio as on any other EV then the advantage would be largely restricted to lower speeds. If on the other hand the fact that the Taycan already has a lower gear means the 2nd gear is more optimised to higher speeds then...

I guess trade offs have to be made. Is there any loss of efficiency by using a gearbox - presumably very small losses due to additional friction vs being directly coupled?

Didn’t think about wheels but its single motor was the reason I compared it to the RWD Taycan.

Have just been browsing through Apple News+ and came upon a Car review of an ID7 … Not that interesting in itself but it quoted a range of 384 miles from its 77kWh battery which seemed a lot for a car that weighs 2,172kg per the article. This is equivalent of 5 miles per kWh! Initially I...
