    Traveling to Zurich and Zermatt, Switzerland this Summer

    If hanging around Zurich, consider an afternoon trip to Jenins (pic below). It is a quaint little village with a few vineyards and restaurants. Good place to chill with the family. Another place about the same distance as Zermatt from Zurich is Andermatt (where the James Bond movie Goldfinger...

    "Porsche Unveils 11 New Paint to Sample Colors" - Article

    That’s funny, the only time Im not in a black car is when Im being driven somewhere — usually in a freak’n prius uber. ?

    "Porsche Unveils 11 New Paint to Sample Colors" - Article

    Whether black is a color or just the absence of all color is a subject that has been debated for centuries. As a proud member of the Black Taycan Club, I am pleased to report that Porsche has, once and for all, settled the debate by defining "Black" as an "Exterior Color" on the configurator...

    "Porsche Unveils 11 New Paint to Sample Colors" - Article

    I just hope that Porsche does not someday pull a douchebag move (like their pal Elon) and classify black as a PTS color. But I do think it is great that Porsche allows folks with bad taste, i.e. those who prefer a color other than black, to get exactly what they like. ?

    Which EV-related stocks have you invested in?

    Out of my little basket of EV stocks, Nio is the only one that really gives me hope! Worth a look.

    Porsche NFT, anyone?

    What??? My Elvis collector plates are worthless? (Sh*t!) Don't be sad, if people are dumb enough to pay a lot of money for something of no real value, I commend Porsche and others for being smart enough to take their money. Car NFTs are just the logical digital extension of what Porsche is...

    Nio ET5 Touring EV wagon

    Little wonder about the camry. They are now "assembled" in Kentucky by "Pillbillies." Hard to focus on the Toyota Production System when workers are jacked up on crystal meth and Mountain Dew.

    Nio ET5 Touring EV wagon

    I don't mean to insult every model that GM has ever produced (I actually owned a Cadillac ELR which I think was a great car for its time -- pity that they only sold about 3000 of them). For sure, GM, Ford etc. know how to make decent cars, but that...

    Nio ET5 Touring EV wagon

    https://insideevs.com/photo/7442834/avatr-12-the-unveiling-in-munich/ I think that Porsche will be safe, at least for a while, but the likes of Nio and Avatr 12 will cause some serious issues for the likes of Ford and GM. The Chinese EVs are very much tech-forward and doing a great job...

    Garage Remodeling/Upgrading Feedback.

    This is a great thread, and now that I have discovered someone on the forum who has at least studied architecture, I will share my latest OCD garage remodel experience with the hope of finding some advice! For the last 90+ days, I have been googling the sh*t out of the internet looking for some...

    MB EQE SUV vs. Waiting for Macan EV

    You are correct, no frunk in the MB EQE. It does however have a nifty trap door storage compartment underneath the floor in the back. Quite spacious actually -- would have been a perfect place for MB to put a spare tire (but those seem to be completely out of fashion these days). The MB is...

    MB EQE SUV vs. Waiting for Macan EV

    While running my Macan loaner through the car wash today (sorry Porsche, no hand wash for the loaner) look what popped out right behind me, an EQE SUV. The driver said that he worked for MB and was responsible for training dealers on the new tech. He also claimed that the SUV would show up...

    I’m more optimistic about future Porsche products

    Blasphemy! ;) The only physical button that I regularly need to access is the diamond button on the steering wheel when I need to select a new song. I find that all the automatic controls (climate, lighting, etc.) work just fine -- set and forget. Rather than junk up the car with more...

    Thinking of going back to ICE

    Let your imagination run a little wild. In 8-10 years there will likely be some great new battery tech available. Imagine a 911 EV that weighs in at or around 3000 lbs, has a solid state battery that charges in 5 minutes, 400+ mile range, four motors, 1000+hp, lab-grown leather, massive regen...

    Thinking of going back to ICE

    Don’t fantasize about lifetime ownership; you will drop the ICE 911 in a New York minute whenever Porsche unveils the EV 911.

    Does driving a Taycan make one an official EV and/or Porsche brand ambassador?

    You just hit the nail on the head, the best response to an inquisitive, EV-disparaging Wal*Martian is to tell him that you don't know jack crap about EVs and the only reason you bought the Taycan was because Joe Burrow drives one. End of discussion.

    Would you trade your Taycan for a Rolls-Royce Spectre?

    Of course the EV grills are nothing more than vestigial design signatures. Like most industrial designs, form follows function, and folks likes RR historically did an admirable job of marrying the necessary function, i.e. cooling the internal combustion engine, with the form of the car...

    Would you trade your Taycan for a Rolls-Royce Spectre?

    It appears that the same wankers who designed the Jaguar iPace had a hand (no pun intended) in designing the Spectre. One day perhaps they will come to understand that EVs do not need radiators and oversized grills to cool the motors. For sure I would take the Taycan, sans grill, everyday...

    Should I trade in my Taycan 4S for an Aston Martin Vantage? (pics)

    Not to beat a dead horse, but why not chill for a few and snatch up an AM EV in the near future? I think Q would approve.
