    Taycan Turbo S vs. Model S Plaid - really by this much!?

    I agree with everything you wrote, especially your thoughts on the SAAS sales model analogy and that the auto industry is in for a wild ride in the next few years. I also think that Porsche could come out smelling like a rose if the industry goes the way I think it will go. My thoughts are...

    BMW i4 and iX in person

    For sure a different category and not a fair comparison. I was simply commenting on the external styling. I've really enjoyed the two BMWs that I have owned (both from a design and driving perspective) but BMW designers have, IMO, really jumped the shark with the iX design. Hopefully, the iX...

    You make a great point about tesla, they are impressive innovators and we would likely not have the taycan but for tesla proving to the world that EV tech is indeed superior to ICE tech (unless you are into engine noise, exhaust notes, etc.). Going forward, almost every hack automaker will have...

    Tesla Model S price increases to $89,990

    Agree wholeheartedly with your comments -- especially the yoke. The only person that has said anything positive about it is my 14 year old video game addict son, who of course has never actually driven a real car. I would however add to this thread that the likely reason for the large Model S...

    Scared to ask... anyone tempted by Model S Plaid?

    Not tempted at all. Several years ago, when the original MS arrived, I was tempted. Not a bad looking car on the exterior, but the interior looked like a freakish 1970's vintage Pontiac with an iPad taped to the dash. I simply could not overcome that putrid interior and went with a Cadillac...
