I think you’re focusing too much on whether or not there’s an issue with it and existing. I don’t generally mind features existing and being locked behind a price. I don’t mind a subscription model being an option of someone for someone to choose. What if I don’t like is a subscription being the...

I maintain my position. ?

Locked batteries are probably one of the few “locked” features I would complain about because now you’re carrying extra weight with no benefit. I’d just prefer a smaller battery vs a bigger battery that’s locked.

Doesn’t seem like an apples to apples comparison to me. The article is saying $1200 for a 20-24% increase in output (I assume power) and a reduction of 0.8-0.9 sec in 0-60. This is about the difference between a CT4 and CT4S which carries an MSRP difference If around $15k. That may include...

I’m not understanding of either. You don’t pay an ongoing cost for the initial warranty so it’s hard to argue that it’s necessary and can’t be rolled in to the “purchase” price of the feature.

I made the distinction in my first comment about what was and was not acceptable by considering on-going cost being okay where you are paying for services.

I don’t have an issue with paying to unlock it. I have an issue if the only option is an ongoing subscription with no option to just purchase.

FaaS is already taken by “Functions as a Service” for things like AWS Lambda. ? If something is legitimately a service, like the company that mows my lawn, or Netflix, or serverless computing, then a subscription model makes perfect sense. And there is definitely software that falls into this...

So, you put money down early, the specs changed from concept car to production, you bought it anyway, and then got mad that it was the production specs instead of the concept specs? Hmm. I put a deposit down in 2018 also. But then I looked at what I was actually buying. Maybe you aren’t...

Maybe OP should have bought a Mission E then. ?‍♂️

That’s fine, but I wouldn’t buy a car for its backup camera. I don’t use the Porsche EVSE other than as an emergency backup.

Keep in mind some of us rarely if ever experience issues. The backup camera is about the only thing I really don’t like and that’s minor. And I don’t really have any fear about my house burning down.

While there are certainly people who regret their purchase, I think they’re in the minority. I wouldn’t worry too much. https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/taycan-owners-how-happy-with-purchase.5843/ https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/would-you-buy-your-taycan-again.9469/page-11

Current top speed maxes out motor rpm. They’d need different overall gearing (to increase max speed within motor limits) and more HP (to keep low end accel). Or motor with proportionally higher max rpm. One of the things listed above. Only so many ways to do this.

Not really if it’s specifically looking at legacy auto and percent of electric sales relative to their overall sales. Tesla’s number would be pretty uninteresting. 100%. Same for Rivian, Lucid, etc. The scope tells us how quickly legacy automakers are transitioning. Tesla is irrelevant to the...

Is 150 vs 350 really that big of a time difference though?

Sprung for the rims in body color too. And lightweight bucket seats.

Oh. I see. Sorry. Sometimes something is so dumb I miss it.
