given Porsche's recent facination with pricing themselves out of competition and their general lack of enthusiasm for things EV…this could be a replacment for my Cayenne Hybrid in 2026/2027…and I hate the Lucid Air - but bring me Lucid Saphire driving dynamic's with SUV class space (120...

https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/2024/products/porsche-cayenne-drivetrain-product-strategy-36924.html but will sell current and retooled ICE Cayenne/Hybrid along side new Cayenne - just like Macan EV should be fun to watch!

https://www.motortrend.com/features/tesla-model-s-code-software-design-craig-carlson-interview/ all I can say is "yep" - and most of the industry still doesn't understand over a decade later…

I hate the cyber truck - but once again Tesla is pushing boundaries and will probably "leak" into other product and the industry at large some of the building blocks of this truck are more interesting than the truck itself - 800V (like Taycan), steering by wire, safety considerations...

I’m a long time EV owners (since 2011) - former Tesla victim/customer - avid EV road warrior and deeply experienced EV road trip participant…I’m writing this up from some perspectives from a current (ongoing trip) from the SF Bay area to Friday Harbor, WA and back - currently at Burlington but...

now just do a full EV version…and we're there.

https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/rivian-acquires-route-planning-app-191327295.html we'll see where this goes…

I'm under the impression in North America you still have to wait to get a Taycan and sales are good… but apparently they are not so much for Lucid (which is a car I simply don't understand or desire) they are having a sale - 1% financing if you'll purchase an inventory model…...

the new Cayenne according to a PCA monthly newletter "reveal" has a passenger screen with Video Streaming support!!! this could be interesting - I hope Porsche makes a FOD or free software update available to bring the new passenger screen features 'back' to our Taycan's we'll see how this all...

https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/coming-ev-batteries-sweep-away-140709581.html it's long been my contention the only problem with EV's is battery weight (but current LiON technology is an acceptable but suboptimal trade off) - and future batteries would drive weight down to below equivalent...

Dec. 22, 2023 - UPDATE - we have a RECALL folks!! - details here - new power supply cables mid-2024 - https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/recall-power-outlet-may-cause-charging-cable-to-overheat-20-24-apb6-december-13-2023.18185 I'm tried of collecting all these threads over and over and...

while at the dealership this morning I had some time to kill. Sales manager knows I'm an EV guys - walked me over to a Lucid Air and handed me the keys and suggested I check it while they dealt with some paperwork… I was with a buddy so we decided to check out the Lucid…I did not drive it...

rent a Tesla Model 3 from Hertz - now Tesla has their problems, and no they are not perfect. But in my experience I'll take (and actuallly have taken with this trip) a Model 3 over most _ANY_ normal car - especialy the stuff that you tend to end up with in a rental fleet… I'll let you know...

https://www.yahoo.com/autos/crucial-part-shared-fiat-panda-190200573.html but it is in Cayenne’s, 911 Turbos, GT3’s and the 918 Spyder… anyways some fun/light reading for this weekend. but there is no question EV’s are simpler as much of the ICE motor supply chain is shared parts that are no...

I found this article super interesting…talks about GM’s new battery tech https://apple.news/A6rWptrwpQs2JW6WIl3umIw no amount of fast charging degrades it wireless cell status (reduce wires & cost) 100% charge all the time 400V or 800V - removes ‘expensive’ 800V always “on” technology cost is...

seriously - if you claim to be a car person - one should at least consider the competition - now I’m not saying it holds a candle to the Taycan - but put down your biases - and put yourself in the mind set of new car - less than $50k - and I’ll review what’s available…for my money it’s the best...
