The same thing was said of Tesla yet I must have missed the big funeral for Ford. Oh wait, Ford is still here. GM, then I missed the GM funeral. No, that's not it either since GM is still around. Heck, I even have the Cadillac credit card. Chrysler, it was the Chrysler funeral. uhm, the jokes on...

My life is probably very boring as well, you certainly won't find paparazzi chasing me down to post my speedo pics or to body shame me! (just kidding, no speedos here, sorry for any imagery that may have popped into your head) but I still don't want it collated with a million other people to...

Yes please. It's a chinese car. Let that sink in. And not just a Camry or Accord. It's a car riddled with technology, all of which likely sends data back to the totalitarian regime that all chinese companies are beholden to. It isn't $40+k organically. It's that way because the chinese did what...

Lucid is STILL a startup. Look what happened to other EV startups in just this past year. No thanks. If an established brand with $$$ has hiccups, how did you come to the conclusion a startup will somehow do better? This isn't 2006 when Tesla was a startup in a lone category they practically...

Sounds like this guy wants to drive a go-kart. No tech No electric assist No 4-wheel steering He didn't say but I suspect he'd skip ABS, adjustable suspension or any suspension system or any of the other nannies manufacturers offer. Personally, I like my tech and I like them in cars that...

So in the EU, Porsche has an authorized list of 3rd party repair facilities? Why? Not enough dealerships?? On average, how far is it to a Porsche dealer? Do all dealerships have service departments? I recall from my time in Germany, France, Slovenia, Bosnia. Belgium and Italy that car dealers...

That is unsettling information. I'm not sure I place a significant amount of confidence in the statements made by 3rd parties, unless they have requisite expertise in the components of an EV. I haven't read anything about the batteries elsewhere so I've not read the 3rd party statements or had a...

Agreed. "Should not"? Well for me, it is a paramount concern. I would take every simple step to deny a government and company any opportunity to gather data. Choosing not to buy one of their cars is a passive and simple way to thwart one means of data collection. I suppose that is true. What...

Simplified? Yes, because I see the threat as a simple one. It is no secret the chinese government gathers and stores an immense amount of data on its own citizens and anyone else it can. My wife works for an international firm headquartered in the UK. They have a standing policy to backup and...

We have differing opinions on this. I do believe they will skirt the rules and laws of the countries they import into. I do believe they will test how much they can get away with if they even think it will be detected. I also think they would litigate the matter citing they need said data to...

I wonder what the effect is on the battery as a whole when a 3 yr old battery has x% of cells replaced with new one. Ever read an instruction manual for a consumer product, the battery section almost always says "Don't mix new and used batteries" in addition to not mixing battery types, though...

I keep reading about these but so far, my VIN has bullet-dodged all of these recalls. I'm actually bummed about it, a battery replacement sounds like a good deal as it resets the battery % clock to zero. This is an assumption on my part, in that they replace the whole battery though if Porsche...
