You are exactly right. I have found that some people are "wagon" people, which I have evolved into now with my CT4S ownership, and some people absolutely hate the "wagon" look, especially on the Taycan.
To be honest, I was given access to a Lucid for a weekend, and put almost 1,000 miles on...
Touche!!!!!!!!!
As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. A Lucid for me seems awful, but a huge ugly beast like a Hummer EV does not seem as bad for a 2nd car.
Meh. The title of the article should be "I went to the Porsche dealer and expected my ass kissed, so when that did not happen I got mad and bought the ugliest car in the EV world." Good f*ucking lord, the person sounds like a Ken.
Will it go 400 miles on a charge? Sure. But who wants to...
I am going to take it to a different level on why I will never go back to a Tesla. Besides being cheaply made and driving like dog turd, they are just plain, and boring looking.
I am an almost 55, twice divorced recent cancer survivor. There is absolutly no way I am pulling up to a nice...
Fair enough, and thanks for the insight.
Let's see if Tesla adheres to that schedule, and how they will manage the process. As they say, let's see the rubber it the road before we give Tesla credit for opening their network.
Soon???? Dream on.
I am betting the independent adapter will only be available once these legacy car makers start rolling out models with a NACs plug built into the car. Only then will Tesla provide an adapter for the older cars of these auto manufactorers that have a CCS plug.
Tesla is...
The problem in Texas is not Electrify America. The problem in Texas is Texas.
It is not Electrify America's fault that the DC charging infrastructure in Texas is thwarted by the medieval, backwater mentality of is local government resulting in less state wide high speed charging options than...
Not sure why the soon to be CEO of Electrify America is going to "detail many unacceptable charging experiences that many have detailed?" He was documenting his experience on using the charging network he will soon be managing. Why is he going to reference someone who has a charging issue...
I watched the video earlier today after it popped up in my Youtube feed. Honestly, you have to give the guy credit that he was honest when he ran into sites that had non-functioning chargers - like the one in Cedar City, UT. Which happens to be tied with Grand Junction, CO as my least...
Intersting idea, but no way Porsche can stuff a 140kWh battery into a Macan with the current technology available today. Hell, my F-150 Lightning has a 131kWh better and the truck is twice as big as a Macan.
If Porsche can figure out how to put a 120kWh battery in the future Cayenne EV, then...
I love everything about this post, but times have changed, unfortunately.
There is a time and a place for everything, but being a brand ambassador for my Porsche Taycan in a Walmart parking lot is not for me. If there is a kid with a parent who wants to take a look at the car, I am cool to...
Are you going to post a picture of what you did to personalize your new MB? I am kind of curious since I am not sure what you can really do to make the car look any better. I did not think a car manufacturer could make an uglier car than the new BMW iX, but MB pulled it off.
It is always...
I adhere to a strict limit of one ugly car in my stable of vehicles at a time. My F-150 Lightning is pretty ugly, but that vehicle is all about the functionality for what I use it for and I could care less what it looks like.
My CT4s covers the attractive, fun vehicle in the stable. No way...
Bwahahahahhahahahhaha. You should have kept that to yourself after complaining about all the issues with your Taycan.
You think the Lucid will be any better? The Denver Lucid team let me use one for a weekend and what I experienced was that the software still had lots of improvements...
“They should have head-hunted the best people from Silicon Valley,” Schmidt said. “You can’t lead on software with automotive people.”
I think this sentence says it all.
If you had or have an early VIN Taycan you acutely felt this with the numerous fixes, recalls, or updates. I do have to...
Good article for newbies.
I would add that altering the aerodynamics of the car will reduce range. Putting a bike on top of the car, or a cargo box, will knock off 30% or 40% of range.
I would also add that a person should always try to have a back up plan in case the charger you need is...
Dave, thank you for sharing that the electronics on the '22 are more fluid than on previous iterations of the Taycan.
My '22 CT4s arrives at the dealership in 3 days, and I will be trading in my '21 4s. I am looking forward to more fluid PCM start up and operation in the new car.
I have seen some pretty fugly wrapped Model 3's out there trying to distinguish themselves from the standard five colors offered by Tesla.
Hurts the eyes!
