    Tesla admits FSD is a pipe dream

    I love driving my Taycan. I'd also love a fully autonomous EQS where I could nap in the back seat on my way to & from work. ?‍♂️

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

    You'll be fine - I get 275 on my Turbo with the 21" Mission E wheels, which are the worst wheels for range, and the powered charge port, which hurts range because they close up the side vent. That's in normal mode with non-eco AC, driving 75-80mph. You should get 280-290 miles.

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

    Unplugged Performance's business is 100% dependent on Tesla so it's a distinction without a difference. I'm familiar with Randy since long before he did anything with Tesla. I'm not knocking Randy; it's just the reality of the business situation.

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

    Randy is a good guy but he's a factory driver for Tesla at this point. Elon doesn't tolerate ANY criticism so as long as Elon's checks are clearing, you won't hear anything negative from Randy.

    [US] - Over the Top - the well equipped EV home garage…for those that wish to "over do it"…

    Yikes. FWIW my Taycan with 19.2kW option (which I now believe was a total waste of money) goes over 40A with the PMCC. Only 41-42A but enough that if the wire gauge and breaker were only sized for 40A, it would be a problem and I'd have to turn it down. Re: the 19.2kW, I'm throwing good money...

    Model 3 vs. Taycan Turbo S Track Race

    The Model 3 is a better platform to start modding with due to weight but stock vs stock, the Taycan Turbo S should kill it until it goes into limp mode. Like you mentioned, the Model 3 really needs suspension modifications & brake upgrades. Regardless, the Model 3P is a good platform &...

    [US] - Over the Top - the well equipped EV home garage…for those that wish to "over do it"…

    I just got my Taycan & tried what you did (the slow as hell ordinary plug). 8A limit. I got about 5% in 18 hours. A 50A circuit with the 6-50 or 14-50 plug will allow for 40A charging (circuits are rated for 80% of the breaker for continuous load).

    Switching from Telsa Model S to Taycan 4S. Feedback from anyone who has done this?!

    The cheapo b pillar can now be fixed with money on the configurator. I have experience with both Bentley and the DB9 & you're totally right but that's not really what Porsche has ever been. Also the DB9 had the absolute worst radio/nav setup I've ever seen. Other random niggles like the steering...

    Mercedes Benz EQS vs Tayacn

    Exterior looks terrible because they went overboard chasing low drag coefficient. Interior looks awesome though & I'm sure the ride will be incredibly luxurious. Would prefer to be a passenger in one rather than driving one.

    Does the Taycan make petrol engine supercars old-fashioned or even obsolete?

    The regen/coasting was a design decision to help range since the car is so heavy. Coasting is more efficient than regen, with friction brakes bring way worse than either. They also wanted to keep the experience from bring too weird for existing customers. Having the brake pedal initiate regen is...

    Cayenne v Macan

    Cayenne is a boat compared to a Macan GTS. Much less fun to drive. If you only need to haul bigger stuff occasionally, just get a roof rack or if it's something like bicycles, get the tow hitch to use with a bike rack. But the correct answer is get whichever one she wants.

    Is the Porsche Taycan Competing With Tesla? - Undecided with Matt Ferrell

    There are still very few "EV customers" in the US but at this point, we're still talking about very small numbers so obviously there are some. The EU is a different story because governments are forcing customers into EVs whether they like it or not & all of the numbers are bigger. Many people...
