    Does driving a Taycan make one an official EV and/or Porsche brand ambassador?

    It goes with the car right now unfortunately. You are an ambassador for both. I tend to keep info on hand to give them so i dont waste my time having to educate every single one of them that feels the need to tell me why they think they are so smart and did about 2 seconds of looking on social...

    Spent some time w/ Lucid Air this morning… impressions

    I love the tech on the Lucid and depending on interior choices, it can be quite nice. An acquaintance in town has one of two in the area and i got to check it out. It was very nice inside for sure, but that exterior…Ugly AF. It looks like something an old grandpa would be driving back in the...

    "There's only one customer for electric vehicles" - Article link

    Most of the grid will eventually be able to handle the cars. The grid has grown over the many decades to accommodate our lives and needs and will continue to do so with proper investment and management. Texas tho….ay yi yi….you guys have a unique mess that will take quite some doing to fix, but...

    Dodge Banshee (Charger Daytona SRT EV)

    I am a muscle car guy and had a Hellcat before my Taycan and I like this car a lot. I wouldn't get rid of my Taycan for it of course, but I might have one alongside it. I'll need to see what the final car looks and sounds like, bc yes, I miss a good exhaust sound too. If this car can bridge...

    What everyone should know before they buy an EV

    I would add a little more to the fast DC charging section. If you read that WSJ article, you can see how people who just dont know about charging can get confused. All fast charging is not equal, as apps like PlugShare will show fast charging stations that give 25kw all the way up to the 350kw...

    Cross shopping w Lucid

    Well, you know with Porsche badge, you get a quality and heritage that is there and you know they will be there for many many more years to come. We can’t say the same for Lucid yet. The new EV companies are struggling. Tesla defied the odds and succeeded, but Elon was smart in the way he ran...

    Lucid Air reaches 500 miles in real-world 70 mph range test

    I’m not arguing against the range. It’s nice! I’m just saying for going in one shot, most (not all) wouldn’t need it. If the charging infrastructure was better, it wouldn’t really be needed, but as it is, yes, this range would make plenty of EV trips possible that aren’t or are a bit sketchy to...

    Lucid Air reaches 500 miles in real-world 70 mph range test

    Very impressive range! Someone brought up a valid point on it tho, It’s not likely that anyone will need that 500 mile range in one go. If you are on a long road trip, most people will have to stop to eat/restroom/rest before going that far, and you might as well charge at that point. It’s still...

    Taycan Turbo S vs. Model S Plaid - really by this much!?

    Yes, I’ve seen several street racing videos. That car hooks on the street from a dig quite easily. The battery does have to be conditioned, I am told 8 -15 minute for maximum performance. But Brooks (the dragtimes vlogger) showed the car in the first race launched without the conditioning and...

    Tesla's "rollout" 0-60

    Not a lie at all. I drag raced a lot with my previous car (no expert here mind you), and I follow the hobby. Most official times given in these cases include a rollout. Most street racers would prefer times from a stop or a “dig” when talking 0-60.

    Darwin Award finalists, early 2021 leaders

    If you dont feel it is appropriate, by all means, continue on To the next post. I’m not going to personally shed a tear or be nice about extreme foolishness, even if this is the result. I can feel horrible for their families, which I do, but these clowns i got nothing but derision for. Should I...

    Darwin Award finalists, early 2021 leaders

    In their Tesla in “self driving’” mode. https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/tesla-model-s-crash-autopilot-dead/ There’s just no patch for stupid... I just know this will bleed over into more EV jokes/concerns about bursting into flames. Gotten a few already...

    Taycan 4S vs Model 3 Performance - German

    Did both cars use launch mode or was it just mash the accelerators? I want to see what the 4S will do with the 3P in launch mode as most I’ve seen in video have not used it. If I get the chance, you bet I will race them!

    Against a Mustang GT

    I’m coming from a Hellcat Charger with over 800hp at the crank and the acceleration in the 4S is STILL surprisingly fast and feels like plenty. Muscle cars with lots of HP always have issues with traction and have to get in the right power band for them to go full blast. The instant torque on...
