Basically, the software of MY22. Overview is here: https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/2021/products/porsche-taycan-model-year-2022-upgrades-range-connectivity-colours-25520.html

On Performance: The Mission R is on a par with the performance level of the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup. The power output remains constant over the duration of the race, so there is no thermally induced de-rating – a major advantage of the electric motors with direct oil cooling developed by Porsche...

Many of the Mission R's add-on parts are made of natural fibre reinforced plastic (NFRP), the basis of which is a material made from agriculturally produced flax fibres. Producing this renewable fibre creates 85 per cent less CO2 than is the case with carbon fibre. The natural fibre material can...

Curiosity intensifies, 4 hours to go :)

Let's not conflate Tesla engineering with Elon. Elon didn't found Tesla. He got in as an investor and creeped in as CEO, but he wasn't and will never be a Tesla founder. Props to Tesla for making EVs cool, and causing the industry to react to it. When I hear leaks or testimonies of people who...

So excited for this. From what they are teasing on Instagram, it looks like a "2-door 911-class EV".

Given the amount of investigations against Tesla Autopilot crashes, I’m skeptical that regulators will be allowing such a car without a steering wheel solely relying on a vision-based system to hit the roads in 2023. I’m willing to bet quite a bit against it.

Interesting stuff going on with Tesla's battery supply chain. They have recently been pushing out more cars with those Iron-based batteries (Standard Range). Cybertruck and Semi always had been dependent on their high nickel batteries, which have not yet showed any sign of production-readiness...

Porsche is teasing an announcement they will be doing on September 6th at 3PM CET. For those who have a YouTube account, you can set a reminder to get a notification when the feed is live.

The yoke steering wheel in the Plaid is not at all to my liking, and based on early blog posts from people who tried it in the Bay Area, it does need some getting used to, and they still aren't fan of it. If your thing is playing video games while hanging out at Superchargers, I see the appeal...

I would hope that to some extent the race outcome still partially depends on the driver's performance, rather than the car's. Not familiar with the All-Japan EV Grand Prix drivers though, so don't know if that explains it.
