    Latest Porsche survey about "Luxury Charging Experiences"

    I was infuriated by the survey and told them so. Can Porsche be any more out of touch with reality? I am literally renting combustion cars for my long distance driving needs. The only "luxury" I want is available and reliable charging. They haven't a clue. I blasted them big time and pulled no...

    The Lotus Eletre R is pretty quick then

    Lotus reality distortion field ON! Without the Lotus name, just another Chinese SUV. Maybe a decent enough SUV, but I'm failing to see the Lotusness. Zhejiang Geely Holding Group website: I guess I can forgive the Cayenne, Urus, DBX, Purosangue because at least they captured the "music" by...

    Spent some time w/ Lucid Air this morning… impressions

    Earlier this year I agreed to make my $1000 reservation deposit non-refundable in order to attempt to qualify for the tax credit. Subsequent IRS clarifications on the issue seem to have made that agreement invalid. In light of this, I asked them to refund my money (although I was grateful for...

    Spent some time w/ Lucid Air this morning… impressions

    I’ve requested cancellation of my order on four separate occasions; twice by email and twice via telephone. Still waiting, but at least no one is calling.

    Drive Unit: Motor | Tech Talks | Lucid Motors

    If you appreciate the technical details, this one is very good. Includes a surprise appearance by Taycan drive unit.

    Maserati Folgore

    "And our engineers found a way to package the batteries in the central tunnel." translates from the original Italian to: "We're using an existing ICE platform."

    Cross shopping w Lucid

    The details aren't quite as chilling as your sentiments would indicate. I think the $4.6 billion in cash and Saudi stake plus orders will keep them afloat. And my $1000 deposit, now non-refundable, so there's that. :)

    Geely Zeekr 001

    No, not a surprise at all. Just thought this one was particularly relevant and shameless. Geely wants to be a global player, but can't quite move on.

    Geely Zeekr 001

    WTF? Is that the optional Burmester sound system in image 3? Two charge ports for China (or they forgot to Photoshop out the front one). Not a copy, an "homage". Geely premium EV brand Zeekr is exploring IPO options, sources say

    Dodge Banshee (Charger Daytona SRT EV)

    Love the looks, but the tone of the reveal was positively prehistoric. “The aero is crap, but we don’t care”, “EV’s suck so we’re going to give you one as comforting as a La-Z-Boy and a TV table”! I haven’t cringed so much since the Cybertruck rolled on stage almost 3 years ago. 126 db of fake...

    Cross shopping w Lucid

    I turned my Sept 2020 reservation into an order yesterday. Couldn't (just yet) walk away from the $23,200 total savings with early MSRP and tax credit. Without the Stealth package, probably wouldn't have. Already loved the interior, but now the exterior is so much improved. We'll see where the...

    Pretty impressed by the new Stealth package. Adds a little sport and subtracts a little Buick.

    Taycan v Hyundai Ioniq 6

    Ioniq 6 is commendably cutting edge, but proportions are off, and that in turn makes the tail end super awkward. Maybe in a darker color might be OK, so looking forward to seeing that. If you’re interested in design analysis, TheSketchMonkey does a quick fix that makes me sad for what could...

    Cross shopping w Lucid

    I tend to agree with the sentiment here so far. I've had a Lucid Touring reservation since day 1. I considered the cars about equally desirable prior to taking delivery of my CT, but now, not even close. My Taycan is a great daily driver, which I wasn't sure it would be. As for more spirited...

    Anyone considering move to Lucid Air?

    I am absolutely considering the Lucid and keeping my early reservation open! Unfortunately, the Touring is all I can justify and I think that'll be a ways out. Plenty of time to evaluate quality and charge performance.

    Had an interesting chat with some dudes from Lucid test team

    Tough audience! I'm a Lucid fan. Long visits to the Lucid Studios in New York and San Jose have left me very impressed. I've been a reservation holder for over a year now. Looks better in the flesh. Cutting edge aero has a price. Seen the EQS? This is better. Whacky trunk opening not that...

    Lucid Air - Motor Trend Review

    I love it and have had a reservation since the reveal. Exterior is a bit of a bore, but nice enough in person. Interior is nothing short of gorgeous, both in design and materials. Not luxurious? Hardly. I've spent quite a bit of time in two different beta vehicles and they were 95% there. The...
