Random update: I finally sold my 2022 Tesla Model 3 LR, in a private sale. It took much longer than I anticipated. Didn't make any money. Barely broke even. My evil masterplan evidently didn't take into consideration Tesla's recent price drops and huge new inventory. Oh well. I really like my...

Here's some more photos and a few more comments: Side view, not a great fan of the wheels (too busy) but meh. I'll take them. The magical sphere every auto reviewer talks about. Good feature, actually. Better view of the front passenger area. High-quality touch surfaces everywhere +...

Yeah I'm aware of the battery issue. Hyundai is working on it. Not all vehicles on the E-GMP platform are affected. I agree with you on your statements, the Taycan wins on handling, but the Genesis is a heck of a car for the money. Not as much range as the Tesla Model 3 MY2022 that I currently...

So last week I actually got a chance to drive a Genesis GV60 here in Canada. I was very fortunate: the dealer actually had one in stock as a demo, and they invited me to try it out since I had put my name down more than 6 months ago. Here's some photos in real life: The color is basically...

Update: Tesla just recently raised their prices across many models both in the USA and Canada, so it seems my evil plan of 'flipping' this car makes even more sense than before. I checked the Tesla Canada website and sure enough, my identical MY2022 Model 3 is now $2,000 more than a week ago...

Not surprised. My 2022 Tesla Model 3 has the Beta of 'Self Driving' and it scares the crap out of me. I never use it. Totally "not ready for prime-time". My 2016 MB 350GLE SUV has Level 1 auto driving, and does a much better job -- with 7 year old technology. Hmm. Ain't that something?

Long story (won't get into it here) but I currently own a 2022 Tesla Model 3 Perf and a 2021 Taycan 4s. I watched this video last week, I follow that RS EV guy's channel on YouTube regularly. FROM THE VIDEO: If you watch the split screen sequences carefully, notice how many times his...

I know I'm a bit shallow but I really do enjoy the looks I get in the Taycan. The Tesla Model 3 looks like an anonymous grey 4-door urban sedan with no sex appeal. Even though it's a 'sleeper' with the 460hp+ software bump that I paid for. I am a shallow person. I know. But I'll let you know...

From the OP: Wow, didn't think I'd get 6 pages of responses! Thanks everyone for your input. Upon reflection, here's some further notes: TAYCAN 1. Contrary to others' posts (and I really feel for you guys) I have NEVER had a bad software glitch or OTA problem with my 2021 Taycan 4S (May 2021...

In Canada, 20-25 week wait time (official from Tesla). Private sale, people are paying $12-15K above sticker. I'm on the fence for now.

Last Winter (late Feb. 2022) I put in a small deposit on the Tesla website for a Model 3 LR, just as a lark. I thought the delivery times were so extreme I wouldn't get the car until July. My plan was to take delivery, drive it home, and "flip" it because of the massive demand and price...

I found some more new promo shots of the GV60. It seems to be very polarizing. Some people hate the look, some love it. I think it looks cool. The luxury appointments in the interior blow the Tesla Model 3 out of the water (here in Canada they are priced similarly). Here's some new shots (BTW...

Thanks to everyone for their input. I appreciate it. This vehicle is to replace an aging MB 350 SUV that (of course) is going to need extravagant repairs of parts made by Elves using Mithril and magically-imbued PVC. Not to mention the mind-blowing labour costs MB charges their customers. I...

Hey all, I am a current Taycan 4S owner (and loving it) but looking to replace my aging SUV. In Feb. 2022 I put down a deposit for a GENESIS GV60, their 1st fully electric crossover with dedicated platform. Yes, I know it's basically a tarted-up Hyundai Ioniq / Kia EV6, but it has better...

IIRC even Matt Watson of CarWow (yes, I know, he's a charming but annoying toff) did a video with this BMW recently -- he distinctly noted that the design, especially interior, was 99% a stock 3-series with a different screen and not much else. He also found it heavy, although he noted it had...

+1 for no BMW. Owned a 2014 X5, beautiful vehicle. Absolute "lemon", nine major warranty sessions in one year of ownership. Terrible car. I have never owned a car that was so unreliable. Very unfortunate, BMW has interesting designs, but the manufacturing AWAY from Deutschland was a big mistake.

Frankly, it's not difficult to exceed Tesla's quality control with regards to interiors. That's the main reason why I walked away from the Tesla when I was EV shopping earlier in 2021. When friends asked me what I thought the Tesla was like, I said "it's an electric Datsun designed by 22-year...

Sorry -- I put my response above.

The pyramids (about 1.5 km from my house) are a set of four huge glass "ecosystems" that contain biomes from 4 different parts of the Earth. It is a very popular tourist spot here in my city and was set up in the 1970's by a very wealthy Canadian family that donated the land, money, and...

Photography. Puts me in a "zen" mood, makes me focus on nature, my surroundings, the seasons. Been doing it for 20+ years. Just a hobby to relieve stress and enjoy life.
