Agree that we are reverting back to more of a normal environment where luxury sedans depreciate a ton.
That said, it is interesting to see lucid’s struggles relative to the competition, given the rave reviews from journalists. That example from BAT of a $150k+ MSRP 2022 car with <1k miles...
Honestly, if I was in your shoes, I'd pick up a nice used Taycan. Depreciation is finally starting to hit the Taycan (for a while it wasn't because of limited supply of cars), and there's no tax credit to make a new car more attractive. That wasn't the case last year, since a new Taycan after...
Yeah, have to say the looks of the Lucid was a big factor initially for me not heavily considering one. Was surprised at the number of reviewers who said it was a very good looking car. Front isn’t bad but the rear proportions aren’t good. It does look premium from the exterior (unlike the EQS)...
Picked up this tudor pelagos fxd a few months ago. Felt appropriate to wear today in bora bora (French Polynesia) given it was co designed with the French Marine Nationale
I think the opinion article is overly negative on EVs and takes truths too far. I do believe that we will eventually transition to majority EVs at some point in the future, as if production and charging infrastructure is sorted, they fit for most people's needs. The question of when is the big...
Looks like you have to get your car reprogrammed - probably will reduce performance in sport+ mode, otherwise why else did the cars not meet emissions standards in that mode. I'd probably pass even if it meant some reimbursement
Curious - does hitting Max AC change the vent direction to Focused? I usually dislike direct air, except when trying to initially cool down
Also has anyone tested if you can use porsche voice control to change vents from diffused vs focused?
Don't have my car yet so just wondering how annoying...
Keep it to replace your MB for now, and as others said you can flip it for not much of a loss if you want something else later. Particularly since you said you like the styling. I don't like the styling and probably wouldn't buy one because of it, but if I was you, I wouldn't worry about what...
It's gotta moreso be the adaptive dampers that Porsche uses, combined with their focus and expertise in suspension tuning. It seems for all their vehicles, not just Taycan, people praise the balance they strike to having a comfortable ride and fantastic handling. An example I often see is the...
Having a true beater is amazing - I didn't think I'd love the "Casioak" G Shock as much as I do, but I might actually wear it more than my Root Beer Rolex GMT
Nice to have something super lightweight and not worried about banging around doing yardwork, working on cars, or losing while out boating
I think the answer is that it depends - the PBP has a greater voltage (610-835V) than the PB (520-720V). Assuming the same components in the rest of the car that have the same current draw peak, the system alone should be able to handle a proportionally greater power in both output and charging...
My 3 watch rotation - I realized I've never been huge into collecting (anything really), so have tried to maintain a concise set that works for any situation
To be upfront, this is purely speculation, but I'm wondering if Porsche artificially limits 0-60 acceleration for its lower RWD and CT4 trims. For example, I'm looking at Motor Trend's testing of the CT4, they got a 4.5 0-60, but more importantly a 12.7 1/4 mile at 116mph...
