    US: "Senate Republicans Propose $1000 Tax on EVs to Fund Road Repair" - article

    Meh. Sounds like ruse to discourage EV sales. And the Senator from Nebraska should be intelligent enough to know the cancelled spendings from the DOGE findings are far more beneficial for the US Treasury than the revenue from this new tax. Oh, wait...

    Encountering Rare Porsches

    Yeah, it sold for $1.98 million in 2021. It was definitely not on Cruise control for the movie.

    Encountering Rare Porsches

    Yep. From Wikipedia: "The Carrera GT was initially offered with five basic colors: Guards Red, Fayence Yellow, Basalt Black, GT Silver metallic and Seal Grey. Custom colors were later available from the factory."

    Encountering Rare Porsches

    Picked up my 2022 RWD from the dealership's service department in Chandler, Arizona USA a couple of days ago. The Seal Grey Carrera GT that I saw a week ago was still there, and it was joined by a GT Silver metallic one that has only 780 miles and is for sale for US$2 million.

    Encountering Rare Porsches

    No prob at all, @WasserGKuehlt . I didn't want to be too prescriptive in the rules. That being said, I think my thoughts are very similar to yours: -- Casual encounters, e.g. when you're not expecting to see it (so no gatherings or museums); -- Pictures preferred if snapped safely, e.g. no...

    Encountering Rare Porsches

    We've seen more Porsches than most folks, so seeing one on the road is not as much of a surprise for us as it is for others. But every now and then we come across a Porsche so rare and/or classic that it grabs our attention. This thread is for those types of encounters. Feel free to post your...

    "California Launching Pilot Program to Charge Drivers for Miles Driven" - Autoblog.com Article dated May 26, 2024

    https://www.autoblog.com/2024/05/26/california-launching-pilot-program-to-charge-drivers-for-miles-driven/ California is the nation's biggest EV market by a wide margin, and the relatively high percentage of battery-powered cars is digging a hole in the state's budget because it relies on...

    "VET0ED - California Bill Would Electronically Cap Vehicle Speed to 10 MPH Over Limit" - Article

    FWIW these were mandatory in all cars in a Middle Eastern country I used to live in. As soon as our brand new, made-in-USA-but-takes-regular-leaded-gasoline-company-issued Chevrolet Lumina exceeded 120 kph, the dashboard made a very loud and constant beep. I chose not to disable it, but I...

    EV Jokes

    95% of the EVs sold in America are still on the road today. The rest were able to be driven home.

    Porsche Software Testing

    A while back some of my work colleagues compared Corporate PR to seagulls. They flew in, strutted around with their chests puffed out, ate all the food, squawked a lot, crapped all over you, and flew away.

    Garage Remodeling/Upgrading Feedback.

    If you have a pillar between your overhead garage doors (like the pillar shown at the very end of @JRNJTAYCAN 's video), consider putting a NEMA 14-50 outlet on the pillar for your EVSE so that cars parked on either side of the pillar can charge. If you're installing tall garage cabinets along...

    911 to Taycan?

    Welcome, @Ant18 ! I used Turo to rent a Taycan for a few days and was hooked. Perhaps you could hire one for a couple more days to take a most serious look? I've met people at the track who swear they'll never go electric because they're absolutely hooked on engine response (sound, torque...

    If true… "The coming EV batteries will sweep away fossil fuel transport, with or without net zero"

    It's a win-win if/when mass-produced -- improved performance with the same kWh and less weight, and more range for the non-Porsche EV drivers who want more battery at today's weight.

    Will you test drive the Mercedes EQS?

    "The best or nothing." I suspect Mercedes was focused on achieving best-in-class aerodynamics for the EQS sedan, which they did: 0.20. The Taycan sedan is 0.22. Porsche got the looks. Mercedes got the blob.

    Mercedes locks faster acceleration behind a yearly $1,200 subscription - The Verge

    Add me to the list of groaners. It's like my bank account is a loaf of bread surrounded by hungry pigeons. And if I ever end up paying for a subscription, I expect to pay NOTHING for its repair.
