Porsche pricing over the last decade is getting a little bit out of hand.
I bought a mclaren 600LT last month, and it boggles my mind that someone would pay the same amount of dollars for a 911 GTS as a ground up supercar with carbon fiber chassis.
I wish the train that I take 5 hours a day to work doesn’t smell, get delayed, and isn’t cramped like a sardine can. The only bright spot to my commute is getting into the taycan to drive from the train station, home
As for why? Public transportation in America sucks. I just don’t want to...
Porsche has always been in a bit of a niche, and does not out right beat its competitors in a clear cut way that makes it easier to shop on paper or come across as a no brainer in terms of value for dollar. I've been cross shopping with porsche for over a decade and porsche lost pretty much...
i think so, from a value proposition perspective as pure EV: taycan is aweful for people who cross shop between tesla. worse range, more expensive, less practical, more clunky software, nickled and dimed for everything. There is almost nothing you're looking for as an EV person. Whether it is...
I am similar. I needed a non suv for our two dogs because one of them is too old to climb in and out of my range rover (90lb anatolian shepard and 60lb german shorthaired) and enough utility to haul my mountain bike.
While there, I also live in a mini american version of the rhine valley /...
I think Porsche made the taycan for people who are looking to get a Porsche, but likes the idea of an EV. Not someone who is cross shopping between EV brands.
I was lucky enough to drive and be driven around the ring in a gt3rs last year. What an incredible and scary experience, years of video game ring time does it no justice
That makes a lot of sense, it is incredibly how messy a typical company's software stack is. Billing system, CRM, the controller inside the actual product itself, are all from different sources and it takes forever to make an incremental update. The convoluted bureaucratic mess is also what...
I went on the driving / cruise this past weekend, and unfortunately an unforeseen emergency meant we had to bail about 10 miles into it so I did more driving to the meet up point and home, than on the actual drive. So I did not get to experience the range performance for the planned 100 odd...
That is the plan! On plugshare all of the chargers in that part of PA (aside the lone EA location) are AC charging. There's some anxiety but also its going to be an adventure!
I have a pretty big drive this weekend with the taycan with a bunch of people in their sports cars, going on a ~90 mile cruise through the Appalachians. The end point is about ~20 miles from a single EA charging station with 4 stalls within a ~150 mile radius.
Theoretically I should have...
