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

Master Class - very dense information

Something like this from Porsche would be amazing. And a CEO that can talk the technical details without getting into sales/corp bullshit – way too rare.

It is its own effective form of selling. If the CEO is this detailed - imagine how good the cars are?

Also nice to see an American talk in terms of metric values (newton meters, kilograms, etc). Instead of the imperial system – what is it? – bags of sugar tied to an ox times 7/8th's of a furlong per rod – or whatever it is.

And yes, I know the USA is actually on the metric system – and just "locally" converts back to the older units.

The Lucid Motors are some serious engineering witchcraft, amazing capability in such a small package. Serious respect to them for that

Well, all those equations actually work and are used in real life. Not just nerd stuff. The real magic that uses the smarts, is actually in the material science.
