    Harry’s Garage on EV and Porsche

    I generally appreciate Harry's perspective, but this is an odd video and not a very insightful take on the state of the industry, IMO. 🤷‍♂️

    SF to Palm Springs

    That’s better than I’d have expected… And yep, EA still sucks, though at least it’s now less an issue of broken chargers and more an issue of not enough chargers!

    SF to Palm Springs

    How accurate is the information in that screen, in general?

    SF to Palm Springs

    ABRP suggests the Tesla Supercharger on Rinaldi Street in San Fernando: https://www.tesla.com/findus/location/supercharger/26976 24 stalls, which should mean less chance of a queue... OTOH, the reviews for that particular site aren't great... OTOOH, if your car doesn't have the 400V/150KW...

    Taycans everywhere!

    I live at the other end of the Coachella Valley (LaQuinta) and there are a decent number of Taycans around. One on my street, as a matter of fact.

    2027 M3 EV Quad-Motor -- first (leaked) images

    The current ICE 3-series and M3/M4 aren’t as low/sleek as the cars you mentioned either, but they’re also a class smaller than those cars, which at least partly explains it.

    2027 M3 EV Quad-Motor -- first (leaked) images

    TBF, a vented hood can absolutely add cooling for a radiator, or could reduce lift, or both.

    That fun sure didn't last long... totaled Taycan Turbo GT on Copart with just 1,322 miles

    In some ways it’s worse that someone who could afford that car did that/experienced that than it is when a teenager balls up a beater bought with his/her first job money... I understand that they’re called accidents, but still…

    Tesla Charging does not work as promised

    Happy to help. Having been a Tesla owner for 8+ years, I find the Tesla app to be “okay” when it comes to user-friendliness. Spend a few minutes poking around and its logic will become clearer.

    2027 BMW i3 EV Sedan Revealed (440 Miles Range, 463 HP / 476 LB-FT)

    This is more likely due to the way BMW chose to play the EPA rating “game”than anything particularly efficiency- or motor-related…

    Tesla Charging does not work as promised

    "Hamburger" at upper right corner of home screen, select "Charge Your Other EV", scroll down and enter your EV make/model, and then only the Superchargers compatible with your car will be displayed.

    Tesla Charging does not work as promised

    Attempting to use anything other than the Tesla app to locate compatible Superchargers AND to initiate charging for any non-Tesla EV is currently a recipe for disappointment. Plain and simple.

    Porsche mulling Panamera and Taycan Merger

    As a multiple-time Audi owner and previous Audi design fan, this car is a huge disappointment on so many levels. I’ll never understand that black trim above the rocker panels. I know that it’s likely meant to reduce the visual height of the side view, but to me it has the opposite effect. Audi...

    [opinion] - hmmm…VW/Audi/Porsche _IS_ in trouble… [⚠️ ADMIN WARNING: NO INSULTING / POLITICALLY CHARGED POSTING]

    Farley clearly sees the Chinese auto industry as an existential threat for Ford, and is trying to stake out a path forward. He seems to be the only legacy mfr. CEO that is publically acknowledging the threat....though I'm sure all the rest of them acknowledge that threat in private...

    What's the best alternative to the Taycan?

    A friend swapped his ‘21 4S for a refreshed ‘25 eTron GT. He prefers the Audi.

    What's the best alternative to the Taycan?

    Actually had the opportunity to drive a '23 Lucid Air Grand Touring recently. A few takeaways, in no particular order: (for perspective, my DD is a Model S Plaid) It's low, but access isn't quite as restricted as I'd feared The seating position felt lower than the Plaid Rear seat had a ton of...

    What's the best alternative to the Taycan?

    All of this gives me hope for the upcoming Genesis GV60 Magma. While I respect the 5N, IMHO its interior is missing the luxury that I prefer. The GV60 Magma will address that.

    That's awesome! When a DCFC stop with a car and station that can do high KW charging goes well, it's pretty amazing...
