Congrats- tell us more!

I'm truly sorry for you having to endure this sh*t show. The only consolation (?) I can offer is that you Taycan owners aren't alone. Our Genesis EV has also had some recall issues, and it's also hit or miss with them whether they really seem to know how to address each. During the last...

Excellent - That means I bought the right car for me! 👍🏻

I like the concept, but not the price. Eventually, I’d expect the cost of this tech to drop to “affordable for many”, and I’d likely be interested at that point. For the time being though, I’ll spend the extra 10-ish seconds required to actually plug my car in as needed.

I regularly get unsolicited compliments on the looks of my Tesla Model S Plaid, so…. 🤷‍♂️

Interesting. So you’re all about looking fast, and not as much about actually BEING fast… Many are the opposite, preferring sleepers/q-ships. (raises hand) To each their own.

Don’t look now, but this is both a grocery getter AND a truck….

Is it just me, or is the pricing NUTS?!?

Right - so what I saw with my own eyes and experienced personally is a “lie”, eh?? SMH - WTF do you know about my actual experience?!? Nothing.

Are the Hankooks the same spec (section width and aspect ratio) as the OEMs? I also ran Hankooks briefly but despite being the same spec, the Hankooks’ actual measured tread width was 0.75” less than the OEM tire.

I’ve personally seen nearly a 20% reduction in range going from an EV-specific tire to a non-EV tire, and anecdotal evidence on various EV forums I follow suggest that 10-20% reduction is common, so I wouldn’t dismiss that report quite so readily.

Read this: https://info.ornl.gov/sites/publications/Files/Pub212813.pdf It's likely that your summer tires aren't EV-optimized, which can make a significant difference in efficiency....

Not exactly sure what this means, but on the face of it, it's not accurate. If you enter your specific non-Tesla EV in the Tesla app, only chargers compatible with your EV will be displayed. Simple.

Did you use the Tesla app to filter out non-compatible Superchargers? If you used anything other than the Tesla app, the problem may have been that you were at a Supercharger that isn't compatible with your car....

At LONG last, US resident VW owners finally get to experience some Supercharger love: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a69424224/volkswagen-ev-supercharger-access/

The fact that this is still a thing worth mentioning says volumes about non-Tesla DCFC in the US…

🤦‍♂️- arrogant much?

Used cars are a always different story, but in any case a used Plaid could be had for $50-60K, and it would have factory battery and powertrain warranty to 10 years/150K miles from the in-service date…

Yes, of course the Plaid’s 3-motor setup enables much more precise and accurate torque vectoring. Plaid can also corner at more than 1 G, and of course it’s quicker/faster than anything else on the market that’s less than $240K…

Sport seats were actually added in late calendar 2024, but the comment about the upgraded brakes is accurate, as my ‘23 has them. The Plaid is somewhat of a blunt instrument compared to a Taycan, but for daily driving, it offers a compelling list of virtues. I had a riot blasting up ACH in...
