The technology is changing quickly, but probably not 2 years quickly unless you count all the models competitors plan to ship. There will be a Macan EV as well. I am looking forward to seeing the Tesla roadster plans and the rumored Cayman EV although that’s likely further out. 3-5 years...

the 911 isn’t a new model line. The taycan is. The turbo was included in the initial launch of the panamera, Macan, and Cayanne.

The technology will change a lot in 3 years, so supply of newer better models will likely force prices down. I don’t think battery wear is really a major factor. Well maintained Tesla’s don’t have a significant degradation even after many years. I think their resale price is more a supply &...

that article is ridiculous and self refuting. Audi’s explanation for 45% less range is they reserve 12% of the battery capacity for charge longevity... yeah. All the other facts are self reported excuses. Apparently Audi needs a lot more cooling. Well, that’s not a good reason.

wherein the 8th largest economy in the world, and by far the largest market for Tesla, is mysteriously not a part of the US...

My ICE car has a range of ... 200mi. Filling it up with gas once a week is a drag. My wife’s EV is basically always full in the morning. It doesn’t sound like much of a difference but it’s a real quality of life improvement.

It’s pretty clear Porsche is pricing with their own ice model lines as benchmarks, so no, it won’t be a bargain. It’ll be Model 3 type speed at 911 prices. They aren’t competing with Tesla so much as with themselves for people who have already decided not to buy a Tesla (build quality...

they will sell thousands of them, just like the panamera hybrid, and then release the taycan 4S. And then a cross over. And then a Macan. And then v2 of this car. It’ll likely face a tough sell after the next Tesla roadster (also vaporware). Tesla could rev the model S to crush this, but...

there are more albeit small differences. The regular turbo has a lower drag coefficient and smaller tires. Those significantly impact the range.

Mostly sure the answer is No. VW would have to pay Tesla for that.

pretty sure they have a solid understanding of the 911 carrera vs turbo break down and the panamera vs turbo hybrid. and they are totally okay with this. After they hit their top end goals, they’ll announce a 4S. Next year a base trim. If the prices are way too high they’ll adjust them a...

keeping up with a gt2rs even briefly is better than I expected. Priced to match. Lol.

Tesla has been doing this with serious commitment since 2006. They’ve iterated on their designs and improved their engineering from experience. This is a technology area where real world experience matters. Their battery technology and designs are simply more advanced. The Model 3 has...

I called them. They need haranguing

Nope it’s right on target. Tesla is that far ahead of everyone else on range.

Agreed. I think the challenge with producing an aspirational sports EV is that it remains aspirational for a lot of folks who could swing carrera prices but not Panamera Hybrid Turbo land. This set up is almost exactly like pricing the 911 with 4S, Turbo, Turbo S only Porsche dropped the 4S...

This will be exciting. I’d wager against the current production model S. I don’t doubt Tesla could, but the model 3 has better tech and is lighter. The model S has largely languished.

My wild guess is the 2020 roadster slips to late 2021 (calendar), and costs about 15% more. While being vastly faster with 3x the range. But the interior looks pretty minimalist and if you aren’t happy with Tesla interiors now I wouldn’t expect that to change. There’s going to be a lot of...

it’ll keep up with that gt2rs for a nice stretch at a hefty discount in price. And the price is the same as the panamera hybrid turbo s, only this car is basically better in every way. It doesn’t compare value well to Tesla, but then you’d have to drive a Tesla.

in that case, may I recommend the used 2017+ 911 turbo market ? For her. For an EV, the top spec model 3 is very very nice ....
