429hp vs 616hp. Not quite 50% more power.
the transmission will still kick down, but it’s unusual since you just don’t need more power very often. I also use the chrono sport dial on the steering wheel to change modes regularly if I anticipate wanting a little more vigor ….
My fundamental problem with driving Tesla is they are designed by people who want computers to drive. Anyone who says Tesla steering is good … like i can’t even. It’s some of the most numb and over digitalized electric steering I have ever experienced including a host of rentals and econo...
Anyway, no, a refreshed Taycan will come out after the macan launch. Porsche is an SUV company with a motorsports division. They won’t risk messing up the macan EV. It’s nearly existential

The Cayenne could easier do taycan levels and slot above a...

batteries are never going to be swapped quickly
first, batteries are becoming structural chassis elements, as Tesla is showing. This offers significant weight savings and is much much more valuable to performance than hot swappable batteries.
second, the improvements to charging architecture...
didn’t say you couldn’t. But if the national dealer doesn’t have a lonely allocation without a local customer right now, your deposit for their waitlist isn’t likely to help all that much without a relationship. You’re going to be at the bottom of the list compared to any local customer unless...
If there are more customers than cars, somebody has to lose. Dealers generally prioritize long term customers by the amount of business they’ve done, local customers who may service their vehicle, and of course ADM.
That doesn’t mean you always get what you want. The VIPs in major...
