Nothing wrong with nostalgia. I'm sure that the same folks who like using a dial-app on their smart phones would appreciate an ICE button on their EVs!
I'm still holding my breath on the headlights. Hard to determine from the pics if the new headlights are just running lights as on the macan ev. My fear is that the lack of nuance on the painted plastic pieces near the air intakes indicates that headlights may be lurking beneath the surface.
Sorry, didn't want to offend. And for sure did not mean to either condone or joke about gun violence. I wrote the post/scene as an intentionally sardonic metaphor to highlight the cultural differences between America and other countries regarding the defense of personal property. As a buddhist...
How about this scene:
NIGHT, SOMEWHERE IN MIDWEST USA, DARK SUBURBAN STREET
Idiot with duffle bag approaches a Taycan. Begins cutting fender to extract headlights.
While cutting fender, idiot glances at the side window and notices a sticker reading: "Vehicle protected by Smith & Wesson."...
AI-generated images pose several significant challenges and have raised concerns in various domains:
Misinformation and Deception: The ability of AI to create highly realistic fake images, videos, and content has the potential to spread misinformation and deceive individuals. These fabricated...
Premature outside tire wear is a function of driving in "stud" mode. Note the serious negative camber (2+ degrees per my tire guy) in the picture above. The Taycan looks badass when fully lowered and it handles even better. The trade-off is that you chew up the outer tread. Best advice is to...
I'd be careful with regard to brushing. Alcantara is just a fancy Italian word for plastic. If you brush it repeatedly you can rest assured that you will be releasing micro-plastics into the cabin. The jury is still out on what the long term effects of breathing, eating, and drinking...
I hit the gas station once a month or so to fill up the wife's Macan. It is a great experience that I miss tremendously as a result of driving a Taycan. For starters, stopping to refill at open air gas stations during periods of cold rainy weather helps build character, and fondling the actual...
I concur! I first saw these things on toyota camries and thought they were just about the dumbest things ever from the land of Godzilla. Now I am seeing them on MB SUVs. And soon on Taycans? Blasphemy. Something else I don't like: the Panamera-esque creases on the fenders.
EA does indeed need to die. I seldom use DC fast charging, but when I do EA chargers never seem to deliver anything close to their rated power output. Example, I stopped at an "Electrify Wal*Mart" last weekend to top off the tank on the way home from a little sojourn. After waiting on Mr...
What??? My Elvis collector plates are worthless? (Sh*t!) Don't be sad, if people are dumb enough to pay a lot of money for something of no real value, I commend Porsche and others for being smart enough to take their money. Car NFTs are just the logical digital extension of what Porsche is...
Little wonder about the camry. They are now "assembled" in Kentucky by "Pillbillies." Hard to focus on the Toyota Production System when workers are jacked up on crystal meth and Mountain Dew.
I don't mean to insult every model that GM has ever produced (I actually owned a Cadillac ELR which I think was a great car for its time -- pity that they only sold about 3000 of them). For sure, GM, Ford etc. know how to make decent cars, but that...

I think that Porsche will be safe, at least for a while, but the likes of Nio and Avatr 12 will cause some serious issues for the likes of Ford and GM. The Chinese EVs are very much tech-forward and doing a great job...
Rest assured, I wouldn't extend AOC (or her radical ilk) the courtesy of urinating in her face even if her mouth was on fire. But the world needs to accept scientific facts sooner rather than later or we may all find ourselves living under a white sky.
Good points, but I'd respectfully disagree with your statement about EVs only symbolically contributing something to the planet. At the very minimum, EVs are keeping the air cleaner. If you don't believe this, sit in your ICE vehicle with the engine running and your garage door closed for a...
