Welcome to the 2021 Auto market. My local Porsche dealer has three new vehicles on the ground to sell. Not 3 Taycans. Three vehicles TOTAL. And this is the highest volume Porsche dealer in Houston. THREE. Price gouging, markups, etc. are completely common now. Wait if you can.

This. Lucid has flat out stated that their motor size is directly related to the 900v architecture they are using. Remember, higher voltage means lower current which means less wire heating which means smaller wires...the virtuous cycle. I would posit that Porsche is on Gen 1 of their...

I defer to styling until I see the Air or the EQ-S in person but certainly they are off to a poor start based on photos / videos. Sometimes style is worth a little range hit. The EQS is especially disturbing given the minivan-like window just behind the a-pillar and SUPER tall hood. Yuck.

Agreed that the Taycan is least like the others, but disagree that it's a sports car. Taycan - Sporty GT Merc / Lucid - Luxury Sedan Tesla - Luxury Sedan with sporting pretentions.

I hear you. I'm in same boat, although at this point, I'd keep my Model 3 Performance rather than get the GT without the Perf. pack. Enjoy yours!

I will have to watch. Kyle has a great EV perspective and I like his review style. He had many unpleasant things to say about the Plaid, with the exception of the speed.

Interesting to hear your thoughts, thank you. The GT Performance Pack is high on my radar. Reviews dropped yesterday and are very positive, although much of it is due to the Perf. pack seats and magnetic dampers, so that would be a must for me. Please do chime in now and then with your...

It is improving. More like 1.5, closing on 2.0.

Well, most anything is slow after an EV. I rather enjoy my base Macan loaners. I treat them like really nicely appointed Golf R's and drive them accordingly. They do very well on the terrible pavement in the Houston area. The price is pretty horrific, but if you could get a good deal on...

Voodoo is pretty common on the GT cars. It's also a Toyota color.

Ask and ye shall recieve. https://www.mercedes-benz.com/en/vehicles/passenger-cars/g-class/concept-eqg/ Rivian and Hummer look pretty hard core so far. But yeah, cool that a lowly lifted wagon can do this kind of thing.

High 70's / low 80's. Garaged, so no solar load to worry about cabin heat or cooling the batteries.

You don't get it because you live in a country where a wagon (estate) is an acceptable car. Here in the good ole USofA (insert obligatory yee haw!) wagons are lot rocks. Sales death. Unesllable. So how do people sell them? By trying to lamely re-invent them as "softroaders" or some such...

Looks great!

March 2020 Model 3 Performance with latest software.

If you get a discount, IN WRITING, then stick with the '21. Otherwise, wait.

Yikes! Sorry to hear, this is not confidence inspiring.

By far the worst part about any modern Porsche infotainment system is their lack of ability to control tracks / presets decently.

My car just sat in my garage for 23 hours and 55 minutes without losing a single battery percentage. Not plugged in.

That happens to me at home too. And I couldn't understand why at work I'd have zero vampire drain after being there 9 hours. Then it hit me...wifi. I tried turning off wifi at home and boom. No more vampire drain. Like less than 1 mile lost overnight.
