I'm So jealous. I don't know what's up with my car, but I can never get >65kWh on 30mins of charging. I've used multiple EA stations. Sometimes at 3 in the AM when I'm the only one there. Doesn't matter if I start when my SOC is <10% or 30%. Sometimes it will start fast (265kw), but then...
Still a rip off. Even at shop labor rate. It Doesn't take more than 1 hour to do all the checks since it's all visual. They don't even remove the wheels.
Changing the brake fluid would also take less than 1 hour for any competent mechanic.
My dealer wanted $1500.
If you're worried, get a brake fluid tester from amazon. They're only $15. It'll tell you right away if you need to flush your brake fluid or not. Most likely you won't need to..
This is because Porsches are designed for you to engage with the car. If the car fixes itself, then it with rob you of the joy of interacting and bonding with your taycan.
The thing is, 1000hp is not special anymore. Hence Mercedes is coming out with a 2000hp car. That's my whole argument. There has to be some limit to this hp race.
And it's not even about being popular, but rather that it's available at all. Because if a 2000hp car is available, at some...
The entire Model S line got killed because it's a 100k car that still looks like the same car that was released in 2012. There are lots of options now in the 100k range and people that spend 100k wants the newer shinier thing.
Its not just the speed limit, but how fast the car can accelerate and lose control.
Laws only punish after the fact and may dissuade bad behavior, it doesn't prevents it.
With EVs becoming cheaper and more advance, it's only a matter of time before 1500+ hp becomes the standard. I'm not...
I'm not saying that only the super rich can be trusted with horsepower, but rather that once car depreciate, more people will have access to it.
Personally I think there should be different license class for different horsepower levels. Also there should be a HP cap on a street car. If...
That's my point, I think the Model S plaids are too fast for the street also. I don't trust my fellow driver with 1000+HP cars with instant torque.
Cheap motorcycle and superbikes are more likely to injure the rider, whereas 5000+ lbs cars with 1000+ HP can be a real danger to the public.
As...
This is going to be an unpopular opinion, but I think we need to stop with this Horsepower war. 1000-2000hp is just plain ridiculous for street use. I would argue that it's dangerous. Especially once it depreciates and hits the second hand market.
