Out of curiousity, I instructed ChatGPT to make the Purosangue into a more aerodynamic design, suitable for an EV, and redesign the dash such that it was more like a modern 911 and less like something from Toyota. Ferarri could have saved a lot of time and money had they relied on AI rather...
In my humble opinion, the Luce exterior does not quite qualify as "fugly" but it is anything other than badass automotive design. The interior, well, it is just stupid. Give me 10 minutes with ChatGPT and I could do better on both the inside and outside of this car. On the bright side, the...
I concur 100% that it has to do with the driver. I've never had issues with either passengers or me getting carsick because (at least I like to think) I am so smoooth piloting my Taycan. But when driving a Taycan around the track at PEC Atlanta, I made myself very, very nauseated -- so much so...
I just told my wife that some rich guy posted an image of a hook for a charging cable, but that it was far too expensive. (And most importantly would involve far to much effort on my part to install.)
Based upon recommendations from Tom M. (one of the former guests on the InsideEVs podcast who spent way too much time reviewing chargers), I bought a Grizzl-e charger. I've had it 4+ years, no issues. Best part is that it came with a 25 foot cable so I can charge all three EVs in the garage...
You need to visit a PEC! They encourage you to push the Taycan to its limits, and if you do have a little fender bender, they limit your out of pocket exposure to $5K. Best of all, no crash gets reported to your insurance company.
Agree with Argree! I recently bought my wife the Macan EV with 295 "fatties" on the rear wheels, and while the car is just about the only SUV that is both fun to drive -- and not embarrassing to be seen driving (I'm totally anti-ICE for purely environmental, not political, reasons), the...
I have done full-blown sound deadening everywhere, including the wheel wells. For the wells, I removed the liners and applied Resonix CLD inside the fenders (basically wherever I could reach). I then applied 3M Thinsulate to the inside of the liners. Even with 21 inch GoodYear's (which I...
Finally saw one of these in the wild. With all due respect to MFK, it does not look all that good in person. The fact that the spoiler was fully activated as this dude was driving 3 mph through a parking lot certainly did not help matters.
I do the same and I really love driving different Porsches (for free) during minor recalls/routine service visits. Most recently, my dealer gave me a Macan EV loaner while they replaced my gravel-filled front fans (for free of course). After a couple hours in the Macan EV, my wife finally let...
Try adding some sex into the equation, e.g. DIY AutoErotica (for an obscene shine), G-Spot Ceramics (for the wet look), KY C-Lube (to make the old gal virgin), etc.
How about "G-Spot Ceramics"? Implies a slick, wet look and pays tribute to the GTech name. Sexist as can be, but your target...
Sergy! Check your electricity rates. I have a sales rep living in Indy who drives an EV (Tesla unfortunately) and I paid to have a wall charger installed on a separate meter in her garage. The result is that her Indy utility company sells her juice, overnight, at the special EV rate of...
Just more anti-EV tripe, compliments of the fossil fuel industry. How about a study comparing/contrasting the dangers of inhaling random environmental dust that might be kicked up by an EV charger fan vs. the dangers of inhaling known toxic hydrocarbons (e.g. benzene, toluene, etc.) while...
I concur. Resonix is the best CLD. I highly recommend the "light" version for the door panels so as to minimize the chance of door sag over time. I've done literally the entire car with a combination of Resonix CLD and 3M Thinsulate (best purchased from Vanlife Outfitters). The improvement...
I might be wrong as it has been a minute since porsche swapped out my American rear end for a Euro rear end, but I think they had to take off the dull plastic as well as the painted bumper cover above it. This does not mean that you could not replace just the dull plastic, but my guess is that...
A word of friendly advice to my Taycan brethren throughout the world: When Donald J. Trump indicates that he is going to do something that sounds absolutely illogical, take him at his word.
