Thoughts on the Taycan (long, rambling, possibly non-sensical)

People approach the Taycan as though it's Porsche's Tesla. It's not.. it's a Porsche with an electric drivetrain.

Yep.

It really is a great driving car. And when all the stuff works, its really very good. It has some teething problems and that probably is to be expected. The only thing that is an issue for me- my driving style and driving loops take me out to multiple 150 mile days each week, and they include a lot of highway driving. I drive at 82-90 + mph on the highway and I'm not gonna change that. I also live in cold, shit weather most of the year. So when I add all that up, those factors simply eat range. To be able to meet my driving style and range needs, I need an electric car that gets a true 300 mile range. I say that because I expect that in the cold, and driving at high speeds, it will knock 20% off the 300 mile number. And if I can get a car that can do a true 240 miles of range, that would help quite a bit ( I get about 180 miles of range @ 85% charge - my driving style).
