That may be, though I'd still assume the top speed of the Macan will be less than that of the Taycan. Still, the suggestion that somehow the "SVP of transmissions" pre-ordained it is ridiculous; building something simple and complexifying it in the name of speed is the Porsche ethos, ingrained...

"Huebschen" my eye... The face is just.. incongruent - that wide band in the middle, carrying the headlights, is just tacked on. Not quite BMW-level weird, just .. unfinished. :confused:

Huh: Porsche CEO Jumps Ship for an Electric Car Company (msn.com)

I really liked Lucid and rooted for them to topple Tesla. (You can see where this is going.) That was 3-4 years ago, when their technology was the best in the world, Tesla was in “production hell” and there were no other serious competitors on the horizon. But this guy has gotten stuck in the...

Dear Mr. @Administrator, could I please have my country flag changed to USofA? Many thanks in advance.

“Alfa Romeo Ranks Highest among Premium Brands for First Time” (<- no /s) Dammit, yet another spring of jokes is now extinguished. At least it goes out with one last burn: “quality takes a backseat to innovation” .. and Stellantis brands dominated this round.

I hate you.

You have a cover for your roof box? ? Or, you know, you could 'store' them installed on the car, and leave the roofbox on.. ?

Another option could be looking into a side-mounted garage door opener. You have a high ceiling, it'd be a shame not to install a lift/stacker in there at some point. :) (It would solve your more immediate issue as well, but you can "amortize" the cost with future expenses, too.)

"Has Sir purchased a 918, or a Carrera GT from us in the past - preferably one of each? No? Desolated, we can't accept a deposit at this time.. or at any other time." The CGT was the usual Porsche self-doubting (back then) - they were tired of just winning Le Mans all the time, had an aborted...

They took a major design turn with those 'light elements' (more precisely, a 90* turn). Not sure what's next - we've been through "4 dots in a square", "4 horizontal lines", "4 angled lines in an x". Might need to go the Peugeot/Adidas way and add another row.

Herbert who? Also, one could say that VAG is still not fully arrived into their electric future.

A few points: - valuation is a point-in-time measurement, influenced by just about anything from facts to fantasy; it's also only loosely related to compensation (in general, but very much related to that in tech companies) - the next 3-4 companies by market cap are all purely or mostly software...

This is a bit unfair - tech has enormous margins, whereas auto mfrs - the very best of them - scrape on by with 20%. Further, tech stocks are a huge part of compensation and, aside from Tesla, not many are doing that great in that regard. P911 has shot up, but it's still early - the key is in...

Ack, that's why I said the mid-layers really need to be software people. Towards the very top it tends to be less about the technically-correct questions, and more about business aspects (costs, timeline/promises etc.) Right, that's what I meant as well (but failed to clarify). Tech is still...

To be fair, the problems - in software, at least - rarely originate with, or get solved by the top/head people; some make the wrong strategic bets, but it doesn't seem to be the case at Cariad. They do have a problem of execution, and perhaps an issue with naivety - their aspiration to become a...

I got me one of these: Tire Rack Rolling Tire Storage Rack - it's a bit bulky, and still presents the challenge of lifting wheels for the upper shelf but it's a great product.

Excellent topic, I haven't seen (m)any threads on this. Will watch with interest. Prepare for a salvo from Cpt Obvious, but it (really) depends on your scenarios/intended use. That is, a garage optimized for detailing will look a bit different than one where you rebuild engines (of either kind...

Funnily, reports like yours are exactly what I had in mind - what you call rural NY or FL still have a much higher population density than the areas traversed in this trip (or any cross-country one). (Tidbit: SC pop density is 160/sqmi, CO is 51.) You're right on this: "reason why the most...

Well, it wasn’t a documentary ?. And tbh most of the negative reports we read around here are in densely populated areas (on the coasts) which make x-country trip reports a bit less relatable.
