    Spotted Macan EV in the wild!

    Wonder if that HUD is the next gen with more AR/VR capabilities and a larger projected screen image - someone posted some early dev pics I think somewhere on the forum, can't recall where.

    Possible 2025 718 EV styling (rendering)

    Looks like they have working vents actually in the bogus mock-up camouflaged front end - can see them open in lower shot but closed on other side - odd unless actuated/testing to mimic real world variable cooling for whatever might go in there - prob a stretch! Doubt anything will look like...

    Possible 2025 718 EV styling (rendering)

    Indeed a very ‘basic’ render but still looks really nice - this render showing a hard top roof - wonder if they’d more likely go soft top to strip off more weight. EDIT - watched vid and question answered :)!

    Electric Flying Car by 2025!

    Yeah you wouldn't want to flip to Sports Plus to impress your passenger and find you just burned 99% of the 10 miles of remaining range either - I'm seeing lawn darts :)!!

    Michelin Pilot Sport EV has got NE0 type approval (for Macan EV)

    +1 Also have a set of these metal guides I actually use myself when taking my wheels on/off - highly recommended - got mine from Suncoast here in US.

    Michelin Pilot Sport EV has got NE0 type approval (for Macan EV)

    Back in mid-2020 you could specify a Summer Hi-perf vs say an All-Season in your build - guessing you can still do the same but possibly different tires depending on local climate? I choose Summer Perf which meant Pirellis in Houston at that time.

    Michelin Pilot Sport EV has got NE0 type approval (for Macan EV)

    Yep same as many delivered Taycans including mine but man they wear VERY fast!

    Michelin Pilot Sport EV has got NE0 type approval (for Macan EV)

    Just an aside, as some may be less familiar, but TireRack always seem to have good info on things like N ratings etc - if you are not aware have a look here (adding a 0 simply refers to the first version of said tire on said vehicle)...

    Michelin Pilot Sport EV has got NE0 type approval (for Macan EV)

    Interesting and encouraging. So whilst the only N labelled EV tire on that site appears to be the 255/45 as you show, the other sizes are supposedly for any EV passenger car/SUV etc. For example the 305's on our 21" wheels - whilst not specifically promoted/recommended by Porsche, this tire...

    Taycan driver wanted after back-to-back hits and run at 3 am in Los Angeles - Video

    Porsche Mission X Electric Hypercar Concept Revealed!

    Apparently they were going to give it to me in their early 2021 version of Volcano Grey Metallic on the configurator :)

    Porsche Mission X Electric Hypercar Concept Revealed!

    Man I both hate and love when they do this - hate the fact I'll almost certainly never be able to afford such a car and love it because it's' ridiculously awesome :)!! I'll go drool somewhere else now.....

    "Jaguar recalling I-Pace EVs - batteries can catch fire"

    Profess ignorance as actually do not know if our Porsche batteries are LG sourced (realize they setup CellForce and also use Draxlmaier Gp. to manufacture but do they still source LG tech/materials)? Obviously with VW named there is a chance that they are? Fairly sure someone on the forum...

    Macan EV Interior Spied Uncovered! + Latest Cold Climate Testing Photos

    Just focusing on two areas - rear upper qtr and side passenger door panels, suspect the rear qtr will look something like this and the side panels might have the Taycan vents - ignore my Frankenstein 30 sec cut and paste job if you can :)!! Given more time or better still, someone with actual...

    BMW XM. What are they thinking?

    Interesting - I'm guessing those that focus on software function (probably quite good) over (external) form!

    BMW XM. What are they thinking?

    New owner sent me a pic of my prior M4 convertible at Red Rocks - def pining a bit for this car - 8 years, a daily driver and not a single issue (seriously!). Design-wise light years ahead of current crop. In Houston: Now in Colorado:

    BMW XM. What are they thinking?

    OMG that is truly BUGLY (butt ugly :)) - really enjoyed the design ethic of my prior M cars (other than bangleisation!) but agree entirely they are now lost to the (Chinese market) wind!!

    Do you have other EV's?

    Great car and a classic color choice - ours - I am both embarrassed and amazed to say - is now just on 18 yrs old (2004) and still goes like a champ with next to nothing but basic service done in all those years. My wife won't let go until the 2024 electric comes along :) These pics from 4+...
