    Would you consider a Hydrogen Fuel cell car?

    pure H2 is enormously difficult to handle safely - even more volitile than gasoline or NG/Propane H2 = invisible, oderless, and extremely volatile and has to be delivered in condensed liquified or highly pressureized gas to have meaningful energy content what could possibly go wrongā€¦ this...

    Would you consider a Hydrogen Fuel cell car?

    I like the idea of hydrogen because it consolidates the emission to single points where it may be easier to sequester/cleanup/adjust/fix - rather than 100ā€™s of millions of tail pipes - so there is some advantage - and there is an actual need for high density portable chemical energy (like fossil...

    Would you consider a Hydrogen Fuel cell car?

    Hydrogen is a fossil fuel play - pure and simple and keeps the fossil fuel industries business model completely intact - it simply move the emissions to the refinery away from the ICE engine - I donā€™t think we need 100% EV - we can keep fossil fuels ā€œin playā€ but reduce their usage - and...

    Rivian R1T early review

    date on the review is Oct. 2020 - itā€™s a great review - but some of the information in it is now dated - I thought I had read all this before and now that I see the date - yeah - I do not believe Rivian has shipped anything yet and continues to miss self identified dates - great promise - so...

    Hello ladies?

    I've been a geek my entire life - but in that time I've learned that technology with high spouse approval is a technology worth pursuing and watching - I've only encountered a few technologies that had immediate spouse approvalā€¦ TiVo - wife loved watching things "off schedule" without the...

    Hello ladies?

    :D women, porsche, EV, and an Internet forum women are welcome, but my experience has been limited participation - they tend to have better things to do and show better judgement to avoid wasting their time on Internet forums.

    First official Macan BEV photos

    FWD = Falcon Wing Doors we recently sold our ā€˜17 Model X P100D after 50,000 trouble free miles, but wife didnā€™t want another X due to lack of evolution and she grew tired of being a ā€œpublic spectacleā€ even time we opend the FWDā€™sā€¦ we replaced it with a much more reliable/tranditional brand -...

    Yes please…and thank you.

    whoops my bad - will not share Taycan/Audi-GT platform https://www.autoweek.com/news/green-cars/a36040324/porsche-cayenne-going-electric/

    Yes please…and thank you.

    article suggest same platform as Taycan/eTron GT - I'd also suggest same battery and capacity... 300 would be hard for an SUV with only 93 kWh battery without some major improvements in efficiency I'd be happy with a solid 250 miles - which matches my current Model X - and as long as it...

    a manufacturer that doesn’t have 12V battery issues

    this is sooooo coolā€¦ https://github.com/tanyafish/parachute/blob/main/The%20Parachute%20Message.pdf it gives me hope that Porsche can eventually fix the Taycan issues.

    They either misspent most of it or they have been had... but the investment Porsche makes on electronics does not correspond with the results !

    software is hard - business is changing - and you can't expect every investment in new directions to be as ROI stable as a 100 year old business remember guys this is all new to a lot of the world - Tesla, Apple, Google, Facebook, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon, Oracle all spent decades to produce...
