towing is _NOT_ the issue - range while towing is the issue…this is pretty meaningless without range impact disclosures.
there is no question EV's can be great tow vehicles from a torque/power perspective, but range while towing take a dramatic (50%) hit - and fast charging while towing is a...
having owned a Tesla X (P100D) I agree - comparing a Tesla SUV (X or Y) to any other SUV is hands down better - the low CG and acceleration outcall virtually ALL SUV's at any price.
so first off I was wrong - it's 60k not 50k - but still
honest question: what car would you choose instead of a Model 3 $60k? I know there are cheaper 4 door sedans, but nothing quite as quick or functional as a Model 3 - please nothing that takes more than 5 seconds 0-60…
what are you...
it grows on you - it still has issues but it grows on you - it also helps if you compare it at 50k out the door to anything else for similar price for 50k…charging/range is less of an issue when charging at home every night - public charging isn't a thing unless you're road tripping.
for the...
regen on the Tesla can be "lessned" but not turned off - I"ve also found you get used to it - not unlike the engine braking I experienced with my rental car stick shift in iceland for the past 8 days
but to each their own - you have to live with an EV for longer period of time before Tesla's...
also note VW's software leadership company - can't keep their website functional - this is not a good look for a world class software effort - this will take YEARS to clean up - decades maybe.
Not the website - but the overall software approach - but when you see little details like this - and...
from the Cardid website
OMG - they are sooooo doomed - ISO 9001 and software - ROFL - that's supply chain physical component thinking - they are sooooo screwed - Tesla will continue to run circles around them.

Porsche is as good at software as Tesla is at mechanical engineering
Tesla is as good at Software as Porsche is at mechnical engineering
guess which one will matter more in the future.
Porsche makes a great car, but a mediocre EV
Tesla makes a great...
all vehicles should pay road tax based on miles driven + weight - that way a gas car will pay the same road tax as a EV - and leave the taxes out of the 'fuels' - at least that's my opinion…
as a driving profile option that can be configured I'm not sure what the objection is. It's all just software - Porsche could make it part of the "drive mode" selection and the owner could turn it on/off as their personal perference's dictate
honestly they have everything they need with their...
porsche should and could add this - but it must be optional - one pedal drive is great for around town - terrible for any track/spirited driving - so it must be optional if they were to add it
road noise is worse, but honestly ride quality isn't that much worse (or even better) than other SUV's in similar price range - not a lux vehicle ride no question, but honestly have to compare the 3/Y to similiar cars of similar class/price/size - rode in a CRV the other day - wow sooo bad - I...
need to compare the Y to other mid sized SUV's not premium lux sports sedan's
one pedal driving isn't so bad once you get used to it
suspension can be fixed with $5k after market - actually makes it world class
I'll take a Y over most any $55k SUV ICE - just for the EV drive train - spend...
