    Do you have other EV's?

    BTW, cool bike indeed - zero to 60 in 2.6 secs is not exactly a slouch :) Reminds me that I prob need to sell my aging BMW GS 1200 soon!

    Do you have other EV's?

    Nope but will try to be first in the cue for the 2024 Mini Cooper S if it ever gets built!! :) Wife has the ICE version and insists on wanting to replace it with the EV - don't blame her - just worried re supply chain as to when that thing will (if) ever get built and suspect when it does, the...

    Had my first EV experience….(Tesla)

    apparently you have - maybe read the manual ?- in the AC menu, look at top right on main screen - tap ā€˜Rearā€™ then tap ā€˜offā€™! Turns off rear and leaves only front on.

    992 GT3RS sighting?

    This beauty was in my local dealership last March - posted it in my Mods thread then - a little different I know :) Seem to recall it being in the $250K range! The one beside it not too shabby either :)

    Had my first EV experience….(Tesla)

    No experience with Tesla so off my radar - again imo the AC controls are just fine but did take time to be comfortable with. And as both I and @Dee said, I very rarely muck with these at all so just not an issue for me. In regards the rear AC, you can at least turn it off from the front...

    Had my first EV experience….(Tesla)

    I don't disagree re tactile feeling of analog dials/buttons which is exactly what they provide in the steering wheel, but my response addressed your contention that the only volume controls were on the driver's steering wheel leaving the passenger with nothing - clearly incorrect. And in...

    Had my first EV experience….(Tesla)

    and the center screen where AC is displayed has a passenger side +/- volume button set on bottom right, always up front and couldnā€™t be more convenient for the passenger to also control the volume if desired - what were those Porsche engineers thinking!? :) Crap pic but only one to hand; vol...

    Had my first EV experience….(Tesla)

    Have to say despite some initial reservations, I have gotten used to the digital AC controls and TBH do not really adjust airflow that often if at all (the most obvious loss of a tactile input), but mostly fan spend and temp which are readily accessible in one simple interface on lower screen...

    Ha - ditto and you have my empathy :) - got to the pt I could barely watch them play end of last season - not sure I can keep enough fingers crossed for next season which will be yet another learning curve!

    What everyone should know before they buy an EV

    @Hirschaj I think the section introduction I copied in below from your article is really misleading and/or incorrect - using a mobile EVSE overnight is FAR from an 'absolute worse case' scenario and no different from using many 'destination' charger options out there nor for that mater from...

    Porsche 718 / 983 Boxster / Cayman EV Sports Car Announced For 2025 Launch

    Crap thatā€™s awesome - it would be amazing if they released a fixed and convertible top from the get go but prob a stretch! Iā€™ll bet the car wonā€™t be too far off the images shown here too (the convertible rendering a bit imaginative though :)).

    Frozen cars delivered to Russia

    Crazy :) Made that boat quite a bit more top heavy too!

    Premium EV sales in China - HiPhi X tops all - including Taycan - Article and Video

    Impressive list of features rel to price point - competition in this space about to explode I suspect - oddly, did I miss it but no mention of range, battery architecture or charging times etc? Not my cup o' tea but would appeal to a lot of multi-kid families I guess - interior quality looks...

    "Porsche Will Now Sell You a $500 Bedroom Poster of Your Own Car" Article

    Well actually there are a ton of companies out there that will take any pic you give them and dye/print onto glass or metal for a lot less :) - no doubt a big range in price depending on size of print etc Couple examples: https://www.metalprints.com/ordering/product/exhibit-mount-metalprint...

    Gravel Truck :(

    Bad luck indeed - not cool and unfortunately increasing common it seems with the endless construction sites all over the Houston area!

    Hongqi

    Indeed - wow! The internal screen layout seems to strongly imitate the Taycan! Not a lot of original design thoughts here other than an extra dose of ugly :)

    New York State passes new law: zero emissions vehicles required by 2035

    Man, the hot air in this thread might be enough to tip the balance for climate change :)! The oceans are carbon sinks - yes indeed the oceans, their cirulation patterns and temperature profiles, and as you mention, their interface with the atmosphere, are critical components and by far arguably...

    Garage Floor Coatings

    Zero in 7 years in extremely humid Houston :) - youā€™d have to have some quite an unusual setup to worry about this I.e. standing water / bad drainage, bad airflow, etc etc
