    Electrify America CEO-Elect's Coast-To-Coast Road Trip using EA charging stations - Video

    Not sure why the soon to be CEO of Electrify America is going to "detail many unacceptable charging experiences that many have detailed?" He was documenting his experience on using the charging network he will soon be managing. Why is he going to reference someone who has a charging issue...

    Electrify America CEO-Elect's Coast-To-Coast Road Trip using EA charging stations - Video

    I watched the video earlier today after it popped up in my Youtube feed. Honestly, you have to give the guy credit that he was honest when he ran into sites that had non-functioning chargers - like the one in Cedar City, UT. Which happens to be tied with Grand Junction, CO as my least...

    Does driving a Taycan make one an official EV and/or Porsche brand ambassador?

    I love everything about this post, but times have changed, unfortunately. There is a time and a place for everything, but being a brand ambassador for my Porsche Taycan in a Walmart parking lot is not for me. If there is a kid with a parent who wants to take a look at the car, I am cool to...

    Official: 2024 Macan EV Electric Prototype Specs & First Look (on New PPE EV Platform)

    Yeah, that user name stems from my love of old westerns and Blazing Saddles. I have now hit the mid-50's stage of life where the smallest of organs are refusing to cooperate. I am looking at you prostate!!! The Great Waco Kid. AKA Gene Wilder.

    Official: 2024 Macan EV Electric Prototype Specs & First Look (on New PPE EV Platform)

    An electric Macan will be huge for Porsche. However, big old fat guys like me have no use for a Macan. Give me a fully electric Cayenne that will have near 300 mile range and leverage the charging capabilities being tested in the Macan, and then I am listening. I was kind of impressed with...

    Turmoil at VW: Porsches Postponed by Buggy Software Cost VW’s CEO His Job

    “They should have head-hunted the best people from Silicon Valley,” Schmidt said. “You can’t lead on software with automotive people.” I think this sentence says it all. If you had or have an early VIN Taycan you acutely felt this with the numerous fixes, recalls, or updates. I do have to...

    What everyone should know before they buy an EV

    Good article for newbies. I would add that altering the aerodynamics of the car will reduce range. Putting a bike on top of the car, or a cargo box, will knock off 30% or 40% of range. I would also add that a person should always try to have a back up plan in case the charger you need is...

    Rented a Model Y

    I would rather walk than have anything to do with something associated with Elon Musk.

    Porsche Landjet 2025 "a [7-seat]] EV capable of going about 404 miles on a charge" - article link

    Evidently the future is not being made for people over 6'3!!! Over 1.9 meters, for our metric friends. All these super cool, long range electric cars need low aerodynamic drag, which makes it not so fun on us slightly taller people to get in and out of. I am already boarding on "clown car"...

    Spanish Fork EA chargers and a group of 3 test Hummer EV’

    Not trying to be a jerk, but am I the only one who think those things are ugly monstrocities? Plus, they take up more than one parking space. Leave it up to GM to make something like that. I have done the drive from Green River to SLC many times. It is a fun drive, in little to no traffic...

    Yes please…and thank you.

    Agreed! Would make me hold on to my e-hybrid Cayenne a little longer if I knew I could replace it with a full EV Cayenne version in a couple of years. It they could squeeze 300 to 325 miles out of it then it would the perfect road trip vehicle.
