Ok. Fair enough. 🤣

Agree to disagree. 🙂

I think it is a button for mute. 🙂

Attachment is broken. At least for me. I saw the 1/25 thing also the other day. I signed up for the newsletter to keep up, even though I’m not in the market for a new vehicle.

Actually, something else I find interesting, I remember a base Cayman being around $60k when they come out in 2006 because I was looking at them at the time. But they aren’t much more now. So, I looked at it closer and the base Cayman has increased 16% from 2006 to 2024 while the base 911...

Yeah, they’ve got that one figured out, for sure. I was just reading about a coffee table book some owners can buy detailing the production of their car for $1800. And I thought, “yes, I need that too” It think it’s just GT cars from what I’ve read. Not sure.

Google says 2001 911 C4 MSRP is $72k. Comparing MSRP to MSRP, it’s almost 70% increase.

Torque is proportional to current. My guess is the battery current was the limiting factor and the 2-speed gearbox was required to get more torque at low speed. I could be wrong, but that’s been my guess. We’ll see where they go from here.

I would say the VFD is smarter. Inverter is a part of the VFD. In large modular drive systems, it’s a separately replaceable component. Sometimes several in parallel for high current applications running off of a single controller. As an aside, you can’t regulate speed and torque. I don’t...

An inverter just changes DC to AC. Opposite of a rectifier. Easy peasy.

Go go gadget arms.

Speaking from a place of ignorance on batteries, at the point they have switches, would they not be able to leave the higher voltage section open, only charging the lower one, until they equalize?

Oh, well I thought maybe you meant the very narrow domain of EV batteries. I don’t if anyone else is doing it that way yet.

I don’t know if it’s novel of not, but I think it makes a lot more sense than the converter.

Sounds like the 400VDC converter is going away.

You’d be hard pressed to find anyone more critical of the current state of infrastructure than me as I won’t even consider participating in its current state. But the idea that the cars are useless because of that is silly. I have a car with almost 20k miles that I’ve never once needed to...

Oh, let’s start a Taycan Forum band! ? I have a Taycan parody of “How Far I’ll Go” from Moana See the line where there’s no SoC? It calls me And no one knows How far it goes If my car can recharge down the hill While I’m driving One day I’ll know How far I’ll go

I have kids. I use them to remove the snow. ❄️❄️

What time period period/area/genre/instrument? I was 2000s St. Louis Punk (mostly punk). Guitar/drums/vocals.
