Good looking car and I bet they'll sell a ton of them... too high off the ground for me, though.

Less Plaid and more Rimac Nevera.

I think that's it. When you have roads and customs built for very high speeds, you can probably acclimate to it - like anything. Being 40 MPH over what I was used to and 45MPH over the road's stated limit, every undulation and divot in the road caused me to become skittish and lose confidence...

Back when it opened for the first time and was practically empty for miles, I did 130 on Route 130, which, as the article notes, is a toll road between Austin and San Antonio with an 85 MPH speed limit, the highest stated speed limit in the country. Worth doing once, but I pretty much scared...

I’m super excited about the eventual GT4/GT4RS versions of the electric Cayman. Hopefully my next car.

A very useful article - and all of it also without mentioning the geopolitical consequences of oil and where it comes from, including many, many unfortunate wars fought to secure oil price stability. I’m not ignorant enough to say battery supplies and lithium/cobalt supplies won’t have their own...

Another dumb EV article. "I don’t know anyone driving a 10-year-old EV. Do you?” Do you have any idea how many EVs were on the road in 2012? Tesla sold 2500 Model S's that year, out of 14.5 million total vehicles sold in the US in that year. No wonder you don't know anyone driving a 2012 EV...

People can be more than one thing. I admire his ambition and work ethic. I don’t know if he’s a genius, or whether it matters if he is, but he’s the driving force behind two of the most exciting and innovative companies in the world, and as a result (for the time being) he’s the richest man in...

Hence the “someday.”

It looks more like "normal" Boxster than I was expecting given the Mission R and a lot of the subsequent renderings that followed. I hope to be in the market someday - especially when they get the weight down.

For someone with an electric vehicle @Tooney you sure do post a lot of “news” sources critical of electric vehicles. Almost like there might be an algorithm feeding them to you….

You’re not alone. I really wanted a Dodge Challenger Hellcat, but Nancy Pelosi forced me to buy a Taycan so she could bail out Porsche someday.

The government, clearly.

This isn't really the place for us to hash out media bias, not that we could if we wanted to, so I won't take your bait. Just pointing out that, in this particular case, it is reasonable to question the intentions of an unabashedly conservative newspaper when it comes to matters like electric...

Articles like this allow people who don't want to think very hard to sort of resign themselves that there's not much they can do... oh well... even though it's hotter than hell outside and there's wildfires and hurricanes everywhere and I've got this cognitive dissonance in my brain because I'm...

They may slow down its rapid destruction, though. No sense in throwing out the good because it's not perfect.

It's about technology and infrastructure. Yes, today they don't want an EV... because they're worried about range and charging times, etc. Solve those problems (and they will be solved... with time and scale) and EVs are a no-brainer because they are objectively superior and more efficient...

every purchase of an EV promotes the mass adoption of EVs. The mass adoption of EVs will have a marked impact on the environment. Your cynicism will not.

All I have to offer is ya know - what existed before mass adoption of the Tesla Model S and what has happened since. But you can’t disprove an alternate history that didn’t exist other than hypothetically.

This is a false logic. Buying an EV to replace an ICE vehicle, even if it created more waste or inefficiency on a short term, net basis, is a long term net gain. It provides confidences in the medium and requires a build out of the infrastructure necessary for mass adoption. As a “car guy” i was...
