    What if he gets a lemon ICE car? Back to walking everywhere :CWL:

    Porsche IPO very soon

    I also never invest in individual stocks, but since I own a Taycan I guess you could say I'm already investing in Porsche ;)

    "There's only one customer for electric vehicles" - Article link

    On the power, if the Solar incentives help increase Solar adoption that will help alleviate some of the load on the power grid. I recently installed Solar at my home and it will not only greatly reduce my energy bill and charge my car, but by my calculations, including the tax incentive, it will...

    Had my first EV experience….(Tesla)

    Maybe I'm an outlier but I like the way the media, including the volume adjustment is set up on the Taycan. Of course I do have the passenger screen so when my wife wants to play with the music she can do that very easily from there. I find using either the wheel, my preference when driving, or...

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

    I've had the same experience. Oh, and CarPlay music starts automatically in all of my cars, (Porsche, Acura, Toyota) unless I turn the music off on the phone before shutting down the cars so I'm inclined to believe it is more of a CarPlay "feature" and not something you'd need to worry about in...

    Are we helping in the fight against climate change or just indulging our love of toys (er technology)?

    As @AndiL mentioned, you can generate electricity from renewable sources, recycle batteries, and battery technology is bound to continue to improve. Heck, I have solar panels and generate more than enough electricity to charge my car and I do over 90% of my charging at home. The opinion piece...

    Tesla Responsible for 70% of Driver Assist Crashes

    Tesla Responsible for 70% of Driver Assist Crashes while Tesla has more EVs on the road than anyone, still, the article found that the rate per 1000 vehicles was higher than competitors. That may, at least partially, be because of the way Tesla has promoted "Self-Driving" technology. Personally...

    Is it ethical to purchase a lithium battery powered EV? - Article

    EPA EV Facts and Myths can be useful. Anyone that wants to minimally impact the environment should walk or ride a bicycle ;) Anything else is a matter of the best choice, or least evil choice if you prefer. If this were an EV evangelist-type forum there would likely be a lot of discussions...

    Music on Collection Day

    CarPlay worked for me from the time I picked up my car (set it up at the dealer) and continues to work without issue. Had to relog once after an OTA update, but other than that zero issues with CarPlay :)

    Mach-E

    Hey, I just realized: Taycan -> Lively young horse; Mustang -> American feral horse, maybe they are related somehow ;)

    Mach-E

    https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/07/success/car-and-driver-ev-of-the-year-ford-mustang-mach-e/index.html I found this interesting. I actually don't mind the looks of the Mach-E. I wouldn't get one in lieu of my Taycan, but I like the looks overall, but not so much the interior and there are pretty...
