nobody knows what the real name is. my bet is since the entire lineup will go EV (allegedly) it will just be Macan, and be branded for marketing as "the new electric Macan"

wouldn't be too worried, if you zoom in you can see the exterior temp is 0.5 degrees Celsius (33F) . Definitely eating the range there, but the battery temp is 27C (80F) , and I'd hazard it takes some spirited driving to heat the battery nicely when it's pretty cold out.

having been part of an ISO cert effort for automotive tier 2 manufacturers, I can tell you how absolutely fucking worthless they are for almost anything internal. if you want to have a good quality process, you don't get that from implementing certified ISO 9001. you need management and...

that is the one thing I wish my car had. I bought one off the lot instead of waiting 18 months for my GTS ST order. a minor quibble in the grand scheme since it has most of what I want, but at the end of the day it would be nice. I just told myself one day in the future I'll be able to order a...

yeah weird. would hope they'd spend some time on optimization for the older cars if they're going to push software out to bring that parity. so I have hopes on this update.

Yeah, I'm in consumer electronics and some of the multi week validation tasks I get, in order to prove there's no regression to save 15 cents would blow people's minds. obviously these margin saving things probably save their asses when prices go up and the margin gets eaten into, but at the...

Porsche are idiots when it comes to software - the car itself is amazing. for example...I press the car control quick icon on my center stack, and it takes a full 1-2 seconds to catch up and render the car icon before I can actually tap to change the ride height or drive mode. I can't just...

as someone who works in Silicon Valley in software/hardware and worked in automotive before, the quote is so beyond true, and anyone who says otherwise is clueless. frankly, and I rarely praise them, but only Tesla has figured that out, of any of the major players.

True point on the pricing...but a model Y is 57,000 dollars...

Was a backseat passenger in a 2021 Y LR going from Boston to NY. Miserable. What a dogshit suspension setup also these things are loud as hell inside...WTF Elon

Folks, this is why right to repair is indeed important. That movement alone will not prevent the introduction of subscriptions for features. Which, frankly, I don't see as the end of the world. But it does relate to the ability to own cars that are increasingly software based long term and be...
