    Watch collectors - let's talk watches here!

    It also needs charging every day. I don't think the watch is designed to be worn. It's there as a collectors item.

    Watch collectors - let's talk watches here!

    Had this for a few months now and love it. Garmin EPIX 2 + leather strap. Perhaps a bit overkill if you don't do much outdoors stuff, but I really enjoy speedhiking and trail running, especially when living and working abroad. The OLED screen with maps and gpx coordinates makes it less likely...

    Audio / Hi-fi thread

    I'm currently in a foreign land driving a Toyota Yaris. I've done a fair amount of exploring the island I'm on in my glorified go kart. I only ever stream my music. The sound system is perfectly decent, if a little lacking with some vocals. The rear boot door reverberating while cranking the...

    Protest at Porsche Showroom

    These are paid agent provocatuers and they are not even protesting about anything. Someone is paying them to PR their "anarchy" and bury bad news, which is the real target of this activity. Or to get government to pass laws that otherwise would have remain untouched - also for ulterior motives...

    Read from here and into page 8: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/bose-delays.12820/post-190992 After that, that is why this thread was created... The conversation digressed as usual ? The general recommendation is to go with the Audiotec Fischer UP 7DSP along with the...

    Do you have other EV's?

    I've driven a lot of EVs since beginning of this year. My recommendations are: Taycan: obviously. BMW I4 40 M Sport: the closest you can get to replicating the drive of a Taycan, though you will need all the "Pro" options. Less than half the price and wait time. Peugeot e208: yes I know, but...

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

    Sales are down 16% in their biggest market (China) and down 10% in their second biggest market (USA) H1 2022: https://performancedrive.com.au/porsche-sales-up-17-6-in-australia-in-h1-2022-global-down-5-2122/ That is having an impact on valuation, though in fairness practically everything is in...

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

    It's not controversial, it just isn't possible to prove, much like God - which incidentally most religious people believe controls Earth's climate. Therein lies an interesting dichotomy that I won't get into... This NOAA study - so we can be confident it isn't misinformation - shows the planet...

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

    Is this the study you are citing? https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/06/090618143950.htm The scientists concluded CO2 was not "the main trigger" of climate change, but it is intimately linked - possibly because of CO2 stored in glaciers and the sea, where warmer climate sees that CO2...

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

    Ask most (non religious) people in the West this question: What is the single biggest factor behind climate change? Almost everyone says co2. Religious people say God. What almost everyone overlooks is both sides are describing something based on theories. Much of science is theory. Is co2 a...

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

    Why is any species sacred? That's a human concept. I'm not religious (or atheist), but if nature selects a species for extinction, so be it. I think part of the confusion with climate change is it's politicised, corrupted, packaged and sold. This creates scepticism/suspicion that then makes...

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

    My issue with climate change - which absolutely is happening - is the obsession with CO2, where there are far more damaging pollutants that humanity produces, but that get little focus. Climate science is enormously complex and almost impossible to empirically prove anything. However, humanity...

    I'm living and working from there for a month later this month. The Azores is a truly incredible place and not really on the radar. I hope it stays that way.

    If we ever meet, you can have my Taycan. Honest, just take it. It's yours. Have a nice day.

    " ‘the Car You Own Forever’ Era Is Coming to an End" - Article Link

    In the UK, see: JLR Pivotal Care by Volvo ONTO If these cars depreciated heavily into the first two years, a sub might make sense. I use ONTO, but only for temporary reasons. When it comes to the Taycan, we on this forum have looked into various purchase methods. Based on high residuals, most...

    Will MACAN EV look like this?

    Hideous. Like a raised VW Beetle.

    Will MACAN EV look like this?

    In the UK, that "bird" is about as rare as a Taco Bell drivethrough. You can even subscribe to JLR and for £1000 a month, get the latest IPACE HSE that is replaced every six months with a brand new vehicle. Audi e-Tron SUV is more interesting.

    Porsche is turning its mid-engine 718 roadster into an EV by 2025

    Audi have just announced their concept for an A6 Avant e-Tron. Soon the RS6 will go e-Tron and at that point, the Taycan ST has serious competition. I wonder how many of those on a 15-24 month wait will switch to a different EV brand/car in that time...
