Challenging times for automobile industry

Norway makes sense as they have a crazy high EV adoption rate. New EVs are already outselling ICEs!

I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but damn, this thing has been beaten with the ugly stick!

one reason for the massive adaption rate there is that the government had been heavily subsidizing the purchase of an EV

Looks like an Escalade and Navigator had an ugly child.

Indeed - wow! The internal screen layout seems to strongly imitate the Taycan! Not a lot of original design thoughts here other than an extra dose of ugly

To be more precise, in Norway electrical cars are currently excempt from all kinds of VAT and customs charges, while combusiton engined cars have allways been heavily taxed.

As a direct comparison...on Porsche.com the starting price for a Taycan is currently 82.700 USD, while the Panamera starts at 88.400 USD.

In Norway the Taycan starts at 777.000 NOK (roughly 90.700 USD) while the Panamera starts at 1.369.900 (roughly 160.000 USD)

This is why I'm about to order a Taycan CT4 myself Well, that and the fact that theres free parking, free tollroads/ferries, less roadtax as well as being allowed to drive in the bus/taxi lanes.

What about this "beast"? It is a lot of EV for $5,000. The damn thing is cheaper than my golf cart -- better range too. Watch out EZGO!
