porsche taycan reveal

On the waitlist for it, but the initial price (for the Turbo) was WAY too high. Dealer told me I can keep my spot in line and can just order the regular S when it comes out so I think that's what I'm going to do. Was also looking at a Model S Tesla, but I think this looks WAY better.

Local dealer got one in to show. My buddy and I are test driving it this Tuesday. Cissed. He is on waiting list.

So if you charge this battery to 90% then you only get 180mi of range...compared to a Model S at 335mi (90% of the 373)...

this is laughable

And if it's windy and cold you'll get 100 miles and then if you drive it like a Porsche on top of that ...

I hope Tesla tries to push it to 500 miles with new models but unfortunately it looks like they'll be chasing Porsche on performance.

I put it like this, porshe needs to redesign it with that new lithium battery they just invented and lower the price.... then they can get up there with tesla...

Which one?

Every 3 months there's a new article about a breakthrough battery technology that's never going to happen. Or in the best case scenario is 15-20 years away from even making it out of a lab.

I saw that one too, just another one in a long line of research papers hyped up by media with sensationalized titles

Sulphur, graphene, zinc, solid-state

They are shooting for both range and performance. Just look at the Cybertruck. They are promising 500mi and a 2.9 0-60 on the top model. Think of what that battery and drive train will get you on S, 3, & X...
