We own a Tesla Model Y and I can say this: Tesla makes very convenient and comfortable 4 wheeled appliances that are designed for people who want to do as little work as possible when driving. Which describes the majority of car owners who don't care about cars, the fun of real driving and...

Huh, I think I just spotted the pre production 992 GT3RS tooling around in Costa Mesa ? Caught this morning while I was out running errands in the area.

Anything is possible, all depends on motivations of VAG company execs and internal politics. But remember, Porsche was the company that wouldn't support Android Auto for the LONGEST TIME due to their mistrust of Google data mining from their cars ?

Agreed, much easier to redesign the whole hardware/software integration thing from a clean sheet of paper and without the baggage of having decades of doing it 'the traditional way'. Of course companies like Tesla, Rivian and Lucid have their own software issues as well, basically releasing...

Makes sense, a LOT of customers are waiting for this car, and it's no different from the order deposits many other manufacturers are taking just for customers to get in the queue, I have a $1k (refundable) deposit for a Rivian R1S and not expecting my number to come up for another 3 years at...

One of the many models that appear to be delayed as a result is the upcoming Macan EV. https://www.carscoops.com/2022/07/porsche-delaying-launch-of-electric-macan-by-one-year-new-ev-coming-in-2024/

My supervillain sounding take: 1. Population reduction especially in overcrowded developing nations 2. Drastic reduction of resource consumption (both corporate and population consumption)

Well both, the US has plenty of wide open roads and rich a-holes to feed this market as well (think LA, Miami, Houston, Scottsdale, etc)

Something tells me North America is more the target market for a new full size luxury vehicle.

So after half a year of bracelet wear, I took the bracelet off my GS SLGH009 to change things up and turn it into another strap beast. First with a 19mm Barton brand rubber strap Then with another custom made leather strap with gold deviated stitching courtesy of HD Straps ??

Just pre-ordered one of the new US exclusive limited editions due to come out later this year: https://grandseikogs9club.com/chronicle-9/44gs-hi-beat-gmt-sbgj261-peacock/

Decided to treat myself this weekend and also start building a customer relationship with a local AD that carries mult brands (GS, Omega, JLC, Patek, Rolex, etc) with a cheaper 1st purchase: A GM-2100M metal case Casioak in blue ??

New custom straps arrived for my Seiko Presage SARY159 and GS SBGM241 GMT:

Not yet, I'm waiting on the next green piece that arrives.

Speaking of Casioak, this is my current two watch travel set when I fly, since I can change time zone on both fairly easily.
