    Rented a Model Y

    A good thought because I didn’t even know that was a thing. However no. But the “sprinkler head” mode was on. Trying that off.

    Rented a Model Y

    It continues to test according to spec, and the AC sensor issue doesn't apply to my car. At this point I'm going to grab an IR thermometer and keep it in the car, and try to find the conditions that replicate the issue.

    Rented a Model Y

    Got my car back! I definitely miss the radio in the Tesla.

    Rented a Model Y

    I agree with you, it's not really fair to compare an SUV with a luxury sport sedan. I'm not an SUV guy in general, ever. Even Macans.

    Rented a Model Y

    After a day with the thing... Getting used to the one-pedal-driving. It super-offended me at first but it's already starting to feel normal. It's a lot faster than my base Taycan off the line Really appreciating the seamless radio and increasingly bitter about it. Still can't wait to get back...

    No option.

    Rented a Model Y

    Well my base Taycan has coil suspension too, but it doesn't feel like this thing. As for regen options they are not present at all...apparently a recent-ish change, as my wife's 2018 has regen settings.

    Rented a Model Y

    My Taycan is in the shop so I rented a Model Y from Hertz. I was genuinely curious about how this would go. Do they have chargers on site? At this location the answer is NO, surprisingly! Not even level 2 or 1. They shuttle cars back and forth from the nearest Supercharger to keep them...

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

    Heh. I've never owned a car forever. Longest run I had was my 991 Targa 4S from 2015-2021. And I -loved- that car. Still had to say goodbye sometime.

    Porsche 718 / 983 Boxster / Cayman EV Sports Car Announced For 2025 Launch

    I was planning on ordering a 2023 Taycan in PTS Guards Red, but maybe I should instead just wait for this (the car I really want.)

    "The Middle Of The United States Is An EV Charging Wasteland" - Article

    Dude must be new to the Taycan, failing to understand: 270 is the theoretical max and almost never actually hit Initial SoC matters and greatly affects the charge speed Nobody gets 350kW in any car (yet) even though that's what the station can theoretically provide

    Gravel Truck :(

    Ugh sorry buddy. I've had a windshield on order since the original date of this post back in August...I think I am going to cancel the order as my damage is all very tiny nicks, not actual stars or cracks. At first it bugged me but as the windshield wears down it looks better...it's really...

    Porsche Announces Mission R EV Sports Car Concept

    Obviously this only applies if that oil system makes its way into a consumer version.

    Porsche Announces Mission R EV Sports Car Concept

    Oil system makes it a non-starter for me. Part of the benefit for going EV was getting away from the overly-expensive Porsche service visits, most of which were oil changes or other engine-protection issues like spark plugs, belts etc.

    Porsche Announces Mission R EV Sports Car Concept

    So how long before this becomes a consumer car? 4 years?
