You flatter me by posting the typical anti- EV drivel I’ve seen many times before. I have to admit I didn’t read that as I am bored with such nonsense. But let me ask you once more: Please show me an actual full EV that Porsche has. But let me help you out. They don’t have one. Thus they have zero means to criticize a

Oh, So I assume you are then fully aware of the “strength through joy” program, a program that included of one of many things the VW Beetle, a car that Porcshe designed, and where the idea was that everyday germans could save a little at a time and fill up a little book to afford one of these cars but in the end those

Oh- and since you brought up history, I’d suggest looking up the history of Porsche during and before WW2, where they developed military hardware for the German military. I’m pretty sure ole’ Elon wouldn’t exactly want to wipe clean Mr. Ferdinand’s table...

So please show me a current Porsche that is an all EV model, if not... Shut up.

I totally agree. I just find it obnoxious that Porsche, a 70 year old car company would have the gall to criticize a brand new car company that has a product they totally lack. Guess what Porsche, show us an EV and then we'll talk.

You are not understanding my point . Sorry to break it to you but prior to Tesla there was no such thing as a luxury electric sedan. Tesla more or less invented that class of car. Furthermore they did so in just a few short years. In fact , this brings me back to why I responded to begin with. Hello, Porsche doesn’t

In going to guess that you’ve never driven a tesla. I have. The car simply absolutely whips pretty much any other car on the road in outright scorching speed and acceleration. And I have no clue where the idea that the quality is somehow low given that consumer reports gives the model S an almost perfect score.

My point was that the above response claimed “Porsche delivers” whereas this is a story about them being obnoxious even though they don't even have an electric car and now have to play catch up. They more or less have no room to criticize another car company when they don't have a car to even compete with Tesla with.

Porsche doesn't have an electric car. The end

Fuck these clowns. It's more that they simply can't believe a scrappy upstart American company showed their asses to them and now they have to play catch up.

I don’t get your point. It’s not like BMW suddenly decides that oh- well the Americans are incapable of making performance cars (corvettes ) and so we’ll just give them SUVs. Those SUVs are their bread and butter and they sell a shit ton of the things globally. It’s more to do with cost savings and efficiency. let me

My mother in law’s German built VW Jetta has been a huge piece of shit. I’d say that probably a full 1/4 of all people I know who own German cars have had horrendous problems with them. There's a reason why BMW's, Mercedes and audis lose most of their value in 5 years. After 5 years the warranty is done and they

My MIL owns a German built diesel Jetta and it has without a doubt been the biggest POS. Its more that VW builds crappily engineered cars versus where it was stuck together. But I digress. My Chevy Volt was assembled in the US, has 45% US sourced parts and then the rest comes from Japan, Korea, Austria, Italy, Brazil

They really are becoming generic. I live in the SF Bay Area and I swear the things are more like Ford Tauruses in terms of how many there are.

I was going to post a reply that snotty-snot BMW drivers would whine if they found out about this. BMW has been making cars in the US for over 20 years now, and many of those are shipped right back to Germany. Besides, all cars today are stuck together with robots and machines. Its not like a car made by Ze German

That looks slightly less ugly and that's all I can say. Meanwhile the new Prius is so fucking ugly it makes me mad. Mad that there are a shit ton of people in the Bay Area buying the things

1st gear:
Oh they do huh? Probably more like “ Please, oh pretty please forget that we intentionally screwed over 100's of thousands of people with out shitty cars”.

I can think of at least several more worthy things in the world to spend that kind of money on. Like maybe a number of charities or other causes that would be of greater benefit to society versus some piece of stamped steel.

Their site looks like crap. Usually that’s a clue...

Maybe you can read this then.
