Based on the I-Pace forums, the EPA testing is closer to reality than WLTP and even the EPA might be a bit generous. I’ve been watching the I-Pace rollout because I was looking to replace the Macan with one, so far I think I might just wait another year.

They are going to be very cautious about announcing electric pickups because a good chunk of their customer base will hold off buying their existing line in anticipation of an electric truck. The adoption and demand curves for electric vehicles has vastly outstripped what manufacturers anticipated.

There are a lot of issues with the tariff system, but to explain them would require more than 1 minute 30 seconds allocated to news topics on the evening news. I would also require a basic understanding economics and international trade. A lot of people know about some of the flashpoint topics, like the “the chicken…

I know that is a Panamera E-something, but it looks like a Macan with those people cutting off the back. If Porsche was to sell a Macan E-something, it would sell like hotcakes. Just a suggestion Porsche, I will take a 911T as payment, because I’m cheap like that.

Unions aside, every company I have worked for has made an active effort to stop employees from discussing salaries. Most would spread anti-union talk, so I don’t really find this at all surprising. The only reason this gets headlines is because it’s Tesla. I mean remember when every major Silicon Valley company…

Kristen your’s is in the mail.

“Into the Badlands” is better than DC’s Legends of Tomorrow and seems to be a show that no one knows about (myself included, until it popped up on Netflix’s recommended a month ago). It’s like Game of Thrones meets post apocalyptic Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. Second season is a little off, but still a great show…

You can take the Lucas out of the vehicle, but the fires of hell remain.

Macans don’t really lose their value. A CPO Macan will cost you about as much as a new Q5. 

I don’t respect the SEC either. It’s largely a toothless institution that relies on an a staff made up of mostly lawyers to achieve fake settlements (i.e. we say we got a $20 million fine, but you only have to pay $10k) with companies in lieu of protracted litigation. 

So what is their JD Power Initial Quality score? 

I’ve had a really good experience with my Incase EO travel backpack. It’s big enough to hold a weeks worth of clothing, laptops, notepads and running shoes or dress shoes. It’s plain, but nice enough looking to mask itself as business bag when compressed.

There is a bit more to this story. It was the Automobile Manufactures Association that pressured the AAA to implement the ban. Part of the rationale was due to marketing. The AMA had written extensive marketing campaigns to sell gas and electric cars to different sexes. The gas cars were being marketed to men as wild…

I want that blue, but not that gauge binnacle... OMG that is hideous. Porsche, you seriously don’t need to move to an all LCD display setup. You had the perfect instrument cluster, literally no one was complaining about needing more digital screen space behind the wheel. Please take it back and fix it, we will forgive…

These comments are like a copy-paste from when the 991 was first shown. In 12 months, people will be fighting over reservation slots for the 992T or whatever special edition Porsche decides to release. My only sore point on this update, is the damn haptic panel center console.

My brother hates cars, is in his mid 30s without a drivers license and continuously watches the old episodes of Top Gear while hitting the refresh button waiting for the new episodes of The Grand Tour. So, I’m pretty sure you’re not in the minority.

If I had to guess, I would guess she is getting her data from this: https://www.newsweek.com/leaked-tv-star-salaries-reveals-big-pay-gap-between-white-and-minority-actors-506585 where she is the lowest paid actor on the list, compared to others.

Yes, it’s not a new story, but there isn’t a history of social constraint against this behavior. I don’t think people appreciate the difference between a nation made up a diverse racial base and one that has minimal interaction with others. Chinese are racist against anyone that isn’t Han, to the point that many…

If you’re a gun friendly community, shouldn’t you need to verify which person waving a gun is the friendly gun user and which is the unfriendly one? I mean I know it’s a little difficult to identify friendly guns, but if you believe that people have the right to defend themselves with guns, it’s a crucial step. You…

The social credit score plays on one of the worst traits in Chinese society, that of your social ‘face’. To Chinese face is everything, in a way westerners cannot fathom, it’s like having a score card that you are born with and eventually die with. Since most people live and die within a community, everyone knows your…
