Nobody said it was a new idea. Go back to being an asshole who can actually read.

I am at a loss. Apart from a bright flashing message saying “KEYBOARD HERE, MORON!” I literally cannot conceive of a more obvious way to switch to the keyboard than a button with a picture of a keyboard that is always present in the corner of the screen.

Behold my future car (symbolic pic)

I think the E39 (especially the pictured M5) is the best looking 4-door of all time.

No, we’re all fine. Stre is just a passive-aggresive midwesterner.

Oh, that’s cute. I like the part where it only triggers in a linear fashion, at the top of the RPM range, for a single intake. Now do that for multiple intakes, continuously varying (not just at the top of the range,) and accounting for cross-flow dynamics.

Street bikes have also had desmodromic valves for years. Sure,

If you had written this article 8 years ago I would have found out about it 8 years ago instead of now. All these clicks could have been yours, you really dropped the ball here.

Actually I now like the login screen. The fingerprint recognition is way better than it was on my iPhone 6.

If your complaint had been that they shouldn’t have changed it, or left it as the keyboard by default with the option to use the sketch pad, then whatever. But I’m replying to a comment that specifically asked for it to be more obvious how to fix the thing. So I ask, how could it be more obvious?

There’s a button in the shape of a keyboard that is visible at all times (i.e. you don’t need to scroll over or anything) and it automatically saves your preference to use the keyboard over the sketch pad so just hitting it one time will automatically fix the issue for you permanently.

So it doesn’t surprise you that a car that’s significantly more luxurious and significantly more powerful gets better fuel mileage?

Cayenne is an actual word and not just a name, unlike Cheyenne, so methinks autocorrect is not to blame here.

If the people at Porsche build a car, it’s a Porsche, no? To me that’s like saying because an Audi A3 isn’t as hardcore as an Audi R8 V10 Plus, it’s not a “real” Audi.

Off-topic question: Why do so damn many people (you included) insist on calling it the “Cheyenne”?

The... P1? The... McLaren P1?

Batteries aren’t light. In fact, at the very core of battery tech is the requirement for some metal to be present, and for practical application, lots of it. Thus, you get weight.

Starting with the Cheyenne...

Maybe Volkswagen is reporting accurate MPG figures now?

“Dale’s main premise was that it wasn’t hardcore enough to be a Porsche, and I took issue with that. If the people at Porsche build a car, it’s a Porsche, no? To me that’s like saying because an Audi A3 isn’t as hardcore as an Audi R8 V10 Plus, it’s not a “real” Audi.”
