Furthermore, there isn’t anything other than bullshit about range vs. reliability.

But that’s partially because Porsche is not willing to make the trade-off between range and reliability that Tesla is, as contributor Mack Hogan has explained.

So how big was the check from Porsche? 

Taycan whatever they can get away with. Last one out of the Black Forest wins, the loser gets melted down by the old witch. She would have gotten away with it too, if not for those pesky kids. 

Are we sure they didn’t just steal those miles from Porsche?

Your friend sounds like a boomer, too self-absorbed and stupid to plan properly for the future.

My understanding is the “triangular truss” construction is part of the manufacturing efficiency. If you take away the bed portion of the truss, the body will lose a ton of rigidity.

Well, people always said they wanted a utilitarian truck. You can’t get any more utilitarian than that.

People say they want a futuristic car or something out of bladerunner. They say they want something unique but at the end of the day they buy a…
