As a power train engineer, I made it through half of his speech before I could feel brain cells disappearing. FFS I’m going to my cabin in the woods, I’ll be back around Janurary 2021.

Great David vs Goliath story, except it isn’t clear which is which. Tesla now sells more cars than Porsche. Porsche has been around a long time and makes vast amounts of money selling cars. Tesla, not so much. But Tesla is the Goliath of EV production while Porsche is the startup.

Whoa, what are you smoking? The Karma is a beautiful car, especially in person

1. They ran with other traffic in testing which is standard. They did reserve the track when they ran in the official timing sessions.

You’ve got to give Tesla credit. They mobilized the shit out of this effort

Why wouldn’t they reuse buyback cars? Gotta save money somewhere right?

I saw a rumor that one of the cars they brought for testing was a buyback, so... maybe?

The most impressive thing about the whole endeavour would actually be legally building a supercharger within less than two weeks.

Simple answer: Telsa have been doing electric cars a LOT longer than anyone else and testing the crap out of them, pushing their own cars to their limits hence, their engineers know how to ring (pardon the pun) the most out of them. Porsche et. al. are very, very new at this.

We’ll know that Porsche has decided to go “all-in” on this pissing match when they introduce this upgrade:

So that’s how they broke the record. Carpool lane.

Recall umpteen years ago, like 2015, when the Republican Party loved to claim they were the small gov party that holds the states’ rights are not to be trampled? That was before American Hitler took over the Repubs.

The party of states’ rights strikes again...

I 100% guarantee someone at Porsche overheard a radio squawk and sent the Taycan out. Somebody in marketing is getting a little extra wurst in their stocking this Christmas.

I have no clue what your point was supposed to be here.

9/20/19

I don’t own a Tesla and in fact i’m fairly close to being a Porsche fanboy.

9/20/19

You know someone at Porsche was like “Hey the Tesla has broken down! Quick send out a Taycan”!
