I’m 6'3" mostly legs. That was my gripe about the G-wagon, that car is tiny in the rear seats with me or another big guy up front.

Very true. The current Macan technically starts at $56k, but absolutely no one is going out the door with one for anywhere near that. I’ll be surprised if we see a sub-$100k Macan EV sold within the next 2 years.

Joke’s on you, because the Macan may “start” at $80,450, but the actual “start” button is a $15,000 add-on. If you’ve ever tried to spec out a Porsche you’ll understand.

This car is Mamba Green, which was part of the Taycan’s regular color palette for a few years.

Porsche’s official factory parts catalog the front fenders are each around $500 while the fender liners are upwards of $200.

Stealing entire train cars worth of goods is not petty crime.

Almost everyone who habitually engages in petty crime is poor. Almost no one who is rich is shoplifting or selling drugs on the corner.

The type of organized theft described in the article with suspicion of insider information or involvement is not organized by people on the lower end of the socio-economic scale.

Time to bring back guards with shotguns on trains.

Another teaser article promoting something behind the paywall. Recently gawker is full of these.

Our firm has done business with a number of companies that source from China and they will all tell you that you better either have your own plant, or a full-time quality control team on site if using third party. Whatever specs and formulations you agree to go out the window as soon as the door closes behind you if…

Any surveyor worth a damn knows not to route over a clutch of dragon eggs. Big mistake.

For some clarification, this didn’t happen just because they let the main high voltage battery get to 0%, but because the 12V had died.

Ah, never had to open and jump start a dead Porsche I see. Go look up that procedure, it’s not EV’s making everything more complicated. ICE cars have their share of complications

Same with Tesla, just call roadside assistance, someone will do all this for you and charge you to 20% with a generator

As opposed to what, walking 2 miles with a jerry can ?

May I ask you how long you have been riding motorcycle ? If you think that 85hp is all what you would ever want, I may say you might not have rode enough motorcycle or for long enough. I am not talking 215hp race bikes which are not very usable unless your are on track but 85hp is not plenty in my book, specially on…

From the description I’d say that the DSR/X is more of a “Upright road bike”.

I really want to get behind this but I bought an ADV bike recently and it weighs roughly the same, has roughly the same horsepower, and cost 10k. Of course it doesn’t have the torque and it isn’t as well balanced but it will go 250+ miles between fill-ups and is hands down the most comfortable bike I’ve owned in 30+…

That massive range drop at highway speeds is a powerful lesson in aerodynamics.  As you observed this is best suited for urban use so restyling like the old BMW F650CS with Super Motard style tires and suspension for $5000 less would be a winner
