Old Porsche Connect Plus was $189 a year. No one knows if Taycan will have the same or different plan after the complimentary 3 years are up. 

PCM was massively upgraded since the new Panamera, so you missed it. Also Porsche is advertising the 992 as having Wireless CarPlay. So that’s coming in that gen as well.

Sounds like you’re one of the 15 happy Google Music customers. Congrats Neo!  You broke the Matrix. 

Or you could, I don’t know, not use the service? 

Lemme guess. That Chicano Studies Major got you a job at Starbucks. Excellent way to empower your fellow white washed Latinx millennials. -A Latino

I hear North Korea is beautiful this time of year. 

Random anecdote. Wife and I went to test drive an Acura RDX a few years ago and the Acura car sales man talked about his dream of owning a BMW M3 E36 the entire time. I didn’t learn anything from the test drive except that the RDX had a very non-luxury Honda interior, and that our Acura sales guy was never going to…

To be honest I prefer my car loans 30 year fixed. It’s only $50 a month! (For the rest of my life)

Rivian has advertised they will go up to 400 miles on a single charge (not sure how much that drops when towing). Regarding charging once you’re there, that’s a very good question, and can only really be solved by having a robust charging network. So in that regard, the Tesla truck would have a big leg up if you’re…

Rivian R1T will be starting at $69K, Tesla has stated they’re trying to get their truck below $50K. Of course this all yet to be seen, and those are base models, but that’s what they’ve publicly stated regarding price. I think the best way to convert the truck loyalist is to simply win on economics. You may love your…

Tesla is working on a pick-up truck, and Rivian will be producing their pick-up next year.  They may not start out “affordable”, but then again, most pick-ups are being sold at 50K+, so they’ve all gotten expensive at this point.

This is correct. I was interested in buying a CPO 911 in about a year or so. But with the Porsche Taycan coming out next month, and the fact that you can get 10K in Fed/State tax credits, and the fact that an electric car costs about $12 to “fill-up” at home vs. $50 for a tank of premium unleaded in CA, going electric…

Same thing can be said of pretty much any genre, where a latecomer nails the right formula and makes billions off of it. Ala World of Warcraft, and the 30 MMOs that came before it that it “copied”. I’m pretty sure Blizzard feels really bad about how unoriginal they were.

There was a study on fatalities in SUVs vs. cars (sorry I’m forgetting the source) and basically the conclusion was exactly as you stated, you’re still about as likely to die in a SUV, but now the downside is you’re especially likely to die if you’re in a small car getting hit by a big behemoth.  So overall we’re just…

In college I drove a 1994 Corolla.  I can confirm that I would have blown up in that car.  Probably didn’t help that the gas tank leaked too.

We’re going through an escalating SUV Cold War. The first people who bought Hummers started a vicious cycle where everyone else feels less safe on the road with giant 2.5 ton vehicles zooming around. So you either have to buy a big car too or risk getting T boned and your little 2002 Accord literally blows up.

This. I’m not sure how people aren’t understanding how huge of game changer that is. The current model is, you spend $300-$400 for a console, and then on top of that you buy games for $60. The new model is, you spend $100 for a controller and a Chromecast, or just use any computer you have access to for $0 upfront,…

I have a 13” MBP for work and I’m seriously considering the switch to a 12.9” iPad Pro and keyboard. Battery life on MBP is mediocre (seems like Outlook and Google Drive File Stream drains it like crazy) and if I put it in standby it drains to 0% in about a day compared to my iPad that can go a few weeks. Plus I have…

I really doubt it would be full electric based on a Toyota executive’s recent complete denial that electric cars were feasible, all while simultaneous getting pounded from behind by Tesla in sales in the midsize and large luxury sedan segments. I guess they’re too busy making mini vans with 5 foot tall grills to…

Maybe one day Toyota will use that new fangled technology called forced induction instead of using the same slow ass NA V6 that’s been in every Lexus since the late 90’s.
