The CARB numbers are based on the UDDS (Urban Dynamometer Drive Cycle, or “city” test) only. For EVs this usually gives the longest range, since going faster means more drag losses, while regen makes up for the frequent braking. The EPA figures are calculated based on several test cycles.

Hey honey, remember that time last year I had to go to Lowe’s to get a bag of dirt for the plants on the balcony? Well it’s truck month and I can get a great deal on an F-250 right now.

Which data?

1 turbo = 200 mile range

So he should just turn over a new Leaf every 100 miles?

not exactly, they’re trying to make them drivable all day at the track racing, which is much different to what most people use them for (the average person isn’t hitting 155 MPH 20 times in a row on their way to work)

While I know some people have an illogical range anxiety issue, what are the odds that anyone that buys this car is actually going to drive it 200 miles?

From your link: “There’s a significant chance that when the EPA tests the Taycan Turbo and Turbo S, its numbers could be closer to our estimates or even lower, possibly hovering around 200 miles.”

You fool!  You should have waited for the 15 minute edit window to close!

Couldn’t Porsche just install a larger turbo to increase the range?

So after reading Audi/Porsche marketing materials, you decided to give them a pass.

If owners of sedans can’t find one to replace their current one, they’ll end up with a crossover. Once they experience the additional space, ease of entry, etc., they will be hooked, and the trend will grow even stronger down the road.

You act like all of us (sedan/hatchback owners) haven’t been in a crossover/SUV?

Damn I was she were a real person.

That’s a quite a claim, but wrong regardless. The average buyer is educated and very aware of what is out there..simply put most buyers who do purchase a Focus or Cruz simply buy it because its what they need and it makes sense financially. I am not saying some don’t buy them because its all they can afford, but…

I was kinda like “Okay, o0okay, this is fine”

It probably should, but that’s not what the production company decided on. He kept it in his trailer and only one person seems to have had a problem with that- maybe that should have been enough, but that’s not the decision that was made. On set work is a bit different from normal jobs- if he’s there up to 18 hours a…

You need to go read the crew members account of the bite, it was an accident they were playing rough and he got bit. He went on record saying the bite was really HIS fault. He went on to say he still plays with the dog, Harmon agreed to keep it on a leash or in his trailer instead of loose. Harmon paid his medical…
