I thought industry pool testing didn’t allow access to the last section that was required for a complete time? So the 7:23 time couldn’t be a comparable lap to the Taycan?

I feel like we live in a society that glorifies technology to a point where we think that if something is more technologically advanced, it must be automatically better, when in reality, that’s not always true. It reminds me of a conversation I had with a history teacher once about trains. He thought that it was…

Torch has it right. My business partner just bought a Urus. He cross-shopped it with a $100,000 cheaper... Tesla Model X. It’s not about price. It’s about status. You’d think he would have looked at the Bentayga, but it didn’t interest him. (I hope I spelled that right, but I’m not going to Google it, because fuck…

This is a competitor because you not only get the electric powertrain, but you also get a decent car to go with it. The minimalism in a Tesla is nice, but gets a bit old and rough once the car has tens of thousands of miles under its belt.

At least one person with sense.

First off - this thing looks great and is pretty much what I expected from Porsche as their first EV.

No it’s not. It’s a facelift the way the 2015 Cayenne was to the 11-14. Or the 991 to 991.2.

Long story short, you brain isn’t getting as much information with cruise on. Your not consciously aware of your throttle position if you’re not using the ole foot. You’ve literally lost a sense of touch here. Not just racing drivers react to the feel of their cars. Generally most people let off when they feel loss of…

That’s what cruise control does.

I actually tested this in the snow in my 2013 Mazdaspeed 3 back in the day. Driving with cruise control at about 20 mph, swerved side-to-side, I got stability control to kick in easily and it never cancelled cruise control. I’ll have to try it again this winter with my newer vehicles.

I feel like you are arguing semantics on generally good advice. Rainy conditions often require high variability in your speed in order to maintain safe driving conditions. Therefore, in general, the safer option is to not use cruise control in the rain. The title of this article doesn’t really reflect that

this comment is way too buried.

This is criminally under-starred. 

Joule thief!

This is infinitely better than all the people suggesting he get a charger or something.  The man’s been driving a 13 year old camry.  Everything is going to feel like a rocketship.

So a thought im trying to get through my neighbor. Youre 50, its says less a midlife crisis and more that youve made it in life to have a luxury sedan.

Finally, a video that belongs on Deadspin.

Came here to see this reference. Not disappointed.
