I like the writeup, and I’m seeing the arguments I expected to see in the comments as well as some other comments that aren’t arguments (sure, they’re there.)

Reading about the treatment your mother received by that dealer boiled my blood. I’m glad she found restitution but the experience just seemed unbelievably horrible and I’m disgusted by what they did. 

The point is that the vapor reclamation line gets full of fuel PRIOR to tank overflow. Since the nozzle isn’t at the lip of the fill line.

I used to work at a gas station - one of the corporate ones with lots of stations all over the US.

Which part of the exterior design is your least favorite area? I'm going to wait to see what the other trim levels do to try and redirect from the slightly funky rear. 

YESSIR! BROKEN FINGERS DON’T BOTHER ME, I EAT WITH CURLY CHOPSTICKS

I grew up with 10 and 2 but by the time I started driving, steering wheel airbags were a mandated thing. 9 and 3 so they don't break your fingers in a crash. 

So I am getting the vibe that a lot of Jalops didn’t like the square wheel? When I tried it out it seemed fine to me, but I’ve been a 3 and 9 o clock guy forever, and naturally adapted ok. I’m interested to hear if the steering was more globally in disfavour. 

Oh - I’m not trying to argue with you but I did just run into this and felt like I had to say something -
I do own a 3LZ C7, and I test drove a C7 Z51 1LT first. The interior cabin on the Stingray was tolerable, but there were all these cheap hard plastics and looked really out of place for a car that cost as much as…

I’m not trying to oppose your viewpoint that a touchscreen interface might work better there but there is no way for me to determine by feel what button I am pressing on a touchscreen without looking at it. On a set of real buttons I literally just move my hand around getting an idea by touch where to go. It’s slow…

I would agree that you typically get what you pay for. And you’re not wrong about ACDelco.
Although I do see people of nearly all ages (maybe not 65+) showing off in their vettes. 

Assuming you have decent spatial perception and touch sensory understanding, you can still do it by position. I’ve done it on all my real-button cars that way. It works and I’m staring at the road the whole time. Occasionally I need my hand back partway and it takes longer. 

I would actually say that if you factored the button wall rating into the overall car ergonomics and interior experience, it’s much closer to 8.5-9/10. The touchscreen is really good. the Android Auto interface is solid. The configurable dash is good. the HUD is the best I’ve seen so far in a car. The button wall is…

I rented one for 24 hours. The button wall is not ideal, but still superior to any touch screen that takes my eyes off the road.

In the late 2000's I went to see a relatively low miles 04 Acura TSX for 19k, which was about 2k lower than everyone else’s price. I found out why, it was the classic bait and switch with the low asking price and then about 5k of tacked-on added fees and stuff.

I never actually have run out of gas. However, my mother had done, when I was a teenager. I, in my 13 year old scrawny form, pushed the empty tanked car for about a mile and a half with my mother steering down a rather major street in a Phoenix suburb. I’m not sure exactly how I did it. Amazingly, 2 other adults saw a…

I’m just waiting for someone to comment how comparisons to the E-Tron GT will be “Taycan out of context” 

I don’t really disagree with Nathan’s stance, but Boaty McBoatface also happened, so, like, anything’s possible from my viewpoint. But yeah it would probably be a struggle to try and herd 12 million cats together online with keyboard typing only

I wonder how much it would cost per vehicle to break in the engines during assembly? I know some carmakers do this as kind of a poorly kept secret. I just don’t know the cost factors behind it. 

I am simply tired of my parents saying “I don’t remember that” and attempting to get a pass. Abusers need accountability. You can imagine how I feel about bullies.
