Demo cars should be in for november. I’d never do that. I was very close to pulling the trigger on a Model S in 2013. But the test drive killed my interest.

What most people don't know or not think about in this rEVolution is the fact that brushless electric motors is AT LEAST as important as new battery technology! They are way more efficient (especially when brushed motors get old and burned) and long lasting than brushed motors. And powerful...

Great stuff! The lower air intake looks quite different.

This was new to me... they made prototype electric Boxsters back in 2011: https://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/car-technology/news/a2391/porsche-boxster-e-prototypes-22289/ So apparently they've been looking at EVs for a good while...

Yup! Raek, we’re all weirdoes here! Stick to those forums you like better! Bye bye!

Actually the 0-100 time should be, at least eventually, on par with Tesla. Electric is super responsive. And with 4wd and good tires you can get the power down. So my guess is 2.5 - 3 secs. Tesla MS L: 2.3 secs https://www.zeroto60times.com/vehicle-make/tesla-0-60-mph-times/ It’s approx 2,2...

918 Spyder did it under 7 mins: https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/g6413/nurburgring-lap-records/ From what I’ve seen so far I don’t buy those claims at all...

Which one? :D

In Norway they just hired an «E-Performance Manager». Talked to a seller recently and the only info he had that I didn’t have was that the first version (sedan) will not have the option of a tow hook.

So the 19% "tax" is the VAT in Germany? If we say EUR 85.000 for the base model. Including 19% german VAT. Then that's a price in Norway of approx NOK 690.000. The base model Audi e-Tron here is NOK 650.000. Both being in the VAG group I bet they will put a markant gap to the Taycan base...

Ionity are building a network of charging stations (the company is funded by Porsche/VAG, Ford and others). They offer up to 350 kW charge rates with liquid cooled charge cables. Ionity are "open source" with CCS plugs, so any brand can stop and pay for charge at their stations. The car itself...

Are there any taxes on cars in Germany PAG_J1? VAT is how much? Are the tire dimensions set yet btw?

Ouch! This one is even WITHOUT the charger itself: http://content3.eu.porsche.com/prod/pag/tequipment/TeqFinder.nsf/TeqFinder?ReadForm&ma=RDW%20(LL)&co=65&sp=1&ba=Panamera&bt=G2&mo=&ka=&kiosk=&ac=product&pr=15CB6523F0388813C1257CF3004646B9&lspr=5529634B04B99745C1257E61005A2AC2$Panamera$G2$ NOK...

Reduced power mode after 3 mins... (overheating) https://www.quora.com/When-will-we-see-a-Nurburgring-lap-time-for-the-Tesla-Model-S Taycan, my bet: 7 min 15 secs
