Your ‘personal design assistant’ was probably correct. They usually are. And even if they aren’t, we should still heed them.

I’d be happy to test it out if Porsche wants to give me one.

Sadly, the cat got cancer and died at the end of December (thanks, 2020). But he lived an adventurous life. He saw Niagara Falls, Mt Rushmore, the Pacific coast, and more.

Dammit. I miss that cat. And that car. And those seatbelts.

Yes, I slept in my Taycan. In New Mexico, March of 2020. Not in Canada in February. There is no “Camp Mode” and no “Dog Mode”. But you can set up multiple “pre-conditioning” sessions separated by a couple hours. (For some reason I recall that didn’t actually work… it was over a year ago…)...

From my last day with the car.

Refracts the light beautifully.

Truth. Anyone have a spare Taycan they’d like to give me? I promise to put lots of miles on it and love it dearly.

I like art cars. I’ve never owned one, but I like that other people do.

Sounds like it “Worked as designed”.

One person’s beautiful is another person’s ugly. I dislike white cars. I used to dislike black-on-black (my Taycan) I don’t like matte finishes. So what? But what *I* like should have ZERO influence on what You like. Anyone, really

Microfiber cloth, doubled over a few times (so your hand stays far enough away to not activate the capacitive touch) or… You could just wait until the 12v battery fails. sorry… too soon? I’ll show myself out.

A whole new car is certainly more expensive. Oops.

LOL. You are comparing a $150,000 car to a $1.5 million dollar car? Not really fair. I’m not defending BMW’s overall business decisions. I disagree with many directions they go.

A large engine and large wheels would make it a completely different vehicle. Heavy. (A v8 weight vs a 1.5l 3cyl). Bigger. (The 3-cyl barely fits). The more I owned it, the more I loved the “compromises” of the design. My living in Maui was always a “temporary” thing. Unknown number of...

Yup. I had an i8. Loved it. 33,000 miles over 4 years. Drove it cross country (big surprise, right?), drove it for a winter in Maine, had it as my only car when I lived on Maui.

Yup. Every EV I’ve had (since 2012). It’s an easy safety feature. However, it makes “can I tow a trailer with a diesel generator to charge me as I drive?” an impossibility.

Uh. No, that wasn’t an “update” that is called “ripening”. It happens to apples when you leave them on the tree… unless the birds get them… or worms… you don’t have worms, do you?

Driving around the country a year ago I used to get 3 to 5 map updates a day!
