I still buy from and recommend CarMax, but they will sell cars with obvious damage unless it is documented frame/flood damage. They will not reveal any of their findings other than in the price as compared to like-for-like cars (not a lot of data for Taycans). You can push them to do a full...

Would suggest you try to measure unweighted (dBZ). The A-weighting filter heavily discounts the road noise frequency range, despite the fact that it is obviously annoying to the ear. Your comparison to the S-Class will show an even wider gulf with dBZ which will more accurately describe the...

US Pedestrian fatalities are at a 41 year high. Traffic fatalities have also spiked in recent years, at a time when they are down in the rest of the industrialized world.

Kid drinks, drives at violent speeds and almost kills his passengers and who knows who else using the road. Wish we had appropriate legal consequences in the US.

A lot of EVs I've tested have made this annoying low pitched sound. My wife doesn't notice it. I can't stand it. Sedans with the sealed off rear are inherently quieter. Also FWIW, BMWS I have driven have better NVH than equivalent Porsche cars. That includes the i4 against the Taycan sedan...

I get it though. The battery is ~$40k, and also the environmental aspect of wanting to make it last as long as possible or yourself, or the future owner.

Set it up on a jack in your in-home garage with floor to ceiling glass, put it into reverse and place a rock on the accelerator pedal. Should also take miles off of the odometer.

EA doesn't charge idle fees because their software is too incompetent to correctly assign them. So many sessions that are hundreds of hours long because the stupid system thinks cars are still connected. Rude = leaving your car sitting past 100% when infrastructure is so limited. Nothing even...

I've owned 6-7 CarPlay vehicles and over time grew to really dislike it. It seems like I am always diagnosing connection issues at the worst times. I just want to get in and drive. As Anonymouse said the design of the UI looks out of place on a car dash. Something about the colorfulness of it...

All of this x100. You just don’t know until you’ve owned both Tesla and CCS cars.

I feel inner ear pressure when accelerating in EVs, though it doesn't lead to sickness. Nothing like that from gas cars, even fast ones.

That's just excessive. I had been under the impression that one reason to pay so much for a Porsche is to avoid such inconveniences. Does Macau have any consumer law that dictates battery warranties and/or reasonable repair times? Since they can't fix it in a reasonable timeframe, maybe they...

Seriously considered a Taycan several times over the past two years, never owned one though numerous other EVs. I went back to gas, it that counts? I’ll be back in an EV when the kinks are worked out.

Dealer won't fix it for him though.

This has to be one of the dumbest Youtube niches there is.

Is the double-paned glass on the rear windows as well? Typically there is some variability among cars. My ICE car has it on all 4 windows and it makes cruising at 85 so enjoyable. Regardless, do not skimp on glass in a car this expensive! The three Taycans I tested did not have it, and the road...

Hmmm. Well I’ve never had a suspension creak in any EV, and so many ICEV are incredibly quiet these days. I wonder what the issue might be.

Firestone did this to my wife’s sports car too. They were out for 20 minutes driving “for the TPMS” after a repair patch. No permission whatsoever. Absolutely absurd.

Is that not normal everyday driving? I feel that a well-maintained car should not have a creaking suspension, especially a new car.

The first video sounded like the motor/inverter. The concrete wall is amplifying it a little. Normal, but I am not a fan of that sound.
