For sure there is a flaw with your car. They damn sure better "goodwill" this as you could have lemon lawed the car.

This one looks production ready. Those side air intakes are maybe for rear wheel air curtains.

Stuff a sock in there and call it a day!

It will exist. Audi has already said so a few months prior. I bet there is a release within 10 months. I also think the vehicle will knock everyone's socks off so long as Porsche uses the proper architecture and battery tech this sucker can come at no weight gain versus the retired 718. A...

Judging from the wheels & tires that sucker is RWD which makes me happy. A front motor would have a negative effect on the fun to drive quotient.

718 EV Boxster man!

Retooling needs more than a week.

I wouldn't judge this vehicle based on the bodywork. That's just disguise while systems testing.The huge air intakes up front won't be required for an EV.

Seven years of battery energy density improvements + super light pancake motors and the car weighs 10% more than a Taycan. Doesn't feel like progress to me.

Also 718 Boxster/Cayman killed because they wouldn't comply with EU cyber standards. Seems like that's something that could be done in 6 months at some companies like Tesla or pick your Chinese maker.

Your cost structure is also lower when you don't have to pay designers to create a design, rather you copy the competitor's design. It helps when much of your software cost is jailbroken. I could do this all day. When benchmarking services do their deed on Chinese vehicles typical finding is...

Instead of paying $5-13k to avoid brake dust why not earmark $50/week for a nice hand wash plus the remainder of car is clean. Break even at 100 - 260 weeks.

If an OTA is not so much a fix but is an improvement are the makers getting dinged as that is a "recall" or "problem"? For example my former Rivian had an OTA that improved throttle control while reversing and another that improved ride over bumps. Are those dings?

The cells are CATL which is probably the gold standard. CATL has 40%+ gloabl market share and I can't recall a major issue with their cells. LG had issues with Chevy & Porsche. Sunwoda with Volvo/Zeekr. SK with VW.

There's a Chinese company offering BMW i3 replacement packs with modern CATL prismatic cells. The packs have about 50% more capacity than the largest capacity pack offered by BMW and the pack is about USD6,300 + freight, duties, etc. I can see the same happening for Taycan packs. Maybe even...

Where can these batteries be sourced? The best I've seen for automobiles are semi-solid state batteries made by WeLion (pouch cells) and now CATL (titanium cased prismatic cells) with their new Qilin Condensed. These makers cells result in packs 20% heavier than what you state which is still a...

In regards to reliability "Porsche" data is not "Taycan" data. Who here is willing to argue the Taycan is not sucking hind tit in the Porsche lineup?

The poor EV reliability and poor service thing is not an industry issue rather more a Porsche issue. I had a Chevy EV and my wife a Cadillac EV and both never needed a repair or even a service. Software always worked. I had a Rivian that needed one service and that was done by mobile service...

Are there "fresh irons" available in the size to mate with the PSCB rotor sizing?

That would eat the cutters. The discs would have to be ground.
