    Time for New Tires

    After 23000+ miles, my Taycan 4S needs new tires in the next few weeks. The car came factory installed with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 which I’ve liked. But I’m wondering if there’s anything better out there, especially if anyone has any advice or opinions about the newer EV-specific performance...

    This article spells out the price increase. This is no big deal for those of us with a couple of years left on our charging plans, but I wonder if EA is also investing in making their reliability better. Somehow I doubt it. From the article: “According to Electrify America, the current price...
