I'm not understanding your point. It's been owned by Geely for over a decade now, but is still a company based in Sweden, with mostly Swedish / European employees, and listed on the Swedish Nasdaq. Moreover, despite being owned by Geely, Volvo has if anything INCREASED it's focus on being a...
For those of you who had Volvo, please claim your prize.
No one?

What the hell is it about Teslas that makes it so easy to curb the rear wheels? In the 4 years I owned my Model 3's, I managed to curb both rear wheels and one front wheel...on BOTH of them. In my 30 years of driving, that is literally 6 times the amount of wheels I have curbed otherwise. I...
BMW's disaster design department is just a mess these days. I understand what they were trying to do here...avoid Merc's "one bow" egg shape and still keep the 3 box design but optimize aero. As a result, the hood and trunk are very high where they meet the greenhouse and look very awkward to...
Watch this 0-100-0 Comparison by 5th Gear featuring a Taycan TurboS vs. a Panny Sport Tourismo TurboS EHybrid. While I'm sure people are thinking the Taycan has the edge here, the results are....shocking.
I think he's asking if you need to have a destination set in order to pull up the map at all. Which isn't the case, if I recall from my test drives and seems like you have confirmed.
Yes.
There is a LOT of disinformation and hype about "coatings" and "ceramic" floating around these days. Everything is "ceramic" this and "graphene" that. But in general, here's what it comes down to:
A proper ceramic coating is relatively inexpensive. About $100 USD for a consumer...
If you are getting a coating for 300 pounds, then all you're getting is a random coating slapped on with zero prep. In which case you should just buy the coating for 100 pounds and do it yourself.
Everything here is easy except the polish car. That's where the money is.
To properly polish a car, you need to have decent equipment and a lot of time. And if you're not good, more time to fix your mistakes.
You can omit the polishing part. I have on two cars and it's fine. My paint...
That's not what I'm saying. My point was that the actual mechanism that the vehicle uses to recuperate rolling momentum back into electricity is the same no matter if it's achieved via lifting off the accelerator or achieved by applying the brake pedal. You just get more of it via applying...
It would be more technically correct to say the Taycan has two ways that recuperation happens. Braking and overrun recuperation are the same....
Exactly. The recuperation is the same...the momentum of the moving vehicle turns the rotor portion of the motor and the electrical field generated...
Mid summer is when deliveries start. The ordering happens in the spring.
in 2013 I ordered in March but the dealer held my order until April to get a 2014 instead of the last of the 2013's. It was delivered at the end of July.
