I mean...its not like BMW hasn't created a couple or 3 terrible designs in their past.

yeah, that's the right thing to do. When they do the doors, the mirrors come off too, which will require your driver's assistance to be reset. The warranty is fine as long as they put it back together as it was taken apart. Broken clips that aren't replaced will at least cause concern from the...

And, consequently, they became more reliable, AND of course depreciated like a BMW in the used market. I suppose the upside is that when a part fails most of it is just an interchangeable part from a 7 series. This is commonplace for most of the bailed out brands though...Aston, Lambo. They...

It didn't. Drove it for a year without a single false positive (I don't own it anymore). That issue has a lot to do with installation though. If the installer leaves any detectable gap between the material and the sensor, it will see it as an obstacle. It can happen after the fact too.

So LOTS of opinions so I'll throw mine in... First, you have had your car for a bit. And, it sounds like it might have suffered a little in that. You mentioned the drive thru car washes with the swinging fabric...which is about as kind to paint as a mild sandpaper. Even a careful wash is gonna...

So, "wrap" can vary WIDELY with quality - both product and installation. Second, wrap is cosmetic only and typically will not stand the test of time. It can last a year or two but weather and even hot/cold changes in temp will stretch it to its limits and likely start showing on seams and...

I gotta keep myself honest on the range and MPGe. The Taycan Turbo is slightly better in range than the E Tron S....I had been referencing the regular E Tron! E Tron S: Taycan Turbo:

This is a moral argument. The whole "it's on the window sticker" isn't relevant. It was a used car trade in that was valued at the time of appraisal. If it were a formal repurchase, Porsche would inventory the car for original equipment and you would be dinged accordingly against the Monroney...

The 'refresh' is a new (old name), some changes to the grill (which I dont like) and the battery size improvement. The rest seems to be the same. The US version is supposed to debut in April - my guess is the added cost of the battery will have to be passed on to the consumer, so the extra 40...

I'm coming from a Turbo and was already rightsized on my range expectation. I came from a 4S before that and the range was better, but I found myself throwing my foot into it, so the difference was closer to 10% in terms of their real world range difference (for me). I just purchased a McLaren...

The 2023 Q8 Sportback 55 e-tron has a 375 mile range: https://ev-database.org/car/1772/Audi-Q8-e-tron-Sportback-55-quattro beefed up battery to 106kW (from 93) Specs Summary Model Year: 2023 Price: TBA for US, base model starts at 74,400 Euros in Germany (~$74,700) Miles of Range: 305 to 373...

I agree on the roof rails - think I have used them once years ago. With an SUV at least they dont look completely out of place. My taste of course, but I'm not a fan of the Sportback. I've tried. I think it looks like an SUV going through a mid life crisis.

Emotion is subjective - the current 911 is a great example...drive a GT3 and then drive a Mercedes GTR Pro; both are identical by the numbers but the 911 is so good, to me, it misses the soulful experience. The E-Tron is already coming in knocking on the door of 375 miles in range. This S...

Anybody consider these against each other? Or perhaps lucky enough to have both in the driveway? The S version is what I am looking at, which is largely new. I understand the physical differences of an SUV vs. a Sedan, but as look into what is effectively an electric version of the RSQ8, it...

wayyyyy over priced. Cool and pretty crazy options but pre-owned, equivalent cars are in the $190s

To emphasize the idea that an ICE car provides additional emotional responses, just listen to this and think about how it makes you feel. In person, these were so loud, you could feel it in your chest as they moved past you.

I think we are still in uncharted territory....and the Taycan resell market in the US is showing us that. Just 6 months ago, if you could find a fairly low miles 2020 TTS for $165K USD that was a fair/good price. Today, its $135 to $144K. Manheim and BaT are showing us the new norm would be in...

forged is a VERY loose term in marketing. For example, these could be rotary forged, or flow forged - which makes them a cast wheel with some machining. These are cast for sure - you can even see some of the casting defects in the wheels if you inspect them. At best they may cast the rough...

They are roughly the same. No way that they are forged. They are a cast wheel.

not to mention 350kw doesn't always do even as well as that reliable 150kw - again, EA is a hot mess
