    From Taycan to BMW i5 - Honest Opinion

    this a great review and I agree one thing about phone-as-key - you need to carry the credit card key with you for two reasons: valet - you can't/won't give your phone to someone else to take your car - car wash is good example (dropping car off at service) dead/broken phone - battery in phone...

    [CyberTruck] - even if you don't want one worth a watch…

    I hate the cyber truck - but once again Tesla is pushing boundaries and will probably "leak" into other product and the industry at large some of the building blocks of this truck are more interesting than the truck itself - 800V (like Taycan), steering by wire, safety considerations...

    Anyone going back to a Tesla?

    I did not provide the equipment - the CarHoney guys came fully equipped - they spent the morning before track open suctioning the equipment on to the vehicle… pushing hard? a bit yeah - but also mindful of the fact that we were filming and not racing - so my job was to place the car in front of...

    Lamborghini Lanzador EV

    hmmm - wonder what platform it's on - 2026 production - I'm not holding my breath - all in all not my thing…but good to see the hype. will the PMC+/PMCC still overheat - and what is it's max charge rate and battery taper curve?

    Anyone going back to a Tesla?

    the ride and creature comforts are world class - and the performance is amazing - it's a LUX SUV that can take you and other couple to dinner - but you can also rig it up as a camera platform and use it to film car reviews @ private track days very few SUV's could've done what the Cayenne did...

    Anyone going back to a Tesla?

    LOL it was the only thing remotely close to the acceleration I had come to enjoy with the P100D - EV drive trains "spoil" you and can't simply go back to anemic ICE drive trains - but as we all know in practice - on paper is one thing but actual performance of ICE vehicle's tends to be less...

    Anyone going back to a Tesla?

    I owned 2 Model x's 2016 Model X P90D - vin #254 off the assembly line - lemon'd by Tesla 9 months later 2017 Model X P100D - drove it until warranty was up - good SUV - crazy quick, mostly functional - but our model lacked the 2nd row folding seats but had the 3rd row - no real issues other...

    Anyone going back to a Tesla?

    skipping BMW until they announce supercharger support (as well as other EV vendors for north america) my next EV vendor needs to function with a reliable and well regarded fast charging network - it doesn't have to be "the supercharger network" - but I see no alternatives - but I'm open to a...
