Now, lemme see what the lease rate is . . . . :shock:
More than "1 million dollars" per month.

What would be an electrical equivalent of turbo?

Taycan Capacitor?

People who buy performance variants of electric/hybrid cars puzzle me.

"I want to help save the planet...but not really."

Did you guys catch the Wired (and elsewhere) article about the Bosch "pyrofuse?" I thought airbags were expensive to replace...I wonder what the cost will be for rewiring an EV after an accident.

The last time I had to go to Fashion Valley (had to go get my drowned iPad replaced), there was a line of at least a dozen Teslas waiting for one of the 20 superchargers to open up. At the front of the line, two Tesla drivers were fighting about who had the most urgent need to charge. "I only have 12 miles left and I have to go pick up my kids!"

Seems convenient.

Ditto. I'm waiting to pull the trigger on a Taycan until the Flux Capacitor option becomes available. ;)

Clearly they need to fire the proof reader that allowed the 996 to be included in that list :lol:
