    1. I didn’t state it for EV ranges because my stated ranges accounted for that fact. To say “they can only use 80% of their battery charge” would be misleading in the context of the listed ranges.
    2. This isn’t false you’re essentially saying “you’re right but it’s mostly not the engine” in other words: you’re being a pedantic git
    3. They can disagree all they want, I’m actually correct and have the stats (which you have yet to refute) to back my statements up.
    4. I never claimed to be nice.











  • “Climate lunatics” I am 20yo. I can literally observe the climate as being different than it was when I was a child. It is plainly obvious something has changed. What should we call this change in the climate of our planet? Hmmmm… maybe, climate change is an apt descriptor for the change in our planet’s climate wouldn’t you agree?

    As to its existence? I’m not going to debate you on it. Climate change does exist. To deny that is to deny facts and science. To deny it is to deny literal reality. I don’t debate people who live in fantasyland.





  • Most people don’t (and shouldn’t) run their car to empty causing the average consumer to fill up after ~300 miles, when they get to roughly 1/4 their tank.

    This has been proven time and time again. If you consistently got the true 400 miles a tank out of your car, you’d damage it.

    (Also average fuel efficiency is 25mpg, average fuel tank size is 12-16 gallons. Average that 12-16 to 14 gallons. 25x14=350 miles per tank)

    But I love the absolute assured confidence in your incorrect reply here.




  • Range matters to a point. 250+ miles is where we consider it comparable to an ICE in terms of driving time to charge.

    Essentially at 250+ miles you are driving about as long as your average driver of an ICE would before filling up.

    Charger availability is only going to improve for Porsche as the Taycan becomes more widely available but they’ve already rolled out in most major metro areas… and have stated plans to be in every state. The Taycan is also expensive for a Porsche so comparing to the Model S (which is the best like for like comparison) seems fair. Albeit other Porsches are ICEs (the Cayenne is currently about as expensive as a model X)

    Edit:

    Also, while my experience has been that the Model S has better range. In WLTP testing, the current standard, the Taycan beats the Model S by 13 miles.
