Rumorpile: Porsche To Introduce A Turbo-Four Into The Cayman?

Very interesting read, considering that  in 2024 the average price per kW was $66.50 or in the case of a Tesla Y with a 60 kWh battery pack, $3,990 base cost to Tesla or in the case of my Kia EV9 with it's 100 kWh battery pack, $6,650 dollars cost. Today, the base cost due to deflated battery material has fallen to a low of $45 per kW or for Tesla, a battery cost of $2,700 or in the EV9 $4,500 for the battery cost. These make huge decreases in EV costs when the price of the most expensive component drops so fast. Just for basic understanding of a full size GM EV Pickup which has a 210 kWh battery pack, last year $13,965 and now in 2025 $9,450 cost on the battery pack. https://www.actumoteur.fr/en/electric-vehicle-battery-prices-just-crashed-harder-than-anyone-predicted-27490.html  

Same here in Washington, there is a ton of Summer projects with major road detours and sections that are totally closed during the night, traffic is a snail pace and especially this week with World Cup here, just best to not go anywhere.

Yup! That's new ADA grant funding through the Biden Bill. 

Holy smokes, I completely understand how you feel! St Louis City has been on a roll this year, too. They've been redoing most any sidewalk corner approaching an intersection along with new lighting, which is all nice, but that means streets are blocked off, too. Now they're also tearing up actual street surfaces and blacktopping them. It'll be really nice in a month when stuff is finished down here. Right now my construction situation is pretty awful between the drive to STL and actual downtown STL.  

OMG yes about the road construction! Between the Biden infrastructure bill and the new investments by PennDot and funding to the local municipalities to fix roads, it is sometimes impossible to get around here.  It's also not just roads, utility companies, especially water and sewer, got a lot of fresh funding for projects too.  I get that there is a lot to catch up on, but it's making it really hard to get about.
