They will come to Canada where autos are cheaper such as the new Honda Prelude that is $7,000 cheaper in Canada than the U.S. due to Idiot47 Tariffs that are hurting so many Americans and have only brought in less than $150 billion such that it cannot even pay the interest on our debt but hurts everyone but the 1%. No, it has not brought in the Trillions Dirty Dumb Donald says it has, and no one will see a $2,000 tariff refund check. Rolex, Ferrari, etc. all these that do elite stuff do not care about the masses, only the 1%, as such why even bother buying their mass-produced products when they do not give everyone a fair chance at the limited-edition stuff. Yet with all the bitching about various things with Porsche, one has to agree that they are pushing the edge of tech as @ccap41 pointed out. Top of the fast recharge list, plus wireless charging which is a game changer.

While not a fan of Mercedes style, great that the CLA will go Toe to Toe with Tesla 3 in range and spec that is more reliable than Tesla. Better yet on a true 800V system with top charging of 320kW, twice as fast as Tesla. https://www.topspeed.com/mercedes-benz-cla-pricing-range-aimed-squarely-at-tesla/

Since online stories seem to change, I am copy and pasting the instructions here: Uninstall the Copilot app The first thing you should do is uninstall the Copilot app. This is a Windows app and can be uninstalled like any other Windows app. There are a few ways to do this, and we’ll outline two of them. The fast way Hit the Windows Key to open your search and type in Copilot. Right-click the app with your mouse and select Uninstall. A window will pop up asking you to confirm. Do so. The app will be uninstalled. The harder way Open the Settings on your Windows PC. Navigate to Apps and then Installed apps. Find Copilot on your list of installed apps. Click the three-dot button on the right side and click Uninstall. For all intents and purposes, Copilot will cease to function on your PC after uninstalling the app, and you can go about your life in peace. Disable Copilot on a Windows PC Once the official app is uninstalled, there’s no real reason to do anything further, but if you really hate AI, you can if you want to. Damn the man! In the interest of completeness, here’s how to disable Copilot on your PC. This method is doable in two ways. If you have Windows 11 Pro, you can do this through the Group Policy Editor, which is quite simple. Those who have Windows 11 Home have to go through the Registry Editor, which can be an intimidating and potentially dangerous process. Thus, proceed at your own risk. Disable Copilot through the Group Policy Editor Hit the Windows Key to open search and type in Edit group policy or gpedit.msc and open the setting that pops up. Once the Group Policy Editor is open, you’ll navigate to a setting in the left margin. The order is User configuration, then Administrative templates, click on Windows components, and then finally Windows Copilot. Double-click where it says Turn off Windows Copilot; a new window will open. In the window, click Enabled, then Apply, and then finally OK. Copilot will be disabled. This method only works for Windows 11 Pro and Enterprise. While it is possible to install and use Group Policy Editor on Windows 11 Home, it’s not worth the effort, as there's a better option: Disable Copilot through the Registry Editor Hit the Windows Key and type in regedit, and then open the Registry Editor. Navigate to HKEY_Current_User, then Software, then Policies. Once there, go to Microsoft and then Windows, and finally CurrentVersion. There, you’ll see an option called WindowsCopilot. Double-click the TurnOffWindowsCopilot and change the value from 0 to 1. Exit Registry Editor and reboot your PC. It’s a simple enough process if you're used to working in the Windows 11 backend, but you can mess up a lot of stuff in the Registry Editor if you're not. Thus, again, proceed with caution and don’t change any of the other values. In addition, not all versions of Windows will have this registry option. Voila, Copilot is as off as Copilot gets If you've followed our advice, Copilot will now be disabled (or uninstalled) on your Windows laptop or Chromebook. Since most of its functionality comes directly through the Copilot app, uninstalling the app gets you about 90 percent of the way there, which should be more than enough for most Windows users. Disabling it via the Group Policy Editor or the Registry Editor finishes the job, but without the app in the front, Copilot can’t really do much of anything anyway.

To say that Porsche has delivered a technological milestone with the 2026 Cayenne would be an understatement. The fully electric SUV combines traditional Porsche DNA with cutting edge technology that proves Porsche is a pioneer in EV technology. Let's get the specifics that you all want to know out of the way: Horsepower of up to 1,084 ponies & up to 1,106 lb.-ft of torque 0 to 62 mph in 2.5 seconds 0 to 124 mph in 7.4 seconds Ultra-Fast charging achieving 80% in 16 minutes for base and 10 minutes for Turbo models 399 miles of battery range Let's look at the horsepower side of things, in normal mode you get 844 ponies and a button on the steering wheel "Push-to-Pass" that releases the rest of the ponies for up to 10 seconds on a push of the button. This is all based on the Turbo model. The entry-level Cayenne has 402 horsepower and 615 lb.-ft of torque. The entry level model can achieve 0 to 62 mph in 4.8 seconds on its way to a top speed of 143 mph. The Cayenne EV has incorporated their Formula E technology. Here Porsche is leading with 600 kW of energy recuperative power. 97% of all braking operations can be handled by the electric motors, the mechanical friction brakes rarely need to intervene, Porsche does offer a Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) as an upgrade option for those that wish to have added braking for track day. The Formula E technology continues in the Cayenne EV product line having adaptive air suspension or what Porsche calls Active Suspension Management (PASM). For the Turbo trim, you get PTV Plus or Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus, a limited-slip rear differential. Both models can be had with rear-axle steering of up to 5 degrees. Innovation in charging is where Porsche leads the industry again in that the 2026 models have a newly developed 113 kWh high-voltage battery pack that comes with double-sided cooling for optimal thermal management. This contributes to the base Cayenne getting 399 miles of range and the Turbo getting 387 miles of range. Porsche has enhanced their 800V technology so that the Cayenne is capable of 390 to 400 kW of high-speed charging allowing the battery pack to go from 10% to 80% in 16 minutes for the Cayenne base or 10 minutes for the Turbo model. The Cayenne EV is also the first Porsche to get the Optional Inductive Charging system that charges up to 11 kW. This wireless charging system requires only that the user park above the Floor plate for automatic charging. The Porsche Cayenne continues the family tradition of EVs with its unique Matrix LED headlights, Frameless doors, and contrasting elements that include a 3D look on the light strips for a modern distinct look. Porsche also has an Off-road package that can be added to give not only a unique look but improve on the approach and departure angles and robustness that off-road driving can demand. The Porsche Cayenne has a 0.25 drag coefficient. It is 2.16 inches longer than the ICE model and has a 5 inch longer wheelbase allowing for greater rear leg room and comfort over the ICE. The Cayenne EV has a Frunk with 3.17 cubic feet of room. Overall interior space from the base luggage capacity of 27.5 cubic feet with all seats up to a large 56 cubic feet with the back row seats folded down. This powertrain platform allows the Cayenne to have a 3.5-ton towing capacity. Porsche brings comfort and individuality to the Cayenne with a variety of options from the Panoramic Roof, variable lighting, Mood Modes, Panel heating, 13 standard colors, 9 wheel design choices, 12 interior combinations and so much more. The Cayenne has the largest display area in any Porsche; the Flow Display is a curved OLED panel that gives the driver a 14.25 driver display and another one for the digital controls / Navigation system. There is an optional 14.9 display for the front seat passenger. This is all complemented by an AR technology heads up display. The digital OLED display is complimented by traditional buttons and switches for heat, air conditioning, audio volume and more. The driver also gets an ergonomic hand rest to control all the digital and analogue elements of the auto. The electric Cayenne is available to order now with delivery starting in Q1 of 2026. See your dealer for full details and pricing.
