    "Isn't in the spirit" sounds like a way to just be grumpy about it. It's there. It's paid for. There is no reason not to use them, as long as it's still convenient to the user. Once it isn't convenient, I see no point in it. It doesn't really matter when it costs at home. If Tesla didn't package their supercharger network into the price of their cars...I would get it more. It is there to facilitate long distance traveling but all of the ones you see Teslas hoarded around are ones "around town".

    You make it sound like they didn't already pay for the service up front... While annoying, I get it. They paid for that. Why pay two times for charging?
  3. ccap41
    I definitely believe it will be put together better.
  4. ccap41
    Even worse.. 10 years newer and it has a smaller battery, less range, and weighs more.
  5. ccap41
    Good point.. The Taycan is a whole 0.3in shorter and 0.1in wider. Maybe they should have sacrificed the 0.3in for more range.
  6. ccap41
    Shouldn't a car 10 years newer be the most advanced tech and not behind the 10 year old car?
  7. ccap41
    That's one hell of a premium but I do agree.
  8. ccap41
    Isn't this also much more expensive than a Model S along with much less range? Those are two pretty big disadvantages of the Taycan.

    Is 267mph the same as 300mph?
  10. ccap41
    At least it can be bought in lower trims such as the Sport.

    Is a diesel engine not perfect for the Wrangler's natural habitat, off-roading?
  12. ccap41
    It's a pre-production model anyway so this one is forgiven..

    Taycan is here. It looks "pretty good", imo. I do fear for Tesla as Porsche is a giant or at least has giant money and I think this will eat into Tesla pretty hard unless Tesla has heavy updates coming soon to the Model S. I have to believe the quality control over at Porsche will have them in a much better position than Tesla. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a28899036/2020-porsche-taycan-photos-info/

    When is Mercedes going to go after 300mph? They can't even get an engine to run clean...

    ^ Good lord, VW...

    I disagree PERMITTING they worked to get the proportions correct and not having super long front overhangs and such.

    Yeah, whenever the 2nd gen came out it was FWD-based. To go with that, FWD isn't as bad as it once was either with computers.

    A FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLAR front wheel drive vehicle? Hell. No. The X1 was RWD...

    Well, we can do a little calculating and get a pretty good estimate of how many AMG SUV's Mercedes is selling. Or, as some would call them, hot hatches. First, Mercedes last said in 2017 that AMG sales make up 10% of sales. https://www.thedrive.com/sheetmetal/17048/amg-makes-up-10-percent-of-us-sales-for-mercedes-benz Next, let's look at their SUV sales. 2018 GLC sales: 69, 729 - 10%: 6,973 AMGs 2018 GLE sales: 46,010 - 10%: 4,601 AMGs 2018 GLS sales: 21,973 - 10%: 2,197 AMGs That's roughly 13,771 "hot hatches". Not a negligible number considering the cheapest of those START at $70,800(GLC 63). FWIW GLE 63's start at $110,200 and GLS 63's start at $126,150. On a down year the Vette sold 18,791 units in 2018. Personally, I see that as a "hot hatch" market to go after. SUVs are hot and performance SUVs are selling and selling at huge dollar amounts. I know I know.. I'm just giving hell to one of those vehicles I dislike oh so much.

    In all fairness, those are really ugly in comparison...
  21. ccap41
    Wouldn't those then be the first automobiles? If they weren't creating them then there would be no catch-up needed.
  22. ccap41
    Well, when one throws out the word "need" and you go back to the roots of it... It quickly becomes a "want". At this point of the economy and life automobiles are absolutely a need in one fashion or another. But, when they first became a thing and everybody was used to not using them, they were a luxury and everybody was okay and used to using horse and buggy for transportation.

    I have actually always wondered what happened to my old vehicles.. I was/am mostly curious about my 04 Mustang Gt that I sold to like a 16 or 17 year old. I assume it was wrapped around a tree or went through a crowd of people.
  24. ccap41
    I know it was an improvement but it was still never a NEED. Everybody wanted to expand and grow but they never needed to.
  25. ccap41
    I completely agree and I'm going to assume that is true until I see otherwise. It just doesn't fit the size. I'm not sure why but it just doesn't.
