Obviously you don’t follow cars or the Porsche brand much then. Porsche is well known for understating performance figures on all its vehicles. (Well with the exception of the diesel vehicle issue ) Come back when they are out in the general public and they are truly put through their paces and...

So explain how something that has not been driven on the road and thoroughly tested yet can lose? You’re basing your thoughts on the Automotive media that has not yet driven and put through its paces a street ready vehicle.

Actually no I’m not. We were talking about weight and going after the top times. I don’t care what car you drive, if you are pushing it to get the fastest times you will get some tire slippage. I don’t care if you are driving an electric car or a gas guzzling racer, when it comes to sliding or...

You are talking two different groups of people. Tesla owners want to be able to tweet and text and do all sorts of other things besides driving while in their Tesla taxi whereas the Porsche owners care more about the handling and spirited driving of a Porsche. The only technology they want is a...

Porsche has never wanted to be or even pretended to be relevant to the average consumer. Engineering wise Porsche is by far the superior product. What Tesla has over everyone else is computer technology. You want your car to be a driverless taxi you buy a Tesla, you want your car to challenge...

So does the drag coefficient, tire size, handling characteristics and so many other variables besides just weight. You can make a car as light as you want, but if it can’t put all that power to pavement consistently and your tires spin you will also lose battery range and possibly overheat the...

After reading the latest comments from the release of the Porsche Taycan going forward, some of you guys have me shaking my head and laughing. A lot of you are the same people who knock anyone that drives an ICE vehicle or knock manufacturers because they aren’t pushing hard to make every...

I guess you haven’t read all the threads in the forum where Tesla has promised this and Tesla has promised that. But in the end it’s the same thing, what is finally received is something totally different than what was expected. If I remember correctly, there’s a thread now where everyone is...

Show us one Porsche that doesn’t handle as good or better than any vehicle in its class?

5JMJ, wow... You are out of your mind if you think Tesla is considered elite / premium, especially when you compare it to a Porsche. Once all the other auto manufacturers start jumping into the game as Porsche has, your so called “Elitist” car will fall into the level of a high end Buick. Wake...

And you don’t think a Tesla is? Look at how so many Tesla owners turn their noses up on anything or anyone who isn’t a Tesla owner.

I was thinking the same. That form factor was a commercial failure in the 70s but I wonder if it could have a revival in an EV form with towing, a beefier suspension and some Tesla aerodynamics. It went by both names. And there was also the 78 - 84 VW Rabbit Pickup, the 79 - 82 Ford Durango...

Yes, it’s impressive that a group of people with such a limited skillset took on a project of this size and with this kind of difficulty. This same project done by professional customizers, people that do this kind of work day in and day out, usually takes months to complete. I was cringing...

I never said either was lying... I just stated that Tesla should release the logs so that we can judge for ourselves... And you just restated my point concerning making the drive identical.. - - - Updated - - - You left out the part where he said he called the tech people for advice/guidance...

And how do you figure that? Are you saying that your opinion is the only correct one? Wake up

JRP3, how do you figure my statement was false? There is not a single person commenting on this board that has first hand knowledge of the situation from either side of this, so how can you say my statement is false? You are being blind and mighty naive, the truth almost always lands somewhere...

A thought or two on the subject... As we all know in the real world, no two identical items are truly alike. In the automobile world, two people buying the exact same vehicle may have two totally different experiences over the lifetime of their ownership. One may have no problems at all while...
