Yeah I think the thing is they already know if they are building a CLAR or Neue Klasse car. And if it's Neue Klasse, it's electric.

Yeah, ok. Go all electric and I’ll stop buying them. If they want to stop guys like me who have been M owners going back to the E36, then go right ahead and make it all electric. Once these cars go electric, what is the point? I can spend far less than 90k on a big battery if that’s what my choices are limited to.

Chassis is actually great but the Bangle-ness of it and the interior fit and finish is garbage. The manual in those cars was also terrible. Also, very limited on mods other than what everyone with them does, SC immediately lol. Good response however, it does tick all the boxes.

Porsche has been developing EV’s for well over 10 years The 718 Electric Cayman/Boxster twins have been in development since 2011 So I have no doubt Porsche is going to be a huge leader in the space Very exciting times ahead

so before I get torched I’ll stipulate that this is a serious question, not intended as sarcasm…
Aesthetic and aural considerations aside, if ICE is replaced with EV in the (apparently) not too distant future, how exactly will this new demand for charging capacity be met? for example: just over 4% of light vehicle registrations in California are currently EV and there is already talk in Sacramento of limiting access whether by time of day or some other metric. no new power plants are currently under construction or even planned. nuclear power generation will not increase and will likely decrease. if I understand the legislation correctly, and maybe I don’t, California expects to be 100% EV for new car sales in just 12 yrs. including regulatory hurdles and lawsuits it takes a minimum of 12 yrs to build a new power plant AFTER you decide to do it. (of course in The Peoples Republic you can get one every other Thursday). so you can see my dilemma: not able to complete this equation because not all of these potential EVs can be charged on the existing grid on the same day, or worse. additional considerations: what entity will control the source of whatever energy is actually available? a public utility? gee, no reason to be nervous about that… trying hard not to think about the possibility that rendering the private sector incapable of meeting the public transportation demands will turn out to have been the point of the exercise. ’ |

The goal is to eventually prevent individuals from owning their own transportation. Also zero emissions is not a thing. It's displaced emissions. It's not coming out of your tail pipe directly, but your power is not coming from unicorn farts |

You clearly have no understanding of scientific method, scientific definitions, or how green houses gas are better insulators than other gases. Stop trolling

Come on. You can't even form sentences using the correct words. How am I supposed to explain climate change to someone that has the intelligence of an earthworm?

I literally can’t stand electric cars. They are heavy soulless appliances.
This is going to come across as geeky but Rush’s Red Barchetta is a great driving song and the lyrics perfectly encapsulate how I feel about ICE cars. (Especially manual ICE cars) I strip away the old debris That hides a shining car A brilliant red Barchetta From a better vanished time I fire up the willing engine Responding with a roar Tires spitting gravel I commit my weekly crime Wind In my hair Shifting and drifting Mechanical music Adrenaline surge Well-weathered leather Hot metal and oil The scented country air Sunlight on chrome The blur of the landscape Every nerve aware
