Until I see charging stations as common as gas stations and ones that don't take a few hours to "top off" the car I will stick with the combustion engines.

Don't forget the fun factor... I guess the GT2RS is a bit more involving

(FWIW: Isn't the 0-100 kph time 2.8s for the 2RS - it was 3.3s in the video)

Is it me or does that reviewer in post #7768 look like Ronan Farrow? I guess everyone has a doppelkupplung.

We will see what the new Taycan can do. There will be three models and I will await the top of the line Taycan "Turbo" model and see if it can use the Tesla Model 3 to wipe the skid marks left by the top of the line Taycan Turbo.

Drive safe,

I have never been so thoroughly uninspired by a luxury brand as I am with Tesla. The styling (exterior and interior), the sound, the whole package... just so completely meh.

I have RS.2 and have been driving Porsche GT cars for years...and I also love my Model S (since 2016). Great handling, super acceleration and handsome to my eye. Supercharging time is advancing very rapidly. Will be buying a Taycan to replace Model S.

Ok so this is the text I got, it’s not that comprehensive but hopefully it will make sense to you:

"He pulled the vacuum line going to the exhaust flap off and capped the actuator. Tucked the line out of the way and it’s good to go."

Like I mentioned earlier he did this by going through the holes on the engine cover.

370 kph. Aero is the real problem. 997 gt2 rs and 997 gt2 with exhaust ic and tune did 350 quite easily as easy or even easier than the 991 gt2 rs.

Thanks; hope the weather improves for you guys over the next month or so. The East coast has been hit pretty hard over the past several years. Though I was born and raised in Brooklyn NY I don't miss the weather.
