0-60 sprints are for impressing your mate one time and then going back to driving your boring EV.

The 1996 BMW M3 that finished 10 seconds ahead of the Plaid would like a word with you.

Why not have a seven speed manual EV 911?

Here we go again. Listen, Troll, don’t come to a Porsche forum platform, and start ****ting on Porsche platform vehicles with this “muh Tesla is better, hurr durr” bull****. Kindly **** off back to the Tesla forums and keep the circlejerk going there. Keep that **** outta here.

But Tesla market share has gone from 27% to 11% and continues to sink. Tesla ain’t so hot anymore and facing an ugly future.

So maybe calm down a bit? I happen to own both and will give my opinion on why i love both my cars. Tesla makes Porsche look like a stupid joke in some aspects (software) and well The 911 is king in other aspects. Its a fact of life. Why cant you be more like Jay Leno? A guy that appreciates everything in different cars? Almost nothing outperforms a plaid model s right now. Whats wrong with me saying that? Its just a fact. Does that make the 911 any less fun to drive ? Nope.

You should give your username to someone else.

Just took delivery of my 992S MT 3 days ago. I thought it would replace my ND2 mx-5, but I thought wrong. As far as shift-action/clutch feel is concerned, the 992 is average to me just like my prior 987.1. I’ve owned 3 of 4 generations of miatas and an s2000, all I felt to be superior in clutch/shift feel over my 992/987. Also have a p100d with ludicrous but that torque doesn’t replace the excitement and engagement I feel with even the crappiest of MTs (and I have some crappy ones). A mustang gt350 MT feels far better than a 992 MT. I personally owned a 2017 mustang GT (diff MT than gt350) and even that was better than this 992. If any of you are truly blown away by this 7-speed, get in an ND2

Teslas are incredible… appliances.

I do think they had a significant lead, but others will or are catching up. Their only moat are the Supercharger infrastructure but eventually as battery efficiency improves, that won’t be as meaningful.
