They even call them a "Turbo " . HA HA. !!!! This is no Turbo .
The cars suck !! The sound of silence is the sound of death .
Whats even worse are the people who buy them to the joy of the opportunistic politicians .
1) Theres the fake do gooders - They dont really care about the environment . They do care about their image and this car goes with what they want people to think of them .
2) You have the brainwashed zealot who firmly believes that the future of our planet starts now with him . It's funny how human beings label other animals "invasive" or "nuisance" when we not only kill them but destroy everything . Thats a combination of the pot calling the kettle black and elitism. Heck , the idea that a giant war might lead us to wipe each other out is in fact a topic . Yet the EV is going to save us all !! Ha !!!
3) The person who thinks he's frugal . Yep.. there is always an EV zealot who touts how much money he saves in gasoline while his 200K Taycan is now worth 80K .
Theres more but this hybrid (thread title ) isnt a full EV YET . Thats where Blume wants to take this eventually .

Boxster , Cayman built its success on a mid engine,.The Spyder holds the Guiness record . Going from mid engine to no engine is like automotive castraton . All those EV;'s have odd shapes deliberately to get range . It's fake. coolness
Look at early 911's with the small platform , offset pedals , 1960's dash eve into the 90;'s and compare that to todays 992.2 GTS . It's like a freak .
Whats next ? a car that drives the person by itself around the Nurburgring and breaks records .

Look at the wheels on a Taycan or the aerodynamics over done . Or the new Macan with the square fascia , and slats in the rear . Its ALL for range .If its hot outside and you use AC its less range. Drive it hard and it's less range too . Gain 5 points and it's less too.
They even call them a "Turbo " . HA HA. !!!! This is no Turbo .

the more this argument gets rehashed over and over and over again the more it looks like oil lamps vs light bulbs to me. '
How many out there still burning oil / gas for their lighting?
Of course it still exists, plenty of niche applications, as well as the ultra poor lacking infra for electric lighting.
The only *free* people I know are the ones with enough solar and storage to charge their cars and still have zero power bill.

I’m glad I just upgraded to a 2024 992.1, 911. It means I have many years of familiar, enjoyable and dependable technology to look forward to.
The 992.2 generation has to prove itself, to me as well as others. I hope it works out and we can all move forward into the future happily with this hybrid car.
But frankly, it’s too early to tell how good or bad it’s going to be until a few years pass at the very least.
I feel like we are standing at the edge of a lake that’s frozen over. I’m gonna hang back and watch some people cross to the other side before I decide whether
I want to walk across or walk around it. I’ve got nothing to lose by waiting, and everything to gain.

I saw the results of a recent survey showing 49% of current EV owners regret their selection and will not buy another. EVs are just not viable currently in a widespread sense regardless of how loudly the zealots pound their fists or how much subsidy the government throws at them.
