I found that porsche hastily churned out the GT to take back records previously held by Tesla. Porsche didn’t really address the battery temp issue at all but put a cheater “attack mode” and new r comp tires to achieve faster lap times.

Idiots with short memories on car depreciation That ride is coming to an end. Hey @dgoldenz you’ve been around a while. Let’s see, my 2009 911 it was MSRP new around 100k. It was ‘valued’ at under 70 3 years later. My 964? $50k pickup. Or how about that 997RS I still have? That was a 140k car, 2007, 2011, worth about 1/2 that.

Maybe you can tell us about your car money making adventures?

Short memories and think this gravy train will last. Won’t happen. But if it makes you feel better to think your cars are appreciating assets have at it!

If you can’t afford the cost of the car, don’t buy it.
But Elon said Teslas were appreciating assets! 😅

The Plaid is just an animal on the stats sheet. Lightest and cheapest while being just as quick. Not the best, but dang. Even Chevy dreams of that bang/buck.
I really want to drive a Taycan, just worry it would be an expensive test drive 😉.
