Schmee writes: My first drive in the new Porsche Taycan Turbo S! The first fully electric Porsche is of great interest to me as one that could potentially be the EV for me to buy. To find out what it’s like, join me for a full speed run on the Autobahn and a complete tour inside out. The Turbo S is the flagship model in the line-up, seen here running smaller wheels with winter tyres, and thanks to its 2 electric motors with one on each axle, in overboost manages a huge 761PS along with 1,050nm.

Tesla conference call unveiled some new about the Model Y The first batch f Model Y cars will start shipping out in March. Tesla added the 21 inch Überturbine Wheels option on the Model Y (see image on op) The Performance version has now a top speed of 155mph (previously 145mph) The All Wheel long range version now has an EPA estimate of 315 miles (previously 280 miles). There was no info about the Tesla Roadster and Cyberturck production start 🙁
For a brief moment you can notice the Tesla 3 and Tesla Y size comparison. It’s quite a bit taller!

Ok guys I am late on this and I know everybody knows it by now: Tesla is rumored to start a limited run of Model Y production in February. The performance version will be produced first and the prodcution slowy reach full speed in late Summer.

Damn would I love to get a 400+ miles Model 3/Y !!!
