They have done the ND so damn right...

So a 'turbo' trim will be coming for the Taycan EV...
That just seems stupid to me... Then again, I'm not their target market.

This makes zero sense to anyone. I guess we are just going to call fancy things 'turbo' from now on.
RE: Automotive News Discussion - Jake - 12-28-2018
It's the easy way to market an EV to the uneducated masses, or something.
Do Trump supporters buy Porsches though?

Speaking of financing, I just saw a Ford ad on TV offering 0% financing for 72 months on F150s until Jan 3rd. I haven't been looking for it but I don't think I've ever seen incentives like that on an F150.

Normal for the 1/2 tons when I shopped 2 months ago, unfortunately not for the diesel 3/4 and 1 tons.

It's probably the only way to make a new truck affordable for 8 out of 10 people that go in to buy one

I had about $12k of incentives applied to mine before I opened my mouth to negotiate.

yes.
RE: Automotive News Discussion - JPolen01 - 01-02-2019
Imagine how boring of a life you have to be to intentionally block an electric car charging station with your diesel truck because you think it's some kind of burn on electric cars. People never amaze me.

I'd just start carrying a tow rope with me. A Model 3 could absolutely maybe probably yank a truck out of a parking spot if you did it slowly.
RE: Automotive News Discussion - Steve85 - 01-02-2019
Tesla owners: "I'm carrying a tow rope from now on, it might be the difference between getting home and not"
ICEers: "I'm parking in front of as many as I can and I dare one of them EV yippies to pull my shit"
I'm going to be shocked if we make it 6 months before a brandishing incident between an ICE'r and a Tesla owner with a toe rope.

"Unlawful" ? You've lost your damn mind.
Most parking lots are private property, and the property owner has the right to set the usage for their property as they wish.
And I have the right to not patronize an establishment that gives people who make $500k a special parking spot for their $130k cars that cant travel very far.
(And for the record, deliberately blocking charging spots is extremely lame and petty.)

Wouldnt it be easier to just carry a longer charging cable?
Then again it wouldnt get as much youtube or social media attention, which apparently is what Tesla owners are more interested in

What does any of your comment have to do with people parking their non EVs in EV charging station spots?
Edit:
And please you know damn well you don't carry a charging cable with you for your EV and can't just "carry a longer one".
RE: Automotive News Discussion - Apoc - 01-02-2019
It's pretty obvious he was replying to Taylor's comment about making it illegal.
