You are just referring to yourself. You are the one who knowingly bought it hahaha

increase prices for ones that have huge backlog?? Tough to get a Porsche allocation

interesting seeing the different clientele that Tesla has and other manufacturers

Of course Richmond

Price drop is a pipe dream. Extra hardware can be a maybe. to me, the 3 is not worth it anymore. Model Y is at the right price in the market.

I wish same for Taycan Cross Turismo. No allocation in sight

This says the difference between Tesla, sudo luxury car with sudo rich buyer and Porsche and their clients. There will still be long wait for the Taycan and no shortage of buyers.

interesting. too bad that same cannot be said for Cross Turismo.

Sucks. my sales has an allocation for oct delivery but too soon for me. I am aiming for May-june next year.

Good to be single and mortgage paid off.

That's good. i am glad that i got the MINI SE instead. It's still much much rarer than any other EV on the road. Have a Taycan Cross Turismo on order now. I can take that one to Muskoka while using my SE for commute.

I am glad that my condo management sorted it out for a while now. Last week, i asked my nice building manager and it's around $5K end to end. I just forgot how the electricity is charged back to me haha. Anyway, i need to save the money for the upfront payment of the Taycan / Taycan insurance...

HUD really is trap. Promotional material will show the snazziest version. But the one in your country would probably just show speed and power level.

I think that if dynamics and style is not top priority anymore. Can also look at BMW. if it is me, on the low end i would check out the i4 and iX for the more premium one. Bmw had been in the game long. My MINI SE had been super reliable so far.

Yeah, i think that the e-tron will look much dated than taycan in a few years.

You should build it from scratch. I assume your dealer then will be up front with any added fees when you engage them.

Sounds like what reviewer gets. Also like what people says about the Nissan GT-R, in terms of hugely capable but too easy to drive and feel like a video game. I used to own S2000 before, I am pretty sure that it’s not going to be as involved when driving the Taycan, but i own the Mini SE now...

One pedal driving is way over hyped. It is just a behavour/setting. It actually may be less safe in poor road condition (from my experience with one pedal driving in my Mini SE).

Hahah. I was wearing my all ripped pants when i first went to my local Porsche dealership. I had to go through service side cause of covid. The service guy tried to kick me out with excuses. Anyway long story short. I had email exchanges with my sales representative and he doesn't seem...

Not sure if you have seen the Taycan. But Taycan and Panamera is night and day style difference. But you are right. I do feel uneasy inside now that i am really going through with the whole ordering the 4 door Porsche thing. Especially 1. The sales tell me that the classic porsche silver is...

I am lucky that my Porsche sales representative is not arrogant. But i am settling to order Sedan instead of Cross Turismo. Glad that i brought up the CT when i went to the dealer yesterday. Finallly got to see it. it does look nice but major flaw is the rim. it does have 21 nice rim. But...

Yeah, i feel the same after i see it in at a Porsche mall popup store like two years ago, i think, of course i thought that it was the most beautiful car then. I so wanted to get the Model 3 as a Mini Taycan as i was no way near able to afford a Taycan then. But now i can actually "afford"...

Yeah, i think that my 4S order is going to be my YOLO, Midlife crisis, still stag, car. But i cannot afford leather interior or other declarating options. no passenger display for sure. Yes to sound insulate glass and burmester. Which rims did you choose? Mission E? i personally can't...

At the Taycan level, the relative price difference is kind of low prority. They are both "not real car" worth. But that's also the point, you are not buying a car that goes from A to B. But from my gut feeling is that, if i settled on getting a Tesla, i will find hard justification to get...

If i am not mistaken, I think that you can almost spec it the same as with the 4S except for the rims? I didn't poke at the Turbos. I only checked out the GTS but gave up quick and settling with the 4S.

Yeah, that "gliding" I am pretty sure it's due to the .22 low drag. My Prius have pretty low drag too and it's much less stressful on the highway than my Mini SE which i am just afraid to hit the gas pedal. The only downside with the Taycan is the size. My parking spot at my home away from...

I am debating if i should spec the Active Cruise when i do final config of the Taycan order. I do wish my Mini SE has it but it isn't or wasn't an option when i order mine. I have it on my Prius, it's good to have when no traffic on the highway.

Yeah, but i think that it should make it to the driving roads up at muskoka and back home for about 230km without issue. Unfortunately i don't think that my Mini SE can make it with one tank. So i have to order a Taycan for that. I can't afford the more expensive ones. I am going to order a...

Yeah, ordering the Taycan can’t be rushed. You warm yourself to it and take your sweet time to spec it. It took me a few months to spec it the way i should be fully satisfied. You got to be careful too. Cause something may look default to you on youtube videos, but may actually be a specific...

It took me months to spec the Taycan or Cross Turismo to "perfection". I finally decided on the Sport Sedan. But i need to wait for model year 2023 to finalize my order and then the excruciating wait for build and delivery and most importantly saving the dough to pay a big upfront when...

I really don‘t know who this Sandy Monro is. I have only watched his video about the Mini SE. And feels that he is just too Bias.

you mean the interior seats too small. The car itself is freaking large. Interior design is sport car than sedan.

I think that the tax would be hard to implement retroactively. It will probably cost more to collect retroactively than what it would collect.

yeah… having to pay HST on the Luxury Tax is a terrible joke on us.

no. don’t let the lux tax deviate your plan. just tax manage the hell of it after u buy the car. and always vote conservative going forward

Yeah. i think that this is going to be like what happened in Hong Kong. the first year or so after they removed the tax exemption on EV. Nobody was even talking about buying a Tesla. So for a while nobody is going to buy the regular Model 3.

Yeah i am even more pissed off at Fed now. I work my ass off from annual $20ks to now i can finally realistically save for a Taycan in a year or two. They are dinging me on that. I would still get the car though. I am not settling for a car that is not the mission e when it was shown and...

You have to be kidding. macan a few class lower. Anyway the luxury tax really pisses me off. I just started to save for my trophy. I will be super pissed at paying that tax.

Obviously don’t think that an EV will be without issue. So always have a backup car or plan.

Right. The advice is to avoid having air conditioning on in Air Recirculation mode.

Dudes… London is so so so small. Why would you need SC

That is the dumbest thing i heard. You can at least have option to accept a perfectly good car. The one that you will be assigned next might not be as good built quality.

I think that Yoke steering is least of your worry when 1 out of only 250 delivered just randomly started to burn and almost killed it’s owner.

this would definitely help for more ev adoption. i will definitely take advantage of it when my ev gets delivered.

Good luck bud. You are braver than I am. I am not brave enough to spend the dough to just add to my current list of miseries and disappointment in life.

Of course get the newer car with heat pump and other updates. You will never run out of juice in a day anyway.

That is mean. But anyone who is buying a Tesla should accept the fact that the car will need to be some nip and tuck at/after delivery. I have accepted that fact and ordering a different brand’s EV.

I am very curious with what happens if next issue is same or worse. What will you do?

I would be more upset if i ordered from states as their price increased.
