    Default Best new electric car?

    I have a 2017 Tesla P100D and love it but I am getting itchy for my next fully electric whip. I like the look of the Porsche Taycan but the range sucks... any ideas?

    Wait for the Tesla Plaid to come out, aside from that you aren’t getting anything your P100D isn’t giving you.

    Maybe get it wrapped a different color or something haha

    Have a look at some of the independent tests of the Taycan. It sucks on the EPA test for sure, but most reviewers are saying that it's not as bad as initially thought.

    The range on the Taycan is roughly the same as the Tesla P100D. The EPA numbers are terrible for the Taycan. No idea why.

    The problem with the Taycan is the price. If you have the means, go for it.

    Bang for the buck, nothing beats the Model 3 Performance right now.

    Upcoming, fingers crossed that the Taycan based E-Tron GT is priced a little better. Otherwise, the BMW i4 looks promising.

    I have read about the Plaid... have you seen any timing for release yet?

    - - - Updated - - -

    I have a cabin that is 350KM away from home, never had any issues with the Tesla... but its obviously a requirement for the next ride.

    My experience with it over 3 years has been that in ideal conditions, going consistently 30-40KMH over the speed limit on highways I can do about 425KM on range.

    I’m just glad someone on beyond is talking about cars. This guy must have the tallest house in Aspen.

    No idea on Plaid timing, but it’s just a tweaked model S so shouldn’t be long. Ask Tesla to put a deposit on one since you are already a customer.
