    Where is all the generation capacity going to come from to charge these new fleets of electric cars? We’re already taxing the existing grid.

    Riots are like sports, it's better to watch it on TV at home.

    Oh man, I forgot about those. Those things were AIDS on wheels. Looked like it was beaten with an ugly stick going down the assembly line.

    I think people will have to buy home gasoline generators. And hey, with fewer people buying gasoline, maybe the price comes down.

    On a serious note, this in areas with taxed capacity are going to collapse the grids they have. They are either going to have to accept more coal, nuclear, or figure out how to power electric cars with their smug emissions.

    I am intrigued by the electric Tacan, but I've shied away from Porsche SUVs. I do have a 911 though and I'm quite sure the Gods have decreed it will remain a gas powered car. I did buy my wife a Toyota hybrid SUV thingy and I'm quite impressed with it so far.

    No doubt, it sounds like Porsche has made a beast of a EV car. Like I said, I'm not against them. The speed of them is amazing, and you aren't running a gas engine beyond physics to do it.

    What I didn't know is that the EVs have issues with long time hard use. They don't go well on the track, lap after lap- the batteries get hot from discharge and the car protects itself. Seems to me that a cooling system fro the batteries would be a good idea. I think R&T can't get 3 good laps out of a Tesla before it goes in limp mode.

    I've always been a jack-ass though. Was at a buddies house in the late 80s and his Dad's friend stops by in his brand new Red Corvette convertible. The guy leaves and the dad is like "Sweet car, eh?". All I said was 'Meh, automatic...".

    I actually liked the look of the Aztek! For it's time it was so different

    Or the capacity to produce that many batteries... and ultimately their waste?
