    Solid choice. If sex appeal was a car...

    More than I could ever afford (and it's not even the 911), but I do love the way they look.

    GT4 RS is very rich for my blood - but 981 GT4’s are more manageable:D

    The biggest lesson learned from my EV experience was either:

    a) buy used
    b) lease with the right deal

    Don’t do what I did. I got ****ed

    I think it depends when you purchase and current rebates

    I can't believe you only have 11k miles on yours. What a blast to drive.

    Market is completely different today than 2021. I bought before Elon dropped new prices and before the EV market in general declined rapidly.

    With dealer inventory stockpiled, incentives, lower pricing, now is a more compelling time to buy (except rates suck, obviously).

    Overall, I think we all learned that the market views EV’s as appliances and they don’t follow a normal depreciation schedule.

    oh, I thought it said 11k. My vision was off a little bit due to my optic nerve being smashed in the back of my skull by the g force. :rofl:

    30/70 was pretty fun and with not having ideal road conditions it performed very well.

    Say whatever you want about EV’s, but you can’t deny the performance. They boogie!

    Mine performed flawlessly in the snowy winters of MN!

    Definitely different from years back. My 7 seat LR MY was $39k with 0% interest back in October.

    Whatever this forum told me to do
    Did someone say "depreciation"?

    are we not still following "fight club" rules as it come to that word?



    after all is said...Tesla EV's are the most damn awesome (affordable) accelerating cars on the planet.

    If that damn MSp was just a wee bit higher off the ground, we'd still have it.

    that being said the MXp is just as nasty.



    AND...the 911 Turbo is awesome, and looks great in the rear view mirror of the MSp.

    1. is this available in the USA?
    2. it <shockingly>looks just like a MS.
    3. let's get one stateside & get it over to Dragtimes to see if the bull shits in the buckwheat.
    4. Look at those specs...We live in amazing times.
    5. $72k...doubt it will cost anywhere near that north of the Gulf of America.
    6. has it passed NHTSA safety tests yet? the MS scored VERY high.

    I was going to say it looks a mix of a McLaren, MS, and Porsche.

    I appreciate what EVs can do, what they offer and so on... They're just not for me. I have had brutally fast cars, one of which RS7 which was AWD and was blistering off the line, but not as fast as many Tesla's... I quickly became bored. It just, went. There was no drama, no driving skill involved and the fun wore off quickly. After driving a friends plaid, it was cool and fast, but the thrill is similar to rollercoaster and I wouldn't want that everyday.
