Just cant get over the cayenne EV interior, looks like a standard VW template they can reuse through their whole brand lineup, nothing porsche unique aside from the chronograph, just change the logo on the steering wheel.
Im sure gen-z will tell us why all screen dashboard is a good thing.

anyone have insight on the i4 and 330e? seeing a lot of them come up for sale on the pre own lots as i'm guessing they are all lease returns.

I kinda want i7 once you black out the grill and put some big faces on it looks pretty nice, isn't it just poverty rolls Royce.

:notbad::megusta:

all i see is pig nose and ching chong eyes.

That first blacked out one looks good, but I don't want to be cleaning those wheels.

Disappointed with the exterior of the new EV Cayenne. In the spy shots the front end looked far more aggressive. On the production car it looks like the designers just gave up.

And the current 7 Series is hideous. I owned an F01 B7 and I regret selling it. I think that gen of the 7 Series was the best looking.

It can't be compared to s class, but i7 seems to be better than eqs, given how shitty the plastic interior is based on hoovies ownership videos

Most 7 series looked elegant, until the current G70 one... :Puke:

I had an I4 as a loaner and loved it. I only really got the Taycan instead since having an M2 and an i4 would overlap too much, plus the Taycan has more room in the back.

They seem like a good deal used.

Yea but realistically where can you charge at those numbers? Porsche dealers? China? We don't even have the infrastructure for the laneways we want to build. What's the public charger rate right now at gas stations? Let alone will it kill your Porsche battery.

Majority of new buildouts are doing 350kW+, even the cheapos at BC Hydro:

- Electrify Canada/BC Hydro 350: https://new.abb.com/ev-charging/high-power-charging
- On the Run 400kw: https://e-mobility.abb.com/en/products/all-one/a400]

300kW average means it'll accept 250kw+ the WHOLE time, even at 65%.
Teslas are doing like 60kw at 65%, Cybertruck has the "latest gen 800V" and accepts 70kW at 65% LMFAO

Most importantly, it means you can do road trips brainless like a gas car
No stations for the next 100km and it's all uphill? Cold? Massive headwind?
Don't care, plug it in, use the fat charging curve for 10 minutes, keep driving.

- Petro Canada 200kW: https://www.chargepoint.com/en-ca/bu...ess-plus/specs

If you want 600kW, simple - electric semis are already doing this by plugging in 2 handles.
Tesla Sueprcharger V4 is supposed to do 1000kW too, but they don't have a single V4 cabinet deployed.
All of the V4 looking things have the v4 handle and cable, but are using v3 electronics/power supply.

i4 m40i is a really really solid car. Very well planted and quick. Pro that it doesn't look like a run of the mill EV too.

I haven't driven one but I've done an early S2S run with one.. and it keeps up with CTRs / GT Cars if that's any frame of reference.

I'd definitely consider one if track was not lyfe
