According to Google Gemini using an image reverse search:

The image shows the silhouette of a 1977 Ford Mustang II Cobra II. The car was a pony car manufactured by Ford from 1973 to 1978.

- The Mustang II Cobra II was Ford's attempt to bring back muscle car style during an era of high gas prices and fuel shortages.
- It featured bold striping, a rear spoiler, a hood scoop, and sport wheels to give it a track-ready appearance.
- The car was available with a range of engines, including a 2.3L inline-4 and a 5.0L V8.

Today, it is considered a collector's item and a nostalgic reminder of the Mustang's evolution.

You are both nerds and also, correct.

I won a contest, I get to have a Polestar 4 for the weekend and a stay in Whistler.

Are you guys blind? It's evidently a 1977 Mustang Cobra.

What gave it away for me is the way Polestar sets their wheelbase and the overall shape. They are one of the few ones that push the wheels all the way out to the extreme and it shows in the silhouette

I went to check out the Gravity today. I really quite like it, however even the guy at the showroom said 1) dont buy the first year.... lots of growing pains, 2) wait for a better lease deal like the air.

Its quite spacious, materials are good, and even if the styling is a bit bland, its still pretty good looking vs a stupid tesla.

massaging seats only at the front.... fold out tables for the rear are kinda ghetto looking. They have divots in them for kids to prop up their iphones / tablets, but it gets in the way of me doing lines of coke.

Fold down seats are nice, can easily convert into a huge camper car and that 700ish km of range is very useful. Also he said the only chinese person who bought one is some ah bak doctor in richmond.. majority are old white guys.

Wouldn't you just put the line along the divot?

I find it funny that even the sales dude would tell people to avoid buying the first year cars, as well as waiting for a better lease deal LOL~ Are they not on commission for moving products?!

I am really not a fan of these rectangular-ish steering wheels -- and the Tesla yoke is just atrocious. WTF is wrong with the good ol' round steering wheel?

A slight flat bottom is tolerable.

I would wait for the Touring.

The trims go Pure -> Touring -> Grand Touring -> Sapphire
They are only making the Gravity in GT right now with 700km range and 800hp, and Touring is supposed to come next year. My guesstimate is it'll still have 550km range and 600hp which is honestly plenty.

The guy at the showroom said they are ballparking the Touring to come in at around 113k.

Didn't you find the roofline too low? I found it a little claustrophobic.

Porsche just beat current Chinese charging speeds.
10-80% in 18 minutes for 100kW is insane, that's 290kW average.
this is probably underrated too, knowing porsche.

Lotus Eletre and Zeekr claim higher max numbers, but only average 320kW.
Tesla is still putting along at 90kW.

VW HAS to be cooking up something like the Chinese megawatt stuff, those average 600kW.

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.

so that lucid guy told me they were very worried about Chinese Ev's coming next year. He said BYD could be the first, and if so its game over for lucid, tesla, and all the other startup chumps. He also hinted that BYD might ultimately make a bid for Lucid in order to get their cars into the market

pretty interesting... hopefully it happens.

Imagine making a cayenne EV and calling it a “turbo”
Lulz at 145k starting MSRP and 200k for the turbo.

^i guess their taycan wasnt depreciating fast enough, might as well add an SUV to that free dive. Porsche EV is borderline Maserati level of depreciation.

Good. bitch ass company deserves nothing else other than to go tits up. But in the meantime keep milking these chumps for 200-800k on a lousy beetle.
