I was coming back from the Pocanos, I was down to an 1/8th of a tank and the fuel light came on, and it said I had 89 miles remaining. I stopped for gas lol

On another note I think I may consider getting another Plaid late spring and getting rid of my current one. If the rumored changes of ambient lighting and front camera are true, I may take the hit and buy another one but maybe in black. I love my white one but I can’t get the same color as the one I had otherwise I would just keep it.
It's performance (straight line acceleration) is more in line with an S LR, not a Plaid. However the rest of the car more than makes up for that (quality, driving dynamics etc).
If the SUV like space of the Model S is one of your requirements, then the Taycan can't compete with that.

Have you driven a Taycan? The 4S (and a refreshed one is coming later this year with more range and other improvements) would be a great alternative to a Model S.

I do a lot of daily driving like this. It’s nothing for us to drive 100+ miles in one day and never leave town. Work commute is 43-44 miles roundtrip alone.
If you ever drive outside of California you may not be so lucky or at least experience what a lot others experience far as lack of charging availability.
In the LX when the DTE reads 0, it has 4 gallons left. I’m not the type to rush to a gas station soon as I see the gas light.
Has anyone driven down to the -negative %? I’ve seen videos on YouTube of it being done. I would be that guy. 🫣

I'm actually thinking of going to the Grand canyon, in most cases you fly to Las Vegas and get a rental, but I may actually drive it, as it's a beautiful drive

Anyone regularly driving 100 miles a day in town/city driving should absolutely consider an EV. They are at their most efficient in urban driving. They are the polar opposite of ICE vehicles in that respect.

When I was in SoCal on my last trip, I was driving nearly 100 miles a day, and it saved me a bunch of money, with gas out there being above $5 a gallon. I'm actually taking to my brother, and I'm going to be putting a charger in his garage this summer so I never have to hit a supercharger while I'm visiting

How does the Bz4x not have an auto parking brake?

Toyota bZ4X crashes into the ocean after the driver forgot to put the EV in park [Video]
https://electrek.co/2024/02/09/toyot...o-ocean-video/That's a pretty huge oversight. My Model Y, Ioniq 5, and Polestar will put themselves automatically in "Park" and engage the emergency brake if you are using OPD and open the driver door

I think I saw that same video. I want to say he got down to 25mph max speed trying to reach the charger.
