New Boxster EV?

Yup with basically no camo minus some fascia stickers/etc. Overall not very exciting to look at but I am impressed with how low to the ground they got it, likely from a design that doesn't have the drivers sitting on top of a big battery pack but instead stacking them in the center and behind the driver.

I'll admit if I'm wrong, but I don't see any way to make a lightweight, engaging car like the previous generations with an EV powertrain. Then again, I'm a manual purist with a preference for light sports cars. Sure, heavy cars post great numbers for "magazines", but they just don't have the feel.

It’s so cute!!

180k reservations for harvester? That’s insane no wonder they are starting with EREV.

She seems very skeptical of scout and the entry price of sub 60k. And she also seems like non believer in that scout will come to market and be built. Very sad.

I didn't make it very far in her review - kind of annoying to listen to. Maybe I'll watch with no audio and closed captioning.

That orange/white is kind of cool looking.

 

[J Alynn]

I'd actually buy this color combo styling.

I’ve thought several times tha frost white with a Scout orange roof would be pretty cool

Almost spit my drink out when I read this. I thought the same thing but was glad I listened because I did learn a few things

New Boxster EV?

Looks like it. I don’t like the pinched “squinting eye look of the Porsche EV’s. Wish they’d round them out a bit like the regular boxsters. Same reason I don’t like Miata’s.

Its really inexpensive... if we didn't have so many house projects lined up I'd be super tempted.

They did mention they are getting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

Sorry, but it looks worse then the the new 3 series.

This is a design I hate to love. Certain elements I think are genius but as a whole I just don’t know. And I think it needs more glass-even if spandex to hide parts. But then I look at some of the new Honda designs and they have too much junk in the trunk if that makes sense

4.5hrs - unless there is a hard ice storm, 350 mile range should make that in one charge. (60mph x 4.5 = 270 miles). Pay them to put in an RV outlet and carry a level 2 charger with you. I have about the same trip to our vacation rental. The only challenge for that is sometimes I have to do turn around trips - but there are 2 major (and numerous minor) fast charge stations in route that I already stop at each trip for bathroom breaks and snacks. When I take my LJ, I am already needing to get gas at them as well (tiny tank and terrible mileage).

Love the wheels! Is the spacesuit included in this trim?

 

[oldgeeksguide]

… nothing but one-bar towns (that's what I call really small towns around here) and dense Northwoods. Cell service doesn't even work half the way.

Well, with one bar that makes sense…

I'm constantly amazed (and as a cyber security guy - scared witless) with what AI comes up with. I asked AI to recreate the Martian scene with the Scout and this is what I got. I'd love to take credit for the wheels, but I can't. I only had to tell Gemini to fix the scale of the astronaut. The first attempt he would have been like 9' tall.
