We'll start with news of the Porsche Tycon.

Twelve international journalists invited yesterday to drive the new Porsche Tycon in real world conditions.

These weren't pure 70 mile an hour range

tests. In equally, they weren't hypermile tests at 30 miles an hour. So average of like 50, 60

miles an hour. And so, again, all of the different journalists reported different numbers,

but a consensus of around 365 miles on the new big battery, which I believe to be 100 kilowatt hours. It's 100 miles more

than the outgoing Taekon. But get this on the charging. When all of those journalists started charging

the Taekon on Electrify America stations, which can deliver the juice, they were getting 320, 320.3.

My friend Kyle from Out of Speck yesterday told me he got 330 kilowatts. And this isn't the

thing. The thing is that the charge curve isn't really a curve. It's just like a flat. And so it

held over 300 kilowatts to 65% state of charge. I'll say it again, over 300 kilowatts at 65% state of charge.

That's so deep into the pack. It finishes charging over 200 kilowatts. That's just crazy.

My first Renaultzzoi charged at 22 kilowatts. This is just a whole different world we're living in,

and it's exciting. And knowing Porsche as a brand, even then,

then they haven't given journalists some special cars and that the real customers, the retail

customer will get nerved versions. Even with the nought to 60 times of their combustion cars,

Porsche always lowball. Porsche always give out lower figures and then they let their customers be delighted.

So I think these figures are absolutely real and they could be even better when customer cars arrive sometime in Q2, I think.
