Well, gas has hit above $5 here. Thankfully I'm mostly powered by the sun, and the price of the sun doesn't go up...unless it's blocked mushroom clouds....

You do know what an exponential function is right.

Well, no offense, but, after all, you live in California. Even if it is not always $5 a gallon, there is probably no such thing as cheap gas in that state.

It was always above $5 in my city for non-costco gas. I would say around $5.20 for premium. after this past week, around $5.50

None taken. It's also gone up average of 30 cents per gallon in other states. I take it you approve of never ending wars

Taycan seems expensive for the performance. $105k for 0-60 in 4.5 seconds is really bad.

What a joke! I didn't know it was this slow. I thought it'd be faster. I saw a rather old i8 a while back with a plate saying 4.4 something. I wonder how the driver feels about it driving among the Teslas. But I guess if Taycan is at 4.5, 4.4 is pretty good. Lol.

Test drive one of those at the auto show. Spectacular. Toyota should have made a Land Cruiser EV on par with Rivian
