  1. renault is more polluting than even the defeat devise VW's. that's why they don't sell cars in north america.

  2. luxury, high quality, performance and in real world tests the Taycan has the same range as the Teslas.

  3. yeah. go and buy an american 3 tonne pick up or suv instead. so much cleaner and healthier. or by a renault. they are more polluting than even the VW's with defeat devise.

  4. why don't you go outside and try to buy a renault in the US. tell me all about it when you are done.

  5. electric vehicles are not more efficient. battery losses alone are 30%. power transfer to your house another 20%. have you ever used an electric vehicle? to fill the battery you pay top dollar. it's more expensive per mile to drive electric than gas in most countries.

  6. actually they protected their costumers from government overregulation. their engines are powerfull and efficient and still cleaner than engines just 5 years ago. today there is better technology but buck when they did that there wasn't. no car runs clean all the time. you drive up a hill in high gear, you create smoke. you start your engine on a cold day and drive away immediately. smoke. the fuel you use sub paar. smoke. so what do you want. no power and no efficiency, using lots a gas or a bit of smoke sometimes.

  7. then have fun using your electric motor in a car without electricity. see for yourself how useful that efficiency is.

  8. modern mpg are measured not at constant speed but at a more realistic variable speed including occasional breaking. so you get better mpg as advertised if traffic allows it. so your old junk heap does not get better mpg and it certainly is not cleaner. it's not the mpg's that kills people by pollution of the air.

  9. the EPA rating is trash so the entire video is pointless since it's based on wrong numbers.

  10.  goodfella21f  all real world tests show the Taycan has the same range as the Teslas.

  11. audi already has a 48V battery in most of their cars. it's just better and more reliable than a 12V alone. so the only thing they added here is one motor-compressor. quite simple solution for the age old problem of turbo lag.

  12. turns out the tesla and the porsche have the same real world range.
    2
  13. so are you going to take down the video since the EPA numbers are wrong?

  14.  @rashadarbab2769  watch the real world range tests. the tayan has the same real world range as the newest teslas despite being a sports car. engineering explained did his video based on the wrong US range numbers.

  16. in real world range tests the Porsche Taycan has better range than the Model 3 and about the same range as Model S (depending on speed maybe 5-10% less) and that's all that really matters.

  17. except it's factually wrong. they real world range of the taycan is equal to tesla as it turns out.

  18. nowhere, his numbers are wrong. the taycan has a real world range equal to tesla.

  19.  @rogerfroud300  the porsche website also claims the 0-60 time of the taycan turbo 2 is slower than the tesla models performance yet the taycan turbo s beats the tesla all the time in real world tests. that's why I said real world tests. since tesla and porsche and especially EPA numbers can't be trusted. watch the car review channels like nextmove and watch?v=VB24iJbusgQ&list=LLHHfFsER7GV3CZjPYQlg3ew&index=3&t=0s

  20. the Luftwaffe invented that in ww2. nothing new. the british even build a train with a triangle opposed piston diesel engine.

  21. except it's factually wrong. the real world range of the taycan is equal to tesla as it turns out and carwow did a drag race as well and the porsche won that as well which was the proof that top gears test was correct and the tesla fangirls cried foul for nothing.

  22. I have a renewable energy provider so..

  23. thy real world range of the taycan is equal to tesla as it turns out.

  24. the piston goes down and then up again. every loss by creating the low pressure is made up for by using the low pressure to get the piston back up again. like an air spring. no losses. just think about it and stop making assumptions about 'efficiency' and 'limited circumstances' if you don't know what you are talking about.

  25. yeah so humble. "With this in mind I would suggest this requires a very complicated control mechanism and/or it will only produce efficiency gains under very limited circumstances in real world driving." that's how a humble person sounds like.

  26. the taycan currently holds the real world range record at edmunds
