y'know, I don't play overwatch and never have

and prolly never will, because I wanted a story mode and that was a cruel joke actiblizz played on everyone

but this fucking ad for a new event sponsored by the fuckin car company

and they are the lamest skins imaginable

why are these skins indistinguishable from unpainted warhammer minifigs

these look like if I flipped them over I'd find the telltale signs of poorly sanded sprues on the feet

pharah's gun looks like a warframe concept that got rejected for looking like if you sneezed it'd collapse and wobble for ten minutes and taste vaguely like lemon but mostly like a 70s cookbook

the only obvious sign that these skins are porsche-related is the emblem above d.va's head

how on god's green earth did somebody design this and think "this definitely evokes the iconic lines and implict speed of the boxster" or even just a basic "this definitely looks just like a porsche panamera" (nobody wants anything to look like a porsche panamera)

I am assuming, from the use of the word "electric," that they want to bring the youths' attention to their fantastic line of electric sports cars, which overwatch players of all ages can definitely afford and also want

hey kids! d.va wants you to go buy a fantastic new 2024 Porsche Taycan! it's new and sexy and definitely doesn't look like every other sedan in full profile and its starting price is only $99,400! (yes I looked it up) That's less than a hundred grand! And for $111k you can upgrade to the world's coolest electric station wagon, the Taycan 4 Cross Turismo!

I'm not even that into porsches. I found out today that I know way more random shit about porsches than I thought I did

it's the battlenet app's fault I had to see this and I'm yelling at it like a grouchy old car person

god dammit

THEY'D BE FINE IF THEY WERE JUST GENERIC SPACE SHIP SKINS OR SOMETHING. BE BORING GRAY AND BLACK LIKE NASA WHO MAKE BORING-GRAY-AND-BLACK SUPER COOL BECAUSE THEY GO TO SPACE IN IT. THESE ARE NOT NASA SKINS. BOO

[max--phillips]

Alright, kids, my unhinged data gathering about EVs has culminated in a google sheet that is now, to the best of my knowledge, complete. I have looked at every active car manufacturer in the US, their EVs (if they have any), their plug-in hybrids (if they have any) (also, referred to as PHEVs), their base price, their max price (meaning, I went in to their build function and added all the shit to it I possibly could), their minimum range, maximum available range, and the type of vehicle. For PHEVs, this included electric-only range, total range, and MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent).

You can visit the Google sheet where this information lives here. Edit from June of 2024: the Google sheet is currently unavailable, sorry!

First of all: Why the hell did I do this?

Great question. I got passed on the road about a month ago by a pack of Lucid Air test drive vehicles. It was a rare instance of me not recognizing a vehicle--I literally work with them every day to make a living, and I consider myself to be pretty acquainted with the available auto manufacturers in the US. So, I looked them up, and it's a new EV brand, which might be a good thing vis a vis bringing more players to the market and all that jazz... but their base MSRP is fucking $87,000. I got so mad about the fact that manufacturers just keep bringing luxury EVs to the market and not like, consumer-level, reasonably priced EVs that I decided to compile this list of information to... well. To be fair I don't know what I was hoping to accomplish with this. At most, prove a point, I guess?

With that out of the way... what did we learn from this?

No more electric SUV options. Society has progressed past the need for more electric SUV options.

I compiled information on a grand total of 40 current EV models, 43 future EV models, 35 current PHEV models, and uh... 2 future PHEV models. Of those, 34 current EVs, 26 future EVs, 23 current PHEVs, and 1 of the future PHEVs were SUVs. That's 70%. Meanwhile, we have (in all four categories) 1 lone cargo van/work vehicle, 10 coupes, 8 pickup trucks, 1 hatchback, 1 minivan, 29 sedans, 3 wagons, and 1 microbus (VW ID. Buzz my beloved). And listen, don't get me wrong: SUVs are great. They're versatile (the U in SUV is for 'utility' after all!) and they're filling the niche that minivans once did, but damn, 70% of the market? Come ON guys. We're more interesting than that, I hope.

Are you not rich? Want an EV? Too bad.

The average base MSRP for an EV in the US right now is $65,556. Are you kidding me? The average base MSRP for the future EVs I found information on is $86,377. The PHEVs include some performance/ultra-luxury brands because of the fact electric motors provide a lot of torque and are desirable in some performance vehicles, so even taking those out, the average base MSRP of a PHEV is $63,442.

The superlatives

Current EVs

First, the good superlatives:

Lowest base MSRP & max price both go to the Chevy Bolt EV, ranging from $26,500 to $34,000. (sedan, range around 259 miles)

Highest range (unfortunately) goes to the Lucid Air, the vehicle that started me on this whole thing. The minimum range is 410 miles, which is the highest minimum range available. The maximum range is 516 miles, blowing the Tesla Model S extended range out of the water by 111 miles. (sedan, price ranges from $87,400 to $249,000).

Now, the bad superlatives

Highest base MSRP goes to the Audi RS e-tron GT, at a whopping $143,900. This beats our highest maximum price model's base MSRP by $2,700. (sedan, range around 232)

Highest maximum price goes to the Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo and Cross Turismo at $304,000. Fun fact: $30,000 of that maximum price is for custom paint. (wagon, range from 222-235 miles)

Lowest range goes to the Mazda MX-30 with a measly 100 miles of range. The next lowest range, the Ford E-Transit, a cargo van, gets 108! This vehicle is currently only available in California. (SUV, price ranges from $34,110 to $43,000)

Current PHEVs

Good superlatives

Highest electric only range goes to Land Rover, both the Range Rover and the Range Rover Sport, with 51 miles. (SUV, MPGe for both is 42, total range for both is 480, price for the Range Rover Sport ranges from $118,200 to $159,000, and price for the Range Rover Sport ranges from $142,575 tp $170,000).

Highest total range, best MPGe, AND lowest base MSRP goes to the Toyota Prius Prime, with 640 miles of total range and a whopping 133 MPGe. Its base MSRP is $32,350. (sedan, electric only range is 44 miles, maximum price is $50,000)

Lowest maximum price goes to the Kia Niro, which will only let you spend $44,000 on it. (SUV, base MSRP $33,840, electric only range 33 miles, total range 560, MPGe 108)

Bad superlatives (a lot of ties for this one, folks)

Worst total range: a tie between the BMW XM and the MINI Countryman, both at 300 miles. (BMW XM: SUV, 30 miles electric only range, 46 MPGe, costs between $159,00 and $186,000. MINI Countryman: Sedan, 17 miles electric only range, 73 MPGe, costs around $41,000)

Worst electric only range is a tie between the Ferrari 296 and Ferrari SF90, both at 15 miles. I have thoughts (derogatory) about these models, but I'll save them. (both coupes; both 330 miles total range; 296 gets 47 MPGe, SF90 gets 51 MPGe. Base MSRP for the 296 is $237,500. I'll get to the SF90 in a moment,)

Worst MPGe goes to the McLaren Artura at 39 MPGe. (Coupe, 330 total range, 19 miles electric only range, base MSRP $237,500)

The highest listed maximum price goes to the Porsche Panamera E-Hybrid, at $295,815. (Sedan, 19 miles electric-only range, 480 miles total range, 52 MPGe, base MSRP is $109,000.)

The highest base MSRP goes, once again, to the Ferrari SF90 at $524,815. Just reading that number hurts me.

Finally, a five-way tie for the most likely to have the highest actual maximum price, because they're cowards and don't put their pricing on their websites. These are the Ferrari SF90, the Ferrari 296, the Bentley Flying Spur, the Bentley Bentayga, and the McLaren Artura. (Bentley Flying Spur: Sedan, 26 miles electric-only range, 500 miles total range, 46 MPGe, base MSRP $217,525. Bentayga: SUV, 29 miles electric only range, 448 total range, 45 MPGe, base MSRP $200,025).

I'm not going to do any superlatives for future vehicles because I don't want to jump the gun on any judgements. Plus, with some of them the MSRPs are just like... educated guesses. Anyway, I have the whole google sheet here if you wanna poke around.

What conclusions can we draw from this?

I appreciate that the US wants to regulate new car sales sooner rather than later to encourage new EV sales in an attempt to be more environmentally friendly. However, until the average price for a new EV comes down significantly, more and more people are going to be in the used car market whether they want to be or not. Beyond that, we simply do not have the infrastructure for this. There are gas stations on damn near every corner, but the closest charging station to me is 2 miles away, and even that's a Tesla Supercharger, so it's only useful if you have a Tesla. The closest non-Tesla charger is 4 miles away. Sure, you can plug it in at home, but in order for that to be done at more than a snail's pace, you need to have it specially installed which is an additional cost that people may not be able to afford.

Additionally, it's interesting to me that being environmentally friendly is still such a huge privilege that's seemingly marketed towards wealthy people, yet huge corporations and the ultrawealthy people actually polluting our planet continue to offload the blame onto poor people for using single use plastics. It's a bizarre paradox.

In conclusion, car manufacturers need to get their shit together so more people can buy EVs at a price that isn't insane. Thank you goodbye

The Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo redefines what a family car can be, blending the practicality of an estate with the exhilarating performance Porsche is known for. It’s an expansion of the Taycan saloon that adds both space and functionality without sacrificing the iconic Porsche driving experience.

[e-carlease]

New and exciting all-electric cars are fast incoming to the UK for 2024 - some cost-effective, some family-friendly and others will sit in the luxury segment. And one of the most hotly anticipated EV’s to arrive is the SUV Porsche Macan, which at January 2024 is going through rigorous testing by the manufacturer. In petrol (and diesel) format, the smaller 4x4 to the Cayenne has been immensely popular in the Britain but with the Taycan saloon / cross-turismo / sport-turismo battery performance vehicle also proving to be popular, it wasn’t going to be too long before the German prestige manufacturer made some changes. Based on the new Premium Platform Electric (PPE), the upcoming Macan is set to be sportier, precise and more efficient in order to deliver the high standards which many Porsche customers expect.    

One of the big aspects of this all-electric Macan is the optimised aerodynamics, which has been achieved via the Porsche Active Aerodynamics (PAA). Vehicle range is of course one of the biggest factors which electric car customers have to consider within their suitability asessment and the architecture / tech will contribute immensely to this. With an automatically extending rear spoiler, active cooling flap and flat floor, the streamlined Macan is measuring a drag coefficient of 0.25, which essentially makes this one of the most aerodynamically efficient SUVs on the market. And in terms of battery configuration, the Macan will have a gross battery of 100 kWh with 95 kWh usable, making it somewhat larger than the Taycan with its 93.4 kWh and 83.7 kWh respectively. But not unlike the Taycan the 800-volt charging capability will feature. This translates to peak DC charging of circa 270 kW. Expect 10-80% charging times of just under 25 minutes. AC charging will start at 11 kW AC but expect the 22 kW to be an upgradable option.
