What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: TechCrunch.
Hank LedgerPorsche's electric Macan Turbo is a two-row crossover with 630 horsepower and a 100-kilowatt-hour battery, TechCrunch reports in a review titled an automotive existential crisis.
Vera BullockI love a car that questions itself. That's a vehicle on a journey of self-discovery.
Hank LedgerThe reviewer's test car cost $149,610 with destination fees. The starting price is $112,700.
Vera BullockThirty-seven grand in customization options.
Hank LedgerThirty-seven thousand dollars of personalized.
Hank LedgerOne option is a $1,710 passenger display, and the reviewer's wife pointed out the family washing machine can also play YouTube videos.
Vera BullockThe washing machine is a competitor!
Hank LedgerThen there's the name. The reviewer says friends complained about the Turbo badge, because an electric car technically cannot have a turbo.
Vera BullockWhich makes it a heritage name, not a mistake.
Hank LedgerThe navigation also sent him to a slow fifty-kilowatt charger, then a fast three-hundred-fifty-kilowatt one across the street, and kept saying go to the slow one after he parked at the fast one.
Hank LedgerThe washing machine plays YouTube too, and nobody calls it a Turbo.
