Apple CEO Tim Cook Makes Unusual Appearance in Porsche Taycan Turbo GT Premiere Video

[sleeptodream]

Taycan is far from perfect. VW is imploding because they rushed their buggy EVs to market.

I wouldn’t call VP exactly polished nor was the first iPhone nor the touchbar MBP’s nor the G4 cube nor the trash can Mac Pro nor Siri v1.0 - v10.0 nor iPhone 4’s antenna nor Apple Music 1.0… you get my point. Your selective memory is filtering out many of Apple’s failures or quirks/defects in their products.

Or do their imperfections make headlines because they’re few and far between, and sensational headlines get clicks? When they’re known for their high quality, any tiny slip up gets noticed. It’s like if a straight A student gets a bad grade, or a top tier athlete has a bad game. People talk about it, because it’s unusual. It doesn’t mean they’re not great overall.

I’ve had a lot of Apple products and a lot of non-Apple products over the years. Everything else is worse when you look at the whole package, especially if you appreciate build quality and design

No company or product is completely without faults. These things were designed by humans who make mistakes, and sometimes the human checking their work misses something. But big picture, Apple gets sooo many things right (except for gaming, but I have a theory about why they don’t really try in that space)

Turbochargers we NOT new in 1974 are you insane?

Please read my post one more time...

First turbocharged vehicle launched sometime in 1960s. 1974 was the FIRST PORSCHE 911 model with a Turbocharger - which actually made the Turbo name into a brand and helped mass-commercialisation of the turbocharging in 1980s.

Changing the terms of your original statement. Still wrong, but okay?

The idea is that the technical aspect of a turbocharger, forcing the induction of air in an ICE is irrelevant.

you can name an EV as Turbo when you are Porsche, because Turbo in Porsche world means "it's the fastest model"

Turbo is a brand for Porsche - and they can use it whenever/wherever they damn well please

The Turbo for Porsche usually means the fastest (or maybe best) version but that isn't always true (at least for the 911). All modern 911 (with a few exceptions) are turbocharged now even if they don't have the label.

Everyone here who can't afford AVP hating on TC for promoting it. Bizarro

correct Hence the fact Porsche does not put the turbo badge to these models, still only to highest performance ones.

No one screams their lungs out when they don't do that, but when Taycan gets it - everybody loses their minds lol

Very nice! Great that Porsche's 50 year heritage with it's function of making cars faster still helps to identify the highest performance versions of its newest models.
