    With Lucid being blown up in the news about their above 500m range, I think they'll have something to brag about. I know batteries will become relatively cheaper, so we will see higher energy density and less weight.

    With that being said, I think they will be moving to 100kW packs for most of their lineup

    I respect electric cars and electric performance but I live for the sound of the internal combustion. I'll have (and have had) fun in a performance Model S but I can't smile long enough because I'm not hearing the sound of a an awesome sounding exhaust or supercharger whine or hitting insane downshifts (auto, dual clutch, or manual).

    Yeah thats the only problem with a Tesla, Like its fast as fuck 0-60 in like 3.2-4.2 secs but i hate that there is no sound when you go fast in it or when your driving in general

    If you need a good workshop manual to work on cars, https://www.emanualonline.com/ is excellent. If I read correctly, this is the exact program and info w/ pictures the dealerships use. I got a full VM of Elsawin for my 2013 allroad. I'll be installing dynamic turn signals in about 2 weeks and could see all tabs and how to take the cover off. Same for tranny fluid (since Audi says the ZF8 is lifetime (ZF says otherwise lmao)). Also when I need to do my timing chain in about 20,000 I can see everything broken down. ALSO very use because I'm a torque nazi, and anything over 10nm that is on the engine/tranny/powertrain must be torqued down, EVERYTHING (yes that includes the fluid drain/fill bolts)
