I did see that headline yesterday. Good news for the Sniper crowd

I wouldn't buy an Edelbrock component for the next few months. I suspect manufacturing quality will suffer until they weed out the "skilled" MS labor that will certainly be among the first batch of applicants.

Holy freaking calipers Batman
I count 5 but maybe 6 piston and massive.
Had heard of but not seen one in the wild

Awesome brakes. TERRIBLE looking wheels.

Agreed @dnp

In person they are a little better but it looks clownish

I haven't seen one, but I'd venture a guess that there's a pretty hefty up-charge for those heinous looking things, right?

That I don't know....that style seems to be most common. I actually love seeing really bad OE wheels. No way I would spend the 6 figures for something like that and not have a better wheel on it...

Tomato, tomato (read with different pronunciations).

No complaints here....I'd drive the hell out of it.

This wheel seemed most popular on the very first ones that came over from Deutschland. The ones I have looked at recently have thankfully gone with a different option. I love the look of the car though. The Tesla S still beats the Tacan on mileage though, by a bunch.

This one is at Jackson Porsche. Turbo S $202,000 YIKES

Also odd but I prefer that wheel you’ve shown for sure. At least arrange the “fan blades” to cool the rotor right?

What’s funny is there were 2 white Tesla’s on the same very back of the lot row. Same one my dad used to pick at the mall with his 89 Cressida. While we bitched about the walk as kids now I kinda get it. Yet park the 80 front and center given that it has door ding preventers installed

my wheel of choice on the Taycan.

Is that a new model 4 door? Did they discontinue the ugly one ?
