because all their cars are kind of inefficient, but because they're under the Volkswagen umbrella, you can kind of get that whole spread and it works a little bit easier.

Right. The Cayenne is the midsize and the Macan is the compact. Okay. Exactly. And a lot of Volkswagen stuff shared with all these cars. Engines are shared across tons of model lines now.

That's right. It's for an engineering company to doing this kind of sacrilege. But the engine in the Cayenne Turbo, which is the best Cayenne, is in the Lamborghini Urus, an Italian car, the Bentley Bentayga, a British car. But Volkswagen owns all of these. It's in the Audi RS6 and the Audi SQ7. It's like everything is now just spread across all these brands.

2012 model year. So Porsche was pretty early with the concept for Mission E, yeah. Yeah. Not everybody was sure that was going to catch on.

Toyota just came out with their first electric car yesterday. I'm not exaggerating. It was like eight weeks ago.

Totally. The Prius, they invented it all. And now they're like, electric? I don't know. They're still like waiting and seeing on electric.

Yeah, no, it's been well received. It drives like a Porsche, which I think was everybody's fear about an electric car, that you'd lose the engine sound, you'd lose the feel of it. But the Taycan does indeed drive like a Porsche.

Yeah. I think probably because development started about when they started Mission E, and that was in 15, and sedans were still a big part of the market. But most brands now that are coming out with electric cars as their first car are coming out with SUVs. You look at Rivian, Pure SUV and Truck, Hummer EV, there's a ton. I think Porsche made a mistake.

Yeah, yeah. No, absolutely. And they'll continue to innovate. There's an electric Macan is coming soon, so they say. And so it'll be fine. And Taycan, I mean, one could argue that Porsche needs to come out with an electric sporty car first because if you come out with an electric SUV, that's your first one. It's like, eh.

That's what they would say. But let's be honest here. The future is electric. There will be electric versions of all these cars, and probably within our not-so-distant lifetimes, they will be purely electric.
