You know, the thing about electric cars is they all can accelerate incredibly well. And that's like insane. And Taycan is faster than this. It's faster than everything. It does zero to six in like two seconds.

Yeah. And so it's beneficial in that too. But at the end of the day, a four-door car, especially one that's made in not limited quantities, is never going to have the effect that like a supercar, halo car has on like really showing people what a brand can like do. And so they will, I suspect in the next couple of years, they will come out with the next supercar, which will be...

you know, look like this and they'll only make a thousand and it'll cost $2 million and it will be fully electric and do zero to 60 in one and a half seconds and even more ridiculous.

So I think that will continue to help the values of these cars increase. Because at the end of the day, as cars age, they all get slow, right? This car is now that fast by modern standards. So you start to look for other things that make them special, which is the feel, the sound, etc. I had a press car dropped off the other day, a Kia EV6 GT, which is the electric Kia crossover.

It is sized and designed to compete with like the Toyota RAV4. But this is the high-performance version. It does zero to 60 in like 3.2 seconds. It's faster than a Carrera GT. So yeah, like what does a supercar even mean anymore? Like ultimately, like what does it offer that a Kia EV6 GT for, by the way, $51,000 does not offer?

And the answer just has to be like, it's lower, it's wider, so it handles better. I mean, that's one of the big missing things from a lot of these fast accelerating electric cars is that they're not necessarily like sports cars really. They're fast, but they're not really sports cars. And so I guess that's going to kind of be the future. But you're right. Power is being democratized.

Everyone can now access a car that does zero to 60 in three seconds. Right. And so I don't know. It'll be interesting to see how the sports car responds.

Purportedly. But even then, how do you financially extricate development costs of a powertrain that's used in multiple vehicles or a platform? I mean, there's an Audi version of the Taycan called the e-tron GT.

It's just not the same, but it helps give them more legitimacy.

One of the interesting things is, you know, the Chinese only buy four-doors. They only want four-door cars. There's almost no, because there's no heritage Porsche in China. It's a luxury good. It's a cool brand that sells SUVs. And there's a lot of chauffeur-driven vehicles there. And so, like, they don't, it's almost none as sports car sales in China. Wow.
