The Porsche Taycan has a 2 speed box. It's a ZF box, who will offer it to other manufacturers.

Yeah, more along the lines of consequences I guess.
Electric car influence has caused Continental to close down a HPFP production line also.
You have to wonder what Hyundai and Kia genuinely think of their BEV success too.......it’s a double edged sword.

I'm disappointed in that photo that all the people in the crowd have phones up rather than living in the moment, everyone lives through social media and its all look where I am/what I'm doing see look at my social media profile.

I imagine in 500+ years time people will see photos of 2019 and wonder what this little rectangle thing everyone appears to be worshiping is.

Maybe if there was new EV supply to cope with the demand there would, one day, be some second hand sales listed.
Tesla aside there has been effectively zero supply and dealers like it that way too.
