No its the Porsche battery.

Sorry, are you stating that there is a problem with the Porsche battery because I'll be very surprised if Voight actually says that...
The man is consistently hilarious, or atleast that what's an anonymous source at Teslarati tells me.

Yes, the article says there is a problem with the Porsche battery according to a Porsche whistle blower, whether this is true I don't know.

I'll ask again, are you or are you not stating that Porsche has a serious problems with the batteries in the Taycan?

In the thread I did explicitly state that I do not know:ody

Right, so when I said 'I take it that was Alex Voight' and you said 'No it's Porsche batteries' what you meant was 'Yes it's just Alex being Alex'? This would be a massive story, don't you think it's strange that none of the other BEV sites who are markedly pro-Tesla and each others best source for stories haven't picked it up? Can't think why ...although it might be the same reason even under a report in Teslarati the most reccded comment is calling it out as FUD...

As I noted I am just citing the article with no knowledge of the validity.
If it is a whistle blower then likely the other media organisations do not speak with the person and so can neither confirm or deny.
As far as I know there has been a denial from part of Porsche, suggesting it is false, but the original breaker of the story argues that this information is known only to a small subset of Porsche and is not general knowledge within Porsche.
If it is a fabrication I would expect Porsche to issue a categorical statement that there is nothing wrong with their batteries and to possibly request that the original article is removed or perhaps they feel their reputation is good enough and don't want to waste time even discussing it further.
I repeat that I have no first hand information, just the claim that there are problems with Porsche batteries which I can not judge for accuracy.
This will perhaps get resolved one way or the other or just forgotten, but I do not know what will happen.

It's Official, Tesla Model Y Long Range RWD Not Going To Happen
...Back in February 2021, word got out that Tesla wasn’t going to offer a Model Y Long Range RWD model, even though it had advertised it and had taken orders for it.
...Mind you, it appears that those reports were accurate as Tesla has now officially officially ruled out the possibility of the Model Y Long Range RWD model ever entering production. According to Teslarati, Model Y LR RWD reservation holders received the following message in their account pages.
“Your current configuration is no longer available. Update your order in your Tesla account.”
So what happens to these customers who have valid reservations for a car Tesla is no longer willing to make? Well, they will need to select a different Model Y variant or lose their deposit.
...In the US, customers only have two dual-motor AWD Model Ys to choose from, the Model Y Long Range ($60,990) and Model Y Performance ($63,990), both more expensive than what the LR RWD model would have cost.

Er, most consumers of cars want an ICE product. Can't recall you pushing those products for customers at any point?

Do they?
I have still to find anyone with a BEV who wants to go back to ICE. I am sure such folk exist but I haven't met any.
