If you can’t afford a 4 wheel Porsche

Maybe this will interest you:

Define "affordable?" The base Taycan 4s starts at like $104,000 and you can easily spend $200k if you want the fancier "Turbo S!" This cross will be similarly priced.

One question I have is there a plug or something that allows the e-bikes to be charged while you're charging the car at the same time?! That would be kind of trick.

Still, if you want an "affordable" EV, at least compared to the Taycan, look at a Model Y....

Good Luck!

I can’t afford either but am assuming bikes would be way cheaper than the car, assume you could buy separate but not sure.

I noticed that as well. Do the wheels come with a sunroof?

The bike tires, like the car's roof, contain slime?

One of our old customers was very similar to this. 4 E-mtbs, s-works commuter, and an incredible collection of wealth.

With electric cars, you can put your carbon-wheeled bikes on hitch racks without worry. Cool!
