Highlights and Topics
1. A Long-Distance Family Road Trip in a Tesla [06:09]
- We drove a Tesla Model 3 from Hyogo Prefecture to Toba in Mie Prefecture and back—a round trip of about 670 km. We had no concerns about charging and enjoyed a comfortable drive.
- We checked in advance that our hotel had AC charging. The battery was at around 50% when we arrived, and it had charged to 100% by the next morning.
- We were impressed by the Tesla Model 3’s efficiency. The trip showed us that frequent fast-charging stops aren’t necessary, even on a long drive.
2. Why the Porsche 987 Spyder Is So Special [49:08]
- The Porsche 987 Spyder stands out for its nimble handling and direct driving feel. Its light weight, precise steering, and sharp responses make it a highly accomplished sports car.
- The 987 Spyder offers the pure pleasure of driving. Its analog character delivers a very different experience from today’s cars, which rely more heavily on electronic controls.
- One thing to watch is the soft top. It may flutter at highway speeds or stretch over time as it ages.
3. Other Topics [57:57]
- A viewer shared news about deliveries of the 718 Spyder RS. Deliveries appear to be getting underway in Japan, too.
- Owning both an EV and a fun car can make for an ideal Porsche owner experience: enjoy the comfort of an EV for everyday driving and take a thrilling sports car out on weekends.
- The joy of driving a manual is something an EV can’t replicate. Manual models focused on driving enjoyment, such as the Carrera T and 987 Spyder, are well worth considering.
- When buying a 992-generation Carrera T, many people weigh whether to opt for rear-axle steering. It significantly enhances handling, so if your budget allows, we recommend choosing a car equipped with it.
