[Upload] Did Linus make a mistake buying the Porsche Taycan? (www.youtube.com)

Synopsis: Alex claims the all electric Porsche Taycan Linus bought, although having all the cool features, lacks the "fun" of a gas car. A gas car like the 2023 Toyota GR Corolla Core. Linus drives the GR Corolla, then Alex takes it to the track.

What do you think of the video?

Thought this was a really weird video for the main channel. Do they not have some kind of car channel at this point?

Anyway, appreciate they want to try new things, but this wasn't for me personally.

Yeah, I was seeing that a lot in the comments. You're totally right to think that, but in my opinion I think the video was more broadly comparing gas vs electric cars and their use cases. Not specifically on one car. I agree with having a separate channel, even Linus has said in a WAN show that a car channel is inevitable. But at their size doing something as big as releasing a new channel will take time. Like gamelinked took like a year to make. Regardless, I will try to post these upload posts only for big videos that most people will like. If someone wants to watch a video that's more specific, they probably will find it on their own.

Yeah, I respect that. Actually really liked the formatting of this post, with the little summary, and opening the discussion. Much better than having some bot just dump the link here for every video!

That's actually part of why I chose to drop the first comment, hopefully these can be hopping with some good engagement going forward. I think like many people, I often have thoughts or want to discuss these, but YT comments are just a nightmare if you want to do anything more than skim them.
