I don't have the receipts, but I think they were somewhat closer in Jan/Feb.

in 5.4 it looks like the just collapsed that capability into the single frontier family model

I mean, come on folks, you need to up your game.

Further, particle emission from brake dust is mitigated in EV's that use regen braking. One of my ev's can go days without phycical brake usage, and another uses the brake pads so infrequently it has an automatic mode to touch the discs occasionally just to keep them from building up rust.

tire particles --- different compounds can effect that, but will always be a side effect of tires on vehicles.

This looks more like a straight agent knowledge base to be used with or instead of .md files you might have in the repo that have information about the codebase. To use a bad analogy confluence vs jira.

If you just need a simple thing, query what you are releasing (from jira or whatever tracking system you are using) and package them up into categories of features/bug fixes and keep the release notes general.

if it's important to have an accurate curated set of release notes, create a field in your bug db for external release notes---leave those for tehncical product managers, support etc to edit as they want. THen you can have internal and external ones.

you always need to review for language and sensitive data, so human review (but again LLMs are helpful now fo this stuff too)

Also when you say 'never heard of beads' --- it spits ou onboarding text to tell the agent exactly what it needs to know.

Requires a deep dive, but this is an interesting direction for agent tooling

The profit collapse is more a matter of accounting write downs for their R&D

Make no mistake, they still have issues because sales are collapsing in China (and much of that pressure is from EV upstarts), and there's been a pushback in US on EVs in part due to political shifts.

So we'll continue to se EV, ICE and hybrid development from Porsche, just at a different mix. But it's not going to be easy for them regardless. They have a precarious place in the upmarket mix where a lot of competition is coming for the intro luxury segment, and the volume in the exotic segment is too low to really sustain operations at Porsche's scale.

Still in a better spot than, say, an Astin Martin which would have been better off financially last couple of years just giving customers cash instead of letting them buy cars and lose money on every one

At least in the 4-5 years ago, there was not much of a used market, not much vehicle choice beyond Tesla that was good price/performance, and tough going on charging infrastructure (again outside of Tesla)

That landscape has not completely changed, but it is much different. There's a lot of actual vehicle choice (even if most are still some type of SUV/CUV), and charging situation is reasonable, especially with opening up of NACS

There's a big component of political action against EVs, solar, etc but I think it will just slow, not stop the momentum in the US. With 2 BEVs and a PHEV, I don't see our family going back to ICE vehicles. I miss manual transmissions, that's about it
