Nice of you to add this in after publishing and being roasted for your poor article. “Musk may have also been referring to turbochargers, which are added to internal-combustion engines to improve their efficiency by recycling exhaust gases.”

Seriously? it's an electric car. It can't have a turbo. How do you write an article about a tweet and not know what anything means. This was disrespectful to everybody.

You guessed twice, and failed both times. He's referring to the fact that Porsche named their high-end, EV the 'Taycan Turbo S.' The naming convention carries over from their ICE line. The EV does not have a Turbo - elonmusk

'Musk did not elaborate further, though he may have been referring to the Taycan Turbo's 0-60 mph acceleration time or top speed.' Imagine writing AN ENTIRE ARTICLE about a 'Twitter slam.' Now imagine doing that and NOT EVEN KNOWING WHAT THE SLAM IS.

And y’all just couldn’t RT with comment?
