Hello everyone,,
To start, I am not a Porsche fanboy, nor a Tesla one. When they announced the Taycan based on the Model E, I contacted my dealer, and am third in line to buy. Porsche was suggesting they would offer the car at $85-90k starting, and would get in excess of 300 miles per charge. An 80% charge would occur in 15-20 minutes. I was ready to go - sold assets, have cash waiting.
The announcement yesterday showed a very pretty car (not really the E), at double+ the price, with lower mileage mobdro.bio/ luckypatcher.tips/ kodi.bio/, and a quick charge system that will take years to build.
This was Porsche's opportunity to lure people who didn't care about their brand, electric cars, etc. to buy their car. Instead, in their German hubris, they have assumed that because they put their name and logo on it people will shell out the money. There's no don't that they will have a few thousand buying this car, but not 30,000.
The fact they are putting so much money into this new platform, and coming out with a car that's more expensive and less on a specs basis than the Tesla is a major screw up. Honestly, I think this will cause them some significant pain in the next 3-5 years, and I'm not sure if they'll recover.
They had an amazing opportunity, and they blew it by selling a marketing campaign and not a car. Bottom line, I won't be buying, and am pretty bummed out.
