just because there is no OPD does NOT mean there is "modest" regen - there is plenty of regen - but only when you touch the brake pedal - there is "weak" OPD - but the Regen on all Porsche EV's is substantial and effective…it's just "invoked" differently than OPD…
let's not confuse the two...
price aside and range aside….
nothing else on the road drives as well as the Porsche EVs - but you pay for it in $$$ and EV range
if driving quality is your goal Porsche 100%
if price and range are your goals you will find Porsche a difficult fit
unless you are prepared to over pay by significant margin - BMW iX 3 is probably what your looking for
i love my Macan Turbo but its not a leading Ev in price performance - range is not embarrassing but hardly class leading - and a fully optioned trim will cost $$$
but get us a build code and...

still cheaper than gas per-mile vs. 28 mpg costs for a gallon of gasoline…\
trip overall was 3.3 miles/kWh
$0.61 / kwh @ 3.3 miles/kWh = $0.18 / mile
Costco gas today is $6.24 @ 28 mpg is $0.22 mile… and 28 mpg is not the typical efficiency of a Macan ICE ;-) so that's a generous comparison...
regen off - we arrived in morro-bay/slo at like 35% battery after starting at 88% percent - no range issue for that highway 1 segment given winding roads, vista points, and slower speed limits and other drivers ;-)
charging options are limited between Montery and Morro Bay - although there are...
Undeniably one of the great drives in the world is Hwy 1 on the west coast of North America. This legendary Hwy stretches from San Diego, CA all the way up to Northern most section of Washington state. One can do this drive in 2-3 days or 2-3 years given how much there is to see and do along...
