The reason that some of us Porsche nerds track efficiency is because once Porsche cracks the code here, it paves the way for a small, high energy density battery in a sports car ….which will be a game changer. We will then have our pick of the EV or ICE litter. This is car enthusiast nirvana.
Price is an open question for all Porsches. They seem to be unhinged from reality.
I don’t plan to go from a Taycan to an EV Macan but if I was planning to do so, an EV Macan that is well over $100K would make that decision even easier.
Personally, I would let the experiment on the Macan play out a little before jumping on board. Back to back experiments between Taycan and Macan are a bit much for me.
I like the full light bar of the 992. I have a 911 on my list of fun things to experience and was wondering where the sweet spot would be. It could be that 991/992 is it.
My sense is that they are reaching the limit of what they can do here. This lighting change is different but not necessarily better. Hopefully this isn’t what the future holds relative to design iteration.
My next e-Porsche will be a step forward, not back. Will be holding for the Panamera or possibly Cayenne. Those will be a step beyond the Macan from a model standpoint. I am rooting for the Macan though as the learning from this will be key for the future.
My car hasn’t been delivered yet but it does have the Bose set up. Despite that, I would be interested in an upgrade that was specifically designed for EVs. Something that draws relatively low energy, is fairly lightweight and delivers premium sound would be awesome. It’s been 20+ years...
This will only serve to increase the costs of developing technology and new vehicles….which is currently shared across VAG. Makes little sense to me from an investment standpoint and potentially less sense as a customer too. I know that they make a lot of money per vehicle but they also...
