thanks for the reply - 911 Targa is worthy P-car - enjoy

I'm comtemplating my next EV with 2020 Taycan Turbo out of warranty in July 2024…

I'd love any thoughts you have on the F150 EV once you have it.
I had the use of an F150 Lightning for a few hours last Fall. Love it. Ridiculously quick for a truck. It’s a special thing.

The questions for me are whether they’ve improved the fun factor (and I don’t mean a new fake sound), and how heavy it is.

Taycan can somewhat be forgiven on these aspects as it has a more practical use (family hauling, long distance driving, etc) but when buying a Boxster top of the list are fun and handling.

I’m hoping for a 3 speed transmission and paddles along with modest range to save weight.

It needs to have at least 400hp and 400ftlbs of torque, 200+ mile range, and be under 3,800 lbs. There’s no way it will be close to the weight of the current Boxster if it’s going to have a minimum acceptable range.

For me to be interested it would need to push 500hp450ftlbs at that weight.

Will need to reconfigure the EVSE setup in that garage bay as I was planning on it having Taycan-esque L & R charging ports. But, I think I actually like the location shown better anyway
A bonnet for a boot and a passenger door that doesn't shut properly. Looking good! Do like the ass charge port. The Taycan DC port in the UK is retarded.

Really is special, just like this e-718 will likely be. The world of EVs is getting a lot more interesting : )

170 kW to the Boxster seems excellent, btw, for what will likely be a relatively small and light battery.

No new orders for 718s will be taken for the ICE versions for delivery in 2024.

Will restart along side 718 EV orders and delivery in 2025.

Must be major retooling to accommodate.
