Good one.
Electric Bogan, so-called “Viking” exposed. His misleading sweeping statements, in most videos, his misinformation, and hyperbole. 😆

It's Kris Rifa's video, not Viking's :)
My reason for posting this was because it was about Porsche and how this Viking spreads misinformation.

Both are seeking clicks and echo chambers like this serves their purpose very well. Kris ranting that the Macan is not as premium as the Taycan is really getting long in the tooth … and Viking only looking for negative info on EU cars is just so he hopes he finally will earn some money with the Chinese car stocks he hold … It’s a shame as they both bring sometimes bring worth while news, but the trash talk is getting more and more in the way. So for me Batterylife1 and TeslaBjorn are getting more views from me …

They are, I was just in China and checked out some of the cars they have. I would 100% have gone with the $60k Huawei SUV over the Macan EV (which I do love btw) if it were available here. The features are unmatched and it is even more luxurious.

I literally fell over laughing as soon as I saw "Porsche's Survival Probability".

Let's be serious here. There are real questions as to how much Porsche continues to invest in EVs. There are exactly zero questions as to Porsches continued existence.

As I said, please don't shoot the messenger as I know its an emotional brand.

All logical, fact based, well sourced and researched comments appreciated.
If you do the same search for Stellantis (or countless other brands), you’ll find similar POV. The car industry is struggling. 🤷🏻‍♂️

if anything , porsche's issues have almost nothing to do with EV's... These content creators and some of these news outlets just want to get clicks off anything they can...

I would argue that the survival probability and acquisition probability of the majority of Chinese EV brands are significantly lower and higher, respectively, than those of Porsche.

There are quite a few Chinese EV brands that have already tanked, others aren’t paying their employees, and all of them are heavily subsidized.

Porsche’s profits may be declining but they aren’t hemorrhaging money. As long as customers value their products, the business is sustainable.
