Wow!

For sure there is a flaw with your car. They damn sure better "goodwill" this as you could have lemon lawed the car.

This one looks production ready. Those side air intakes are maybe for rear wheel air curtains.

Stuff a sock in there and call it a day!

It will exist. Audi has already said so a few months prior. I bet there is a release within 10 months. I also think the vehicle will knock everyone's socks off so long as Porsche uses the proper architecture and battery tech this sucker can come at no weight gain versus the retired 718. A...

Judging from the wheels & tires that sucker is RWD which makes me happy. A front motor would have a negative effect on the fun to drive quotient.

718 EV Boxster man!

Retooling needs more than a week.

I wouldn't judge this vehicle based on the bodywork. That's just disguise while systems testing.The huge air intakes up front won't be required for an EV.

Seven years of battery energy density improvements + super light pancake motors and the car weighs 10% more than a Taycan. Doesn't feel like progress to me.

Also 718 Boxster/Cayman killed because they wouldn't comply with EU cyber standards. Seems like that's something that could be done in 6 months at some companies like Tesla or pick your Chinese maker.

Your cost structure is also lower when you don't have to pay designers to create a design, rather you copy the competitor's design. It helps when much of your software cost is jailbroken. I could do this all day. When benchmarking services do their deed on Chinese vehicles typical finding is...

Instead of paying $5-13k to avoid brake dust why not earmark $50/week for a nice hand wash plus the remainder of car is clean. Break even at 100 - 260 weeks.

If an OTA is not so much a fix but is an improvement are the makers getting dinged as that is a "recall" or "problem"? For example my former Rivian had an OTA that improved throttle control while reversing and another that improved ride over bumps. Are those dings?

The cells are CATL which is probably the gold standard. CATL has 40%+ gloabl market share and I can't recall a major issue with their cells. LG had issues with Chevy & Porsche. Sunwoda with Volvo/Zeekr. SK with VW.
