Even ignoring competition, what will they do about emissions regulations? This is the most shortsighted strategy they could possibly come up with. So deflating. This might be my first and last Porsche. Instead of navigating the future, they are simply clinging onto the past and will be left...

Ah, that's a bummer. I suppose I just need to wait to see the final car before making judgement. I do hope it has a nice curvy design (I suppose it won't have the rear spoiler that was shown in the picture either). I do wonder though, IF the GTS still sits at 3.5 0-60 or slower, if Porsche is...

I have the MapEV tune so the delta is a bit more than that. :) I'm not a big fan of Lambo designs, actually. I love the way my Taycan looks for instance, and the promo picture shown in the (now taken down) pages looks way sexier than the bulky, fake-panel car pictures we've been seeing. I...

Oh, it's going to be a rather slow car. Interesting.

Cutting 100,000 jobs is absolutely insane. It's incredible how much the foundation of the car industry is being shaken and broken by China. It's huge news when Meta and Microsoft lay off ~5,000 and this is 20x that.

This is fascinating to me. As someone who grew up driving automatic transmission, none of this resonates with me at all. I've never listened to my car to tell me speed. I've never used the physical pullback from being high in a gear nor the loud sounds of being high in a gear as any sort of...

I also wasn't sure if #2 worked (if the sound was loud enough), but I did experiment with it last Halloween. I turned it on in my neighborhood when I came near a large party of trick-or-treaters, and every single one of them turned to look at me. I'm guessing the sound was indeed loud enough and...

Maybe explicitly to reach the audience of car buyers who hate EVs. Porsche is not developing this for EV enthusiasts. they want to convince petrol heads that EVs can be cool. So they should target the influencers who think it's cool to hate on EVs - as long as they're able to convince them...

I actually did receive a mailer survey request from them after I bought my taycan. I looked into it because id happily answer a few questions for the sake of public knowledge, but then I found out it's a 30-40 minute survey. For WHAT? There's a zero chance in hell you're getting me to sit down...

Your story is exactly why I was never a "car guy" for the first three decades of my life until electric cars and particularly the Taycan were released. There are some obnoxious racers that drive around my back roads every single day at 9pm and 12pm nearly religiously. The engine noises can be...

Do you not listen to music while driving? Even at low volume, I never notice the car sounds.

Not my thing, but hopefully this convinces some Vroomers to convert.

Yeah, I feel the same. I usually skew towards more pronounced visual designs, and it feels like others (Mercedes, Polestar, Audi, etc.) are taking chances on much wilder and unique body designs. For better or worse, they're much more eye catching than this. But I understand I'm not looking at a...

To be clear, are you purchasing a Taycan that's already in stock or are you ordering and waiting a few months for it to arrive? Wondering if you'll be there with it for any summer Seattle meetups that might happen!

It's always fun to see the updates, but I am (jealously?) glad there's nothing here I regret waiting for. In fact, I personally greatly dislike the changes they made to the electric sports sound. I hardly use mine, but when I do, I like that it sounds like a smooth spaceship. This gurgling...
