Sure, profit was down, around €40 million in Q3, but that is still profit in a transition year with model changeovers and delayed launches. You do not call that collapse, you call that adjustment.
A 6 percent drop in deliveries is still among the best in the segment. Others are down double...
Let’s keep it real. Porsche’s sales are down only about 6% this year, hardly a collapse. Profits are squeezed, thanks to delayed launches, software headaches, Trump-era tariffs, and China, which remains a very tough market.
Meanwhile, Renault is practically on the brink, so let’s not pretend...
I’ll bite.
That’s not how it works. Porsche doesn’t need to announce that their cars feel more or less luxurious, that’s subjective. What is official are their financial results, product strategy updates, and market data.
Those show exactly this: Porsche’s EVs are selling slower, yes, but they...
Who said that? Certainly not Porsche. What they actually said is that their earlier goal of delivering 80% fully electric cars by 2030 no longer matches their updated market outlook. That’s a slowdown, not an exit.
They still have three full EV models in their lineup: the Taycan, Macan EV, and...
Very bad report.
EV shifts, tariffs, and the changing Chinese market are clearly shaking things up. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see more disappointing quarterly reports from other car groups too, maybe even a few that won’t survive this wave. I heard Nissan (not so niche as Porsche) isn’t...
There stories of teslas with a million on the odo. Cool to see this Taycan is on its way. I hope mine (33k on the odo) will ever reach this. Hope I still own it them, and not bankrupt yet for all out of warranty repairs
Only DC charging imagine the costs, here in EU 0,80€ per kwh is not...
Good point, thanks for clarifying that AAS is the official Porsche distributor in Thailand. I was under the impression this was handled mainly by independent shops. Like CT14 garage.
That said, the local climate and conditions in Thailand are still very different from Europe or North America...
Interesting case, and it is good that experiences like this are being shared. I certainly do not doubt the knowledge or skill of @ct14garage who worked on it. Again nice find.
It is worth keeping in mind though that this happened in Thailand, where there are no official Porsche dealers. That...
Apart from being expensive four-door sedans that happen to be EVs, they share little else. They are very different cars designed for different needs.
There is nothing unusual about Porsche’s pricing. The brand has traditionally appealed to professionals such as doctors, lawyers, and business...
Wasn’t this the case for is already? Tesla m3p is already a cheap alternative in straight line. I never considered it as an alternative. Not sure nowadays I am doing that with all the other options. Maybe only Audi a6 EV or BMW 5 series EV. But those are around 100k and 150k if you take the...
@D00notD00d tldr; there is software from a workshop in thailand. The owner did a lot of work on damaged batteries. He created a piece of sw (free to use) to diagnose your own battery pack. I did not see a single bad battery posted in the whole thread. Few had some weird readings but were packs...
Thread of 5 pages.
OP took a gamble for not taking extended warranty. In Europe it is common to have ‘just’ 24 months of coverage. The gamble went wrong, because two month after the warranty period ended something happened. Having three Porsches does not change a thing and OP is not entitled to...
