Yeah but we all put our $$$ down on the Mission E with all the accompanying tech promises. So when those things change some of us are also re-thinking our original decision.:rolleyes:

Well when you have more cars than drivers by a wide margin (2 drivers and 5 cars) you have already gone well beyond the boundaries of practicability. So yes, looks is VERY important to me. All my cars look good and most already go very fast and handle great. So what is the motivator to get a...

Agree, the C8 looks really good in the pictures but still haven't seen the actual car. But the mission (no pun intended) for a 2 seat GT is not the same as for a 4dr/4seat car. I doubt it is anywhere the same set of buyers.:rolleyes:

Nah, there are plenty of good ICE cars out there if the Taycan is not to your liking when it is finally revealed in Sept. No rush to go to an EV if the Taycan is not what I expect or want. Or just stick with my Pano TS for a couple more years.

Pretty close, I got US $200,737.43 at the Australian dollar trading at 1.43471. IMO that is too much for the Taycan Turbo S. You can get a ICE Panamera for that kind of money and not have to worry about new model gliches. Also way more than a Tessla S which already has somewhat of a charging...

I currently wn several Porsches including a Panamer Turbo S. This would be the car i would replace with the Taycan if I elect to pull the trigger on the deal. However when I was at the Porsche Experience Center in LA for the Taycan sales present, it seemed to me that many of the others at the...

I am sure it is no accident that all the mules are black as it seems very difficult to see the lines of the car. Also harder to see stuck on camo, so it seems way to early to make very definitive derogatory statements about the styling IMO.:rolleyes:

The stripes look pretty cool but not likely on a Taycan as a DD? But a full rap could be the ticket if one wanted a very custom color, especially if the masses were not likely to find the color appealing when resale time came around.

When the Mission E/Taycan introduction gets continually pushed back it does tend to throw cool water on everyone’s enthusiasm. Hard to keep hype going for multiple years IMO. But I guess better to have a good result rather that bring on a model which has a lot of quality issues. It would...

Not really, I have said in other posts I am still on the fence and waiting to see the Taycan in person before I decide either way.

You know of coarse that a custom color will be at the very, very end of the production scheduling for the year, especially a new model. When I visited the Porsche factory, the question of custom colors came up in conservation and guide informed our group this issue about custom colors. My wild...

Well I have other "fun" cars as well but why does a DD have to be boring? I have a Pano TS for a DD which is about as boring as I want to get.

I am still on the fence. Loved the Mission E as soon as I saw it and called my dealer to put me "on the list" to get on the list. I had my deposit down as soon as the dealer ask for a deposit. The first pics of the mules really turned me off. The newer pics are better but still not nearly what I...

This is pretty much akin to trolling and shows little taste, get a life.

Pad_J1 - Do you know what is the difference between the Turbo and the Turbo S models? More range/bigger battery, faster, different colors or higher amenities/interior appointments? My main interest is in the highest trim level and most battery range. Any idea when the Turbo S model will be...

My Pano Turbos S also has the front brake Caliper in front of the axle. Since both are heavy cars I would guess that has something to do with the caliper placement?:confused:

I pretty much agree with many of your points. I wonder if the designers and marketing folks just ran with the Mission E ball so as to speak and when the actual costs to manufacture the doors and some of the other “advanced” styling concepts became known, the bean counters stepped into play. I...

Here is my take. In the US the charging stations will be few at least for several years, and non compatible with the Tesla charging. So IMO the Taycan needs at least a 300 mile range to both compensate for lack of charging facilities and to compete with the Tesla. When I went to the Porsche...

I have a few Porsches so I am in the dealership fairly often, my salesman will usually chat me up and pass on any new info. That said I don’t believe he knew about this forum until I advised him. This forum tends to have more and more current information than the dealer. But much info here is...

Ron, I am equally hopeful that the Taycan will look very much like the Mission E but your observation about the 918 production car, I don't think is really valid. The 918 sold fully optioned around $1mil give or take and I am betting the high trim Taycan will be in the $150k range give or take...
