I absolutely don't! Obviously, Porsche has lost money the last couple of quarters, but the fact remains, Porsche is historically an extremely profitable car company. My point is, and I think you agree, Porsche has priced themselves into a corner where customers may think twice about sustaining...
Whatever. If you doubt those numbers, and I don't given Porsche’s well-documented profitability over the years, you're welcome to take this info with a grain of salt. That said, I believe the data is very credible as ChatGBT gathers its info from public records like P&L statements and formal...
I was curious about Porsche and its history of constantly raising its prices year over year, so I asked ChatGBT for some metrics regarding Porsche’s profit margins. Here they are for you to digest:
Model
Price Range
Est. Margin
Est. Profit per Car
911
$140K - $250K+
40 - 50%
$60K...
Maybe, finally, Porsche has hit the limits of what their customers are willing to pay for a car. When I bought my 2021 Taycan 4S the sticker was $138K. Now, the 2025/6 car with the same option set cost $160 which is honestly absurd.
Great config with the Spyder RS wheels. My only comment and suggestion would be to eliminate the Night Vision option. I bought it for my 4S and in my opinion it’s basically worthless, especially considering the $2600 cost. It almost never comes on for me and I live in a semi-rural area with...
Outside of the occasional recall I’ve not had a single issue with my Taycan and I‘ve said it before and I’ll say it again: recalls are great! It tells me Porsche is taking care of my car. It’s getting little upgrades to protect my investment. It’s tweaking issues that will prolong the...
I would urge you to grind the dealer more aggressively to get a better deal. Remind him that the Taycan and EVs in general suffer a 50% hit in depreciation (as evidenced by your i4). Better still, buy a lightly used 2024 for significantly less than the 2025. The performance of the 2024 is...
Does the OTA software update correct the issue as identified in the recall notice we all got? It took 3 days, but after multiple attempts, I finally got my 4S to successfully download and install the update. I have nevertheless scheduled a visit to Porsche Marin for next week in any case to...
Both cars are fundamentally identical. It’s really down to how the different cars are equipped and optioned. Buy whichever one is the best deal and whichever one suits your fancy.
