U.S. Taycan Pricing Went Way Up Today [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS]

[gamueller]

Sorry to hear US prices are rising as your currency falls and your import tariffs bite; but isn’t this inevitable as you elected a government whose policy is America First and wants you to buy some General Motors climate-killing monster? You have our sympathy.

Lol. Talk about asking for it.

Porsche are big fun. They are superbly engineered. But their pricing, including dealership ADM crap, is beyond out of control for an increasing number of potential buyers. I have one friend who backed out of his GT3 RS purchase due to his long term, many-Porsches-purchased dealership after their initial pricing agreement decided to greatly jack up its ADM, and another friend who just said “enough is enough” and will be instead of a buying his previously intended 2026 Porsche Macan EV or Cayenne EV, will now be getting a BMW iX3 (much better range with many other nice positives) — AND saving many tens of thousands of U.S. dollars as a result.

History is replete with businesses whose pricing cockiness ended them bankrupt due to customers saying your ridiculous price increases have been too much.

Car pricing is fluid, always has been.

It adapts monthly to supply and demand with discounts/incentives and/or ADM.

Not sure why people get upset over MSRP changes. The S in that word is “suggested.”

It’s just a fictional number for which price negotiations START.

If the cars don’t sell at X price, they drop the price.

What car manufacturers ended up in bankruptcy due to “pricing cockiness” as you say?

Anyway... Porsche drew me back in with the GTS's Race-Tex goodness.

Unpopular opinion, but why the need for this thread? America has chosen the weird, demential Orange man; now you have to suffer the consequences.

2% sucks, but you guys are lucky. As @whitex showed in his calculations, Porsche still swallows a big part of the tariffs.

Only that to investors they announced the exact opposite, for their new strategy going forward.

More premium. More model scarcity. More options. More weissach. More " Exclusive Manufaktur ". More "special editions" (inseart "20 years and 3 months since x" and "20 years and 4 months since x" models meme, so so "special"). They want 60% of cars to be PTS. They want more bespoke trims, more one offs trims. More sonderwunch.

They continue to chase Ferrari - without making new cars, of course. They want people to pay Ferrari prices for Sonderwunch; and ideally a few hundred thousands of people to pay that

Whoever is in charge of Porsche's strategy has remained stuck in Covid timeline, where porsche were trending on all video platforms, where they were sold out everywhere, where people were paying over MSRP. But the world has moved on. A 911 GT3RS sells for under msrp today

This must be somewhere in Europe, in US If you don’t have some previous stupid amount of money spent with the dealer you can’t touch GT3/GT3RS anywhere close to MSRP. Even GTS models (911)

Yeah, with all of this AI crap people have money spewing out of their assh0les around here. Discounts? As if.

"some and not all will get passed on" Anyone that thinks the consumer is not paying 100% of all tariffs is high. I'm a manufacturer, and all tariffs get passed on to the consumer, unless the manufacturer is trying not to pass it on. It's a mess and currently all monies are being held in accounts because the courts may overturn them and they will get refunded.

Since yesterday with identical options, the configurator pricing went up $3,500 on our intended well-option GTS Sports Turismo.

The new CEO sure has made his pricing mark during his overall 2 days.

Thanks to your beloved president...

Because prices went down during previous administrations or would have with a different president?

Stock market up 16%, Porsche prices up 2%.

I’m not exactly suffering the consequences.

Before outsiders start playing the political blame game, let’s see if Porsche price increases in Europe fair much different.

So who do we blame in 2022? https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/2022-taycan-price-increase.5788/

And 2022 in the UK?
https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/price-increase-again.11800/

And 2023? https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/price-increase-vs-model-year.15340/

And the huge bump in 2024 for the new model?

This stuff happens every year. Had it been a HUGE bump for 2026, yeah, the tariffs and politics would be easy to blame.

But 2%? This thread is full of way too much hyperbole over 2% “huge!” “Suffer the consequences……”

Oh wait, why does that hyperbole sound so familiar?

Stock market up ≠ policy success. Tariffs work on a delay, and Porsche swallowing costs now is risk management, not magic. Consequences don’t need to be immediate to be real.

To me it’s comical the amount of flak Trump gets outside of the US, especially so in Europe, from what I’ve seen.

And yes there are many things I disagree with, but so much gets blown out of proportion.

I’ll bite…

From outside the US, this isn’t about liking or disliking Trump. It’s about how American policy choices translate into tariffs, costs, and uncertainty elsewhere. Patriotism softens the view; exposure sharpens it.

And yes, most of us are critical, just watch and listen to two sentences of his speeches, and it’s clear why unpredictability becomes a real-world problem. Between his media appearances at golf resorts and high-profile business connections (Mr Musk on drugs LOL), it’s easy to see why many view his style as chaotic rather than reassuring.

Got it.

Bad things happen, blame management.

Good things happen, it’s a coincidence?

FWIW, Note post #22 where I said that Porsche is blaming the tariffs for the increases.

But you can’t have it both ways. Only giving blame for bad policy decisions but no credit for good ones.
