A friend of mine is a computer / tech development engineer for them and has taken me in cars a few times, while they’re undergoing calibration. It’s quite a thing and for a daily car, hard to imagine beating!
In a luxury vehicle, who wants to hear an engine anyway?
Porsche has a habit of managing to make a vehicle, perform to a level, far beyond the sum of its parts.
In fact, I’d say that that has been their usp of late.
(They make some massive mistakes too from time to time)
...So I think the Teycan might well be an example of this occurrence.
Given the naming strategy though, I really feel embarrassed for them too
Just think how far the established brands could have come, had they not been so stubbornly sandbagging.
EV means the death of a huge part of their profits, so I do understand why they hated the idea. Who wants to shoot themselves in the foot?
They even went so far, as to make all the early EV offerings look like poo!
Tesla ONLY wanted to make EV vehicles, so where never so shackled. They also had all that PayPal money and an owner with a single minded meniacle focus to forge a new way.
I applaud their existence and can only hope that their star is not shining too brightly
If I was offered one though regardless of price, I might chose the Teycan.
Plenty of folk are so comfortable lay off, that these value for money / price difference don’t matter. They might well have a Tesla as well!
