Parent VW have got ID3, 4, GTX all out now, sister Audi has the e-tron Q4 - all of which I believe are flawed in a variety of ways.
Come on chaps; extract the digit. You original launch was slated for 2021..........................
I think you've hit the nail on the head here. The performamnce of EVs is so good (quick) that this is not gonna be much of a selling point for Porsches or any other perfomance car. They are going to have to find something other than just the badge and 0-60 to make it worthwhile spending all that money on a Macan EV. I saw a Tesla model 3 put it's foot down joining a motorway the other day and I seriously don't think many ICE cars could have got close to it. The insurance companies are gonna have a field day with EVs too!!!wab172uk wrote: ↑Mon Sep 11, 2023 8:44 amInteresting article by Richard Meaden in this months EVO.bennachie wrote: ↑Fri Sep 03, 2021 11:31 am Come on Porsche.

Manufacturers are struggling with the whole EV concept. It usually takes years to develop a new car, but throughout development ICE remain pretty similar.
Now they are developing cars that even before development is completed the Battery tech is out of date. They are constantly chasing their tales, and being Porsche, they want their car to be better than a 500bhp MG EV for less than half the price.
I had a drive in a Taycan Turbo S on Saturday and I think the main problem with EVs at that end of the market (for me) is that I would be unlikely to keep my licence for very long. I found it impossible (in my short time with the car) to follow what was happening with respect to the velocity under acceleration as it climbs so mind-bendingly rapidly. A quick blip of the throttle to overtake on the motorway and you're nearly hitting three digits in what feels like a second.Skyway wrote: ↑Mon Sep 11, 2023 11:30 amI think you've hit the nail on the head here.
