Be nice if it was true, but I doubt it is.

EV Macan, Boxter, and Cayman all getting launched very soon.

I think this is 18 months old and relates to a pause in production due to semi conductor shortages at the time.

Yes I think the video and the info in it are on two different time lines. There isn’t actually many hard facts in it. One of the clues is the AI commentary referring to the 911 as the “nine hundred and eleven” 😂

But the "news" is over a year old....

It's just the usual YouTube clickbait.

As from my 1/4 comment, I am suspicious but something has triggered this report now, not a decision on a battery factory or part supply issues which are temporary. I won't believe until the industry mags and web sites are saying the same. I posted so forum members can keep the eyes and ears open for other reports if they happen

Only 6k subscribers. Punts out a video daily. Completely full of stock footage from the internet. Dodgy commentary stuffing the video with pure fluff. Weird voiceover that sounds almost real but something not quite right.


I'm rating this one a 2/10 for me.

Has anyone watched the Mac Master on u tube regarding his Tacan, surely no one is considering purchasing a new EV with all the horror stories regarding depreciation ??
Apparently his Taycan reduced in price by £3000 in a week? Now I know this is we buy any car valuations but it shows the reluctance in the trade for such vehicles, has anyone ever heard of a £5000 dealer discount on a brand new Porsche before?
