Re: OFFICIAL: 992 Carrera Cabriolet
I guess you could interpret good value as in perf for the buck, but that is not the case in the context of the discussion in this thread, given the tech the 918 had at the time it wasn't exactly a money maker for Porsche at 880k pricetag, whixhwis what Nick meant by good value and was also less expensive that its competitors while offering equal or better performance, and for a buyer like Nick it turned out not bad value financially given how it held its value and the perks of the VIP program he took advantage of during this time.
Taycan however I don't think will be a good value, at least the first generation, the pricetag won't be good value since the initial demand is high and Porsches pricing lately is of the roof, but also running costs may not be as low as one would think (cost of supercharging, etc), and don't know about the long term costs of ownership regarding the durability of the batteries, and other costs which are yet unknown, may be overall less or overall more. The resale price is also unknown yet and will also be a factor negative or positive in the good value equation. It's such a completely new product that there are many unknowns.
