    Re: Porsche Mission E...the future of Porsche?

    He, he, he... putting the Taycan and the Model 3 in the same segment was funny, it is like putting a Lincoln Navigator and a Lamborghini Urus in the same segment 

    Tesla has nothing in the same segment as the Taycan... actually, nobody does yet.

    So what's the release date? 

    September 4th

    "Awaiting all the golfers teeing up for the fifth edition of the Porsche European Open is a spectacular highlight on hole No. 17. The first player to hit an ace will receive the new Porsche Taycan – the first purely electrically powered car manufactured by the title sponsor which will be officially launched only one day before the start of the tournament."

    The Golf tournament start on September 5th.

    A loaded Tesla Model 3 Performance and a naked base Taycan might not be that far apart in price if the rumors are true... They are close in size, seat 5 people... They are both luxury cars the same way a BMW or Mercedes or Audi are luxury. The Porsche will have a nicer interior, the 3 will be faster and more practical.


    Re: Porsche Mission E...the future of Porsche?

    They are all competing in the M3/C63 AMG/RS4 segment the same way the Cayenne is against X5/GLE/Q7 where the Y will eventually be and the ETron is. Porsche is always sitting on top with a better interior and most of the time handling, but at a large premium and with lower volumes.

    And before someone starts denigrating again, let me remind you the Model 3 is the #1 seller in the USA in the luxury sedan segment so clearly they have stuck the right cord somewhere, with the corollary that they do not have a crossover/SUV yet in that segment and that there will obviously be some lost sales for that.


    Re: Porsche Mission E...the future of Porsche?

    And Teslas don't have the luxury class interior to match the luxury class pricing..........

    The Model S compete with say Acura luxury wise, but cost many times over.

    The Model 3 compete with Camry yet cost many times over. 

    The incoming Model Y will be a RAV4 competitor but will cost may times over.

    Model 3, Model X, Model S, Model Y are miles behind in interior against the e-tron.

    All Tesla interiors are econobox grade. 

    Yes the pricing puts them at the luxury segment, but they are definitely not luxury cars. 

    This also makes you wonder why with Tesla charging so much yet giving a basic el cheapo interior yet still manage to lose so much money.

    Rest assured - no buyer of a Taycan will consider a Tesla as a comparable car. Tesla might be cheaper or more versatile. However, they are very different cars for very different classes of car buyers Smiley

    That’s what you would like to to be. But that’s not the case Smiley Just wishful thinking.

    You wonder why Tesla is charging so much for their interiors? Because people think they are nice Smiley Are they as nice as the top of the line of Porsche/Audi/Mercedes/BMW? No. Are they better than the base of all these? Easily. They slot in the middle. And not only that’s good enough to define them as luxury interiors, but because of their minimalist and different look, people think are are more than good enough for the price they pay. They are far beyond the average interiors like Ford GM and Toyotas and that’s why they are luxury class, it is not even debatable. Have you seen a base BMW series 3 or Audi Q5 interior these days? The Teslas even the Model 3 easily holds the comparaison. Alcantara roof lining rings a bell? The X has it standard but you have to get pretty far up in price to get it in the Germans. And Tesla does not use leather. So how are you going to compare to a full leather Porsche interior which by the way is going to cost you an arm and a leg?

    People here have means way above average and tend to forget what a normal car interior is. Tesla is a luxury mass market car manufacturer whether you like it or not and they own the luxury sedan market in the USA Smiley

    EV tech is expensive, do you think Audi makes money on the ETron? I doubt it. They priced it aggressively to hurt Tesla.  Tesla is a major headache for the Germans. They already cost BMW CEO its job and they have stolen ten of thousands of the most profitable sales in the usury segment in the USA. And that’s even before the Model Y comes out because so far the even more lucrative small luxury crossover segment has been shielded away from Tesla. But they are coming and it is going to hurt the wallet.

    I ride in average mass market cars almost everyday and there is simply no comparaison with the cheapest Model 3 interiors. Even before you even compare the interior designs and materials used, the screen interface and tech is two decades behind Smiley

    That's what I meant with "different class of buyers". Tesla buyers compare Tesla to lower class cars. If you compare them with premium products (like the Taycan) they will fall apart. They are cheaper and more versatile. But they are not comparable in terms of refinement Smiley

    Lot's of exaggerations there as usual. You seem to not have the ability to get your head around that we all prefer different and that a lot of people actually  prefer the minimalism in Teslas and all the smart tech. It's something new and refreshing that many actually really like. 

    I have lot's of experience with all sorts of german cars and have been driving around in an E-tron for a week or so in total. After all these comparisons I still prefer the Teslas complete package at the same price level.

    Have we seen what the interior of a base Taycan will be? You guys keep inferring that Porsche interiors are so much better but use only the most expensive declinations of it. Have you seen the interior of a base Macan or a base Cayenne? They are full of plastics and not as « luxury » as you mean it. They have no leather, no Alcantara and their tech is a decade old. Not only that but the Taycan is a brand new product from Porsche and probably they do not make money from it. Of course Porsche is going to try to bring a Tesla killer product, and they found a way to do so without killing their own sales by creating a sedans size they did not have before...

    There is no buyer of the Taycan yet. So how should it be possible that a Taycan buyer considers a Tesla. This will only be possible after the Taycan will be driven by its buyers. And I guarantee you that no Tycan buyer will then consider a Tesla any more - except if he wants to safe some money or needs more space Smiley


    Re: Porsche Mission E...the future of Porsche?

    And how would you know? Have you driven one? We do not even have the final specs, the prices or even know how they will look like and the materials they will employ at what trim levels. Will the $180k fully loaded Taycan will amaze everyone as a package? I have zero doubts it will. Will the base Taycan do the same? That will be more debatable.

    Money talks my friends. Fact is I have owned Porsches and VW cars for decades representing hundreds of thousands of dollars. Today there are none in my garage. And in the end, that’s the only thing VW cares about and they already lost that one big time, at least for now. YOU might not care about it. But I can assure you VW/BMW/Mercedes executives gets grey hairs over thousands of people like me and a few right here on Renteam.

    Tesla has been struggling to produce their vehicles and they are not out of the woods yet. But all they need is one homerun (Y? Semi? Pickup truck?) to establish themselves as a solid long term player. The real danger for the Germans is that Tesla is not after profits yet. They are after market share. And that puts tremendous pressure on the other luxury auto makers because it steals some of their most profitable sales away. Tesla has already sold like 500,000 cars. Where do you think these sales come from? Hint, they do not all come from people who have never bought a luxury car beforeSmiley


    Re: Porsche Mission E...the future of Porsche?

    My gut tells me... The Porsche will be a car in a totally different league Smiley Tesla has been selling their cars because there was no competition, one should never forget this. Times will change very soon.

    I kind of agree. The technology is in a very simple state. These cars will age very, very badly. And somebody has to pay the cost/depreciation.


    Re: Porsche Mission E...the future of Porsche?

    Competition is great and a cornerstone of capitalism. And EV totally a large part of the future of automobiles. I cannot wait to see where we will be in 5 years.

    As to Nick question, EV is ready for prime time, it is just not ready if you need a car to drive very long distances without wanting to stop and supercharge.

    Once again, yapping without any real arguments.

    There are plenty 7-8 years old Teslas on the road, and worse these where gen 1 cars with a few issues. They do not depreciate or age any different than luxury cars which for these gen 1 cars is simply amazing. The Tesla used market is apparently functioning normally and actually the trend is more that the solid used market is hurting Tesla because it is taking away from new sales. That’s how well 2-3 year old ones are seen by people who are looking to buy them.

    But because I am not biased and try to paint a balanced fair picture, I will write that there are some issues. MCU1 were prone to failure and some people have some issues replacing them. Some screens had yellow discoloration and there were no replacements for them until a couple of months ago. Some parts were hard to find a few months ago but that’s apparently solved now. Building a good service from scratch is not an easy task.

    But others have issues too. I have been waiting for 9 months for an electrical harness for my Ferrari 612 from the factory Smiley

    Completely different type of buyers with different needs and preferences.

    Taycan is sized as the Model 3 but will cost 2-3 times as much. Model S/X appeal to families and those who need a bigger car where the Taycan is too low and too small. I don't even see many people cross shopping those cars?

    Why do you think Tesla has so many happy and pleased owners? You can ask yourself why the few people in here who have Teslas and are former and existing owners of Porsches really like their Teslas. It's because the cars are great to live with when considering the complete package.

    Re: Porsche Mission E...the future of Porsche?

    For example yesterday we went for our usual 100+ miles total shopping trip that we do in the summer. I asked what car she wanted, she could have picked any. She asked for the X... I am still baffled that some people here simply blindly denigrate Teslas because it doesn’t fit into their brains that as a package, they are simply one one the best vehicle on the market today.
