CGX car nut:

I have stated it several times before that the Taycan is Porsche’s new 911, in concept and in spirit.  Current battery technology especially using a skateboard configuration isn’t ideal for a sports car, it more suits crossovers and sedans.  Porsche took advantage of this and the current market trends away from two cars to made a sedan its new EV sports car.  This is one vehicle that will prove tempting to many. 

Indeed, very tempting. That’s until people start driving and using them (once they pass the original sticker shock), realizing the usable range is small and the charging network is inexistant, they will share their experience, and the wait list will vanish, killing the speculators in the process and 2 years later when Porsche releases the Taycan update (they will have to to try competitive in a fast moving EV space), resale values will tank dramatically. And that’s assuming Porsche made very little mistakes on the first generation of a brand new type of car (but Porsche is perfect, right? Smiley).

I would advise anyone thinking about a Taycan to do a short term lease (24 to 36 months) and not to pay cash or finance the car.
