If what you said was reflecting the reality, there would be many many more 2 seater cars on the road. Kids are in school all day, of course you will not see them in the back seat during that time or after being dropped off/picked up.

And that’s just for people with kids, there are also many couples who have to be able to fit adults in the back, just look at Wonderbar answer...

Not saying the Taycan will only fill a small niche though, since because of its price it will go to households as a 3rd or 4th car anyway.

Porsche should have started with the Macan EV but it seems like there is a very clear picture as of why their technology was not ready to do so: range. The Taycan, being a small 2+2 sedan designed from the ground up as EV, should be much more efficient than a Macan EV would be. The Macan would have to outperform by a good margin the ETron that already has a lackluster range. Just imagine a reviewer driving a Macan turbo EV like a Porsche should be and realizing after 30 miles it is indicated you only have another 60 miles to go, in a friendly weather...

By launching the Taycan now, Porsche can use some of its R&D, perfect the technology and look “green” while waiting for the tech to catch up so they can prepare the rest of the fleet and the charging network. That’s pretty smart. But again, I just wonder how many people REALLY know what the Taycan is going to be and how much it will cost. Clearly even here, many including me did/do not know.

The Taycan is faithful to the Mission E concept.  That is not a large automobile and Porsche never officially stated that the Taycan was comparable to Panamera in size or accommodations.  Even when Porsche was pushed on the question that the Taycan is a Tesla Model S competitor, it deflected such comparisons.  Porsche and its parent, Volkswagen AG, has a well-developed EV product roadmap.  Initial introductions focus on providing product in various niches to build experience and production volume.  As these areas are addressed, Porsche will move toward higher volume, more practical vehicles.  Scale is even more important for inchoate EV production than it is for conventionally powered automobiles.  One major issue remains the availability of raw materials needed to produce batteries and electric machines at very high production volumes.  There's significantly more work needed as even current resource reserves aren't fully understood as industries didn't require, for example, cobalt at the levels needed to replace current ICE production.
