Very good review from someone who drives both Porsche sportscar and Tesla kiss

I try to understand why someone would  invest this very high amount on a Taycan, provided that EV ownership is far from compulsory even in very developed countries? Most people view EVs as a (more) economical way of traveling. If this is the case there are other much less expensive good alternatives to the Taycan, some of which consume less electricity to cover the required distances. OTOH, if a person is so much after dynamic qualities and emotion there are plenty of IC-engined cars (and several hybrids) that can do that better than any EV.

Probably, Porsche is looking very much ahead when EVs will be the norm in some markets, if this time ever comes and they are trying to establish themselves in this sector.

But for now the Taycan, albeit a very accomplished vehicle from reading the reviews,  is an answer to a question no one asked. Porsche are trying to foster demand for this type of vehicle and good luck to them. It is a very risky investment (€6.6 billion overall?) and if it fails Porsche will be in trouble.
