Seriously? Betrayed because a company is making progress? What would the non-betrayal version be? Stop all development, keep selling current model until the revenue doesn’t keep the lights on in Zuffenhausen?
Do you see this as a typical mid cycle refresh?
Yeah, well, those people have issues.
There is no such thing as “typical refresh”. The brief starts with known problems, areas that were underdeveloped for the initial launch and advancements in materials/knowledge/performance analysis. Then one adds market trends, and/or changes dictated by company strategy. On stable technologies/products (like ICE cars), these requirements result in minor change; obviously not the case with new/nascent technologies.
Well said and I agree
So your first line question is very broad. Posche? PCNA? My dealer? Yes I have been treated well. Follow up questionnaires. Dealership follow ups. Loaner car without even asking. And my car was delivered quickly, no stop sale, with no ADM at a time when ADMs were standard.
I honestly see it as great progress and applaud Porsche on their effort. No, I will not be ordering one today as my Taycan is barely a year old, so a swap would be not be worth the money to me (worth is always relative "to whom"), but I am genuinely happy that by the time I am ready to swap cars, the new Taycan could be a valid contender (perhaps an even greater leap in 4 years?). Given the speed of improvements from the competition Porsche needs to keep up or risk becoming a flashy trinket only purchased by people who buy them as a status symbol or garage/driveway décor. Then again, if you're buying it just for looks, IMO the original Taycan looks better. If you want a status symbol, you can probably redo the front and back aprons on your Taycan to make it look like the new one, maybe even put on the turbonite badge.
Porsche GB haven’t been great - 3 occasions off the road for several weeks due to recall and warranty with NO LOAN CAR and a goodwill gesture of £416 + vat - totally inadequate- any thoughts??
Do you feel the Gen 1 should have been the Gen 2 specs and hardware?
You should have been around when the 911 went from the 964 model to the 993. Whew! The 964 buyers were besides themselves when they found out the extensive change from the 964 to the 993 and they had just purchased a 964 at full retail. But........................I never understood it. While the 993 was a great car for its time, the 964 in my mind was not diminished - still a great car, great driver, etc. I think that I full pretty much the same about any changes (now or in the future) to the Taycan, or any car model for that matter. I have had my Taycan for 3 years and still smile when I look at it. And unlike the 964 to 993 cosmetic changes, I highly doubt that few people will see a 2025 Taycan and even know that it has a few small cosmetic changes from the 'original'. But then I am the guy who had a Nokia phone until I made my first Apple purchase...................Apple 6..................
