Price cuts?

[slothinker]

They will never do this in the United States. That's why they did their "American Charging Standard" nonsense. They want the tax dollars without opening their network up to other EVs and that doesn't happen by declaring your private network a "standard".

EA has to support dozens of different cars from various automakers. Tesla has to support a whopping 4 models that they make themselves. Supercharger "reliability" becomes a very different thing with all of the variables of supporting the greater market.

Even if they were open, I wouldn't use them, because they charge 3-5x of what the other networks charge and Elon will never see a dime from me. He may have a little more money than I do, but all of my kids talk to me -- that's something that Musk can't buy.

Didn't realize that EA specifically tailors the electric charge and charging pattern it delivers via pumps to vehicles based on the particular model attached.

Porsche most likely will increase prices in March, as usual.

I think they might pause doing that in the US given another cost of money hike is coming. Or it will come in the form of a paper tiger that can be "discounted" away for a buyer. I can tell you that my local dealer has 6 Taycans for sale and has had them for months. An increase is not even close to in line with the market or demand for the brand.

A raise in pricing (again) while the world melts down feels a little like the fiddler fiddling while Rome burns.

I mean, this is true but not sure how its relevant. EA doesn't do anything more than provide an L3 charging station with a standardized plug that works across all EV brands with the exception of Tesla.

I ordered a 4S CT using the salary sacrifice scheme back in July 2022 and the estimated date of delivery is around September 2023. Given that there is likely to be further delays and price rises and With the price cut in Tesla, I am wondering if I should just cancel my order and just buy a Tesla Model Y on a personal basis instead as the Tesla website seem to suggest 3-4weeks delivery. The net leasing cost after tax for 4 years on a CT will almost pay for a Model Y after the price cut.

If you can't justify the premium-brand sportiness of a Taycan and do want utility, I'd hope that there are higher-quality alternatives to a Model Y (e.g. from Hyundai and Kia).

True. kia EV6 or BMW i4...

For sure both over Tesla. The Model Y is their most sexless car yet.

My heart still tells me to be patient and wait for my first Porsche...

the suspension is on the ‘very firm’ side on the dual motor so I’d expect the performance to be worse.
I’ve seen so many recently. Reminds me of the Qashqai club…….

It’s more Fiat Multipla territory for me. Damn it’s an ugly MF.

Price cuts? You must be new to Porsche.

 

[tbinmd]

Cars.com shows 283 new Taycans for sale at dealers. Porsche does not have too much inventory at hand, no way they don't raise prices. But I would expect a 2-4% price increase.

Tesla on the other hand is cutting prices because they are missing their sales numbers. More competition and innovation in other cars coming to market. Its going to be very tough for them in the coming years as more vehicles come to market.

What I don’t understand about Elon was his insane strategy to buy twitter.
He probably paid twice as much as it’s worth and in turn we have seen Tesla shares tank in the process - anyone could have predicted this outcome.
Not just that a lot of Tesla buyers seem to be liberal voters (could be wrong) but since Elon has taken over Twitter he has been trying to antagonise that demographic non stop for the last year or so.
I feel a lot of them are going to jump ship because they don’t want to be associated with such a toxic figure at the helm.
