Please don't shoot the messenger. And I am still looking forward to my car arrival in October. But I want to keep the forum up to date with Taycan news. The author has some info from Rimac wanting to remove the C1 two-speed transmission when it produced the C2 to save weight and complexity. Frankly I think it's a different beast as it has separate motors with high torque, but there is probably some validity and if Porsche can produce higher RPM motors then maybe future Taycans will not have the gearbox, only time will tell. Nice video of the Rimac motors/inverters. Realize that the price of the Rimac C2 is well over $1M so a different category from a Taycan.

Note: IMHO InsideEVs is generally quite Tesla focused so an article that puts a shadow on the Taycan is not unexpected.
