Even ICE cars are far from perfect. And, if you're in need of the noise and gear changes, there's tons of cheap options for a weekend car.It means he’s not fully sold on the idea of owning/using an EV.
I’m feeling a bit the same way. It’s the future for now, but it’s yet far from perfect (Tesla has a big lead of course). Then there’s the emotion... If I could afford it I’d buy a Panamera over a Taycan (EVs are tax free in Norway). The engine noise and gear change alone is worth it
This fear or whatever it is in this group is very manchild-like. The car will be great. A major manufacturer like Porsche isn't gearing up this much hype and mystery for the car to be a flop.
Think about it. This is the first venture into a full EV. This is also going head to head with Tesla, regardless of the fact that they're not making it a comparison. On top of that, it's going to be the first luxury/sports EV going into mass production. Why would they let it be bland, especially when the concept is the exact opposite.
I suspect the car will be very much like a 4 door 911, rather than an electric Panamera, like people are losing their panties over.
Full disclosure. I'm no brand loyalist. I own a Macan GTS, E92 M3, MK1 Volkswagen Cabriolet and a Jeep TJ.
Keep your shit together, gentlemen.
