A Porsche is supposed to be a two-seater, expensive race car that is impractical for everyday driving. That's the whole point.


Porsche is an SUV company now, not a sport car company. They would have been out of business in the early 2000s if it wasn't for the Cayenne and Macan.

Was in Palm Desert yesterday (El Peseo). Saw a 718... a GT3... and more than a dozen Cays and Macs. Wife commented, "they're like X*&^&&*&^s. Everybody has one. I Like my Boxster".

Boxster saved the company first time around. Macs and Cays...

Bad EV's won't cut it you mean.

Until there's a 7500lb EV truck that I can drive 650 miles, without stopping, with 3,000 lbs in the bed, and recharge in 5 minutes in any town in America... then there is no "good EV"

One of the big impacts for Porsche is that their sales in China are down considerably.

Makes sense. China has 200-300 different car manufacturers all making EV's and all subsidized by the state.

Yes, you read that number correctly.
