Well not so much, as everything they close is bought by Chinese brands same day pretty much. To reduce the amount of cars that sit on lots deprecating, in a market that is moving fast? To follow their strategy of doubling down on 911 sales, due to not competitive products in EV category? Why...

It's just assumption / deductions on my part, you are correct. 911 in 2019 was selling at a profit margin of 47%, which contributed 29% of Porsche’s revenue. 2019: Total Revenue: €28.518 Billion Profit Margin: 16.2% (€4.623 Billion operating profit) 2024: Total Revenue: projected full-year...

So based on your driving, for a weekend car you'd choose a 911 over a ferrari? Okey, enjoy it :) You may not be alone, but you are also a minority, in thinking that people don't cross shop and reserch, be that reviews or driving at dealerships. Anyway, this discussion is mostly about EV, and...

And how come with most sold in 2024, they got the least money from them also in 2024? One has to wonder. Math ain't mathing. Oh, wait... maybe it is, they sold a bunch at a loss?

No, but they do EVs better than the rest of the world. The market says so, not me. But go on, put ridiculous words in people's mouths when you have no argument, to feel better about yourself.

Different market, different strategies. US market is saturated with SUVs, even EV SUVs. And Porsche doesn't offer the best product in that category. So they are trying to drive sales via scarcity, limiting supply to give the impression of premium and how unique you will be if you buy their SUV...

Everyone buying a car now goes and checks at least a review. Probably even people in their 60s. And Porsche does not review well: - 911 is great, but boring, german precision, it does everything but it's just not wild. That's not what you want to hear about a sports car. - EV buyers are...

This doesn't sound like 3% only. Sounds like a problem.

There is no 718 Cayman EV price point yet. If Macan EV is any indication, it's gonna be 30-40k more than the last cayman.

Most requested feature in the 911, as per head engineer & designer of 911, is the 2 extra seats/bench in the back. I think you can actually find it in the 911 S/T or the new 911 GTS video from CarWoW. I believe your stance, as per porsche, is the minority ;); and in fact most people want those...

They don’t automate much in china, from what I’ve seen when visiting. what they will do is bring workforce from china and buy living space for them. they did that when hired to build highways in east Europe, South Africa, and other countries. Seems to be how they operate. of course, some...

He means VW executives / VW as a company

Goes in contradiction directly to what the ceo said. I mentioned it in another thread. the plan is to have 1 kind of each power source platform in each vehicle category. SUV: macan as ev, caynne as ice + hybrid New bigger suv category coming: probably in all 3 drive trains, following bmw...

I never understood the argument about copying. Why should the end-customer care who copies who? For all I care, copy whoever you want, as long as I get the best product. This is the same tribalistic childish argument that IOS/Android users keep having: :"IOS copied from android, no android...

No, I am talking about the reports of brakes stoping to work in the middle of the autobahn, in the middle of intersections, and the like. I am talking about that. Several have even been on this forum. What are the excuses for them? Sorry, but based on NHTSA, and plenty of user reports, it's...

Will clarify, these 3rd parties are Porsche approved mechanic shops; approved to work on EVs. We have some of those in europe also, so not all EVs get serviced by Porsche, depending on who your insurance provides. It's a question of when, not if/why.

What's Porsche excuse for brakes failure leading to accidents? New indie company? I also heard from a kid, that putting bigger brakes is slightly easier than doing good tech ;) But hey, it's good that we are comparing Porsche with a company that has been making cars for, checks notes, 8 months...

Very good point. Companies seem to think they are entitled to get that "ratio" for free. Well, shocking news, they aren't. You either have good products, that allows for that to happen, or you get to lose profit by being forced to sell less ICE models; That's the whole goal of the legislation...

Hasn't been the case for me; but it has been the case for others on the forum. I have also read from one of the people here, that following their battery getting cells replaced, when the battery failed again, they decided to just give him a refurbished battery (battery from a different taycan...
