Yes, just as 95% of apps in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store are worthless. There's also this piece from the Daily Mail in 2000 that didn't age well: Blockchain, as a technology, is designed to allow decentralized source-of-truth. Event ticketing that decouples the reliance on...

Yes, and this is table stakes for the success of EVs in the US. But just as Porsche did not build gas stations in 1963 for the original 911, maybe Porsche should not directly own / build fast DC charging stations? This seems like a solution best served by EA, ChargePoint, or in conjunction with...

But is that truly a quick way to expand an addressable market? This is a marketing funnel problem; Porsche is inherently an exclusive, up-market brand, and the intersection of that audience with people who want an EV is shown by current Taycan sales and trade-in values. The oft-delayed Macan EV...

Hey Dave, I appreciate the discussion, especially because I've been on multiple threads with you on this forum where you've laid out good engineering analysis. Re: energy consumption, you made me genuinely curious because I'm not inherently a web3 proponent. The argument sounded much like the...

Isn't every enthusiast on TaycanForum, Rennlist, etc. a "shill", in that case? Did you get a free hat at the 75th anniversary / Festival of Dreams event hosted by your local dealership? Authentic grassroots marketing is what keeps Porsche so popular among its enthusiasts. Ferrari, arguably, does...

Re: NFTs and worth, P911.DE stock is down 17% in the last 6 months, and no one is claiming that's a scam or that Porsche (as a company) is worthless. If you look at holding Porsche shares or a Porsche NFT as an "entrance ticket" to shareholder meetings or NFT holder events, there's still value...

None of the above. I'm a multiple Porsche car owner and part of the leadership in a PCA regional chapter. But not on Porsche AG or PCNA's payroll!

It is a marketing program and also a means for new customer acquisition. Building brand awareness and staying relevant to younger, non-traditional demographics is important for Porsche. Porsche Macan customers have a median household income of $440K. And that's the entry level to the Porsche...

Here's a Porsche GitHub repo if you want to see how they do things: https://github.com/porscheofficial Most of it seems to be Porsche Digital + porsche.com website stuff. But at least you get a feel for how their PRs work. That said, the PCM stuff is not developed in the open source world. So...

Any bets whether the Mission X is a reskinned Rimac Nevera? (Which I know the Pinninfarina Battista has already done.)

I went from a 997.2 to 2020 Taycan 4S. ~3 years & 30K miles later, I'm going to trade the Taycan for a 992 Carrera T that I ordered. I will miss the effortless EV torque, the lower running costs, and the practicality. I'll get back a more emotional driving experience and the ability to do...

I will attest to @cd77 's comments about this Porsche NFT project being about building a community for like-minded tech-forward Porsche enthusiasts! It has nothing to do with cryptocurrency scams. To use another metaphor, NFTs are closer to Pokemon cards or baseball cards -- a digital...

I was on the allowlist for the mint but chickened out when I thought I was buying a Porsche Configurator picture with no utility other than "cool things to come!" Moreover, 0.911 ETH (~$1500 USD) seemed financially imprudent at that time. Fast forward 4 weeks, and I kinda wish I'd minted 2 NFTs...

LOL! Definitely wish I could keep both, but unfortunately I have to consolidate my cars to fit into a 3 car garage -- my 16 year old daughter just started driving, and it's certainly not a Porsche. ;) My wife's Macan just arrived, and my Boxster 550 Spyder edition is for sale. So that leaves...

997.1 Club Coupe? That's a gorgeous blue! I've got an order for a 992 T arriving this summer. Hoping I don't regret trading in the Taycan for a 992 as a DD.

The other angle that hasn't been talked about as much recently is the deprecation bath that Taycan owners are taking. 911 and even 718 values are holding steady or increasing. Meanwhile, my dealer's trade-in offer for my Taycan 4S dropped $25K between July 2022 and now (despite only putting on...

Funny enough, I'll be trading my Taycan 4S for a 992 Carrera T (PPGD5GB0). It'll be slower accelerating for sure, but the handling difference by losing 1 ton will be huge. We're in the twilight of ICE sports cars. This will be my first newly ordered 911 and likely last flat-6 / non-hybrid...

The US Porsche dealership charging stations look like this: At least in Austin, it just takes a visit with the receptionist to request the key card (at no charge), then you can start charging your car up to the max 270kW rate!

Does your local Porsche dealer have a fast DC charger? I like going to mine for a quick charge and a free snack. (Although an intended 15 minute stop invariably turns into an hour after poking around the latest 911 trade-in and shooting the breeze with my SA!)

Buick EV is a good way to describe it. I drove a Lucid Air GT, and it is shockingly fast (even compared to my Taycan 4S). The rear seat legroom is huge, the massaging seats are better than a Brookstone chair, and the motorized opening / closing frunk is a cool party trick. BUT it's not for me...
