Doing things for shareholders will always ruin a company.. it’s simple - money is the result, not the reason! We need to get back to capitalism and doing great things.

I agree on the no SUVs - I’m a wagon fan! Interested in the weight size balance and thought the macan would be a step lighter.

So the Macan EV has a smaller footprint but 300lbs heavier. That surprised me. The battery is a bit bigger and it doesn’t have the transmission. Is it just the battery? Taller vehicle? Heavier/cheaper materials? Interesting. I’m also curious if it can hold the same cargo - those specs are...

This is more media noise. It’s not perfect and people just try to throw the whole thing out the window. It’s amazing in what it does and it will only get better. (Click bait)

I don’t think the SW is as bad as people think either. And I like having some buttons. The biggest thing is building the screens into the dash vs just gluing on a tablet like all the other cars. Haptic Touch is really nice!

I think modern cars are just heavy - no matter what the power delivery is - ICE, Hybrid, EV

The taycan weighs as much as the cayenne - same footprint, just lower - people are surprised that its not more sometimes. The packaging is a good point - lots of opportunity there and building the cells into the structure of the car like Telsa is starting to do.

We have actually been very impressed with how durable porsche interiors are - no issues raising 2 boys in a 911, cayanne and taycan. Plus they turn out better this way :)

this is interesting and goes back to the physics - every movement the car makes comes from the engine - suspension load up etc.. so could be one way of driving efficiency. or just take better care of our roads?

would those tires\wheels work on the taycan?.. that is the real question.

I’m the past they would just cut lots of big circles. They could just use that strategy?

The weight is interesting.. ICE isnt light.. all cars are getting heavy.. Taycan weight = Cayenne weight. So its not 2x the weight. Battery tech is one, but how they are packaged etc is a way to save weight as well - Tesla is building the batteries into the structure of the car. Overall -...

I like driving performance sports cars - thats what Porsche is - all their cars

Performance wise everything in an suv is a disadvantage.

The Cayenne is the ultimate Tow vehicle - engineered to tow jumbo jets :) and you get all the porsche over engineering racecar benefits ;) They will get there in EV, just a matter of time! All the SUVs are dumb.. no one needs to sit higher - only because there is on SUV out there.. meh.. i...

SUVs are dumb.. wagons are cool.

its more of a joke.. if the car starts yelling at you in german than its serious! My wife will just ignore all the warnings the car makes and asks me if its important.. like in the winter when the sensors are not working and fogged up it starts yelling at you.. so my answer is - ignore them...

Our approach has been - nothing is perfect - its a car and you need to adjust a bit as well.. Tesla and Taycan are different approaches. We have a macan loaner as our taycan gets updated (2 week process? wtf) and we are living moving back to grumbles (the macans nickname). We are on cutting...

I wish I could set Auto Regen to the default. I love how it keeps a safe distance to the car ahead and any changes in distances. When clear it coasts.

Why is no one calling out the suspension. I drive Porsches for their handling which is decades in the making and straight from the track. Going fast straight is boring - corners is where it’s at and where all Porsches excel (even the cayenne). I drive slower Porsches fast in the corners ;)...
