might as well wait then until June when it becomes the i4 M60, with its shared output with the i5 M60 and I believe different battery.

I've been following this platform as well as my RS etron GT lease is up in Sept 2026 and was hoping this would be my next ride, so it looks like I might just get another e tron GT until these Caymen EV's fizzle in demand.

Your response is too cryptic to be useful.

This article is quite detailed, and paints a very clear picture. Over-investment in over-hyped venture, an ex-Tesla exec who tried to ape the same pretend strategy, and a reckoning. It remains puzzling that these large groups bet new models on something that unproven without a contingency plan.
