what the birdie told me today - June 2026 first opportunity for customer Cayenne's North America

[daveo4EV]

was picking up my 2021 Cayenne TurboS eHybrid from service today - complete hybrid battery replaced under warranty - car is good now

talking with General sales manager (I've purchased too many Porsche's from this dealership in the past)

Noted my interest in future Cayenne EV (2028 Cayenne EV GTS)

asked about current Cayenne EV deliveries - he said 'demo units' will arrive soon - but customer will only be able to see and touch them "June" - no driving them - only look and touch - no drive…

asked him how solid that date was - he shrugged his shoulders and said - it's not going to be sooner - he would unsurprised if that date didn't change to later…

but he is not expecting to see/touch/feel a Cayenne EV until June or later…no customer deliveries before then

my $0.02 YMMV - but it's what I was told today - we'll see.

I spoke to my dealership and they said my delivery date for my Cayenne EV Turbo has changed from August to July. I think you are right, demo units in June and first customer deliveries in july is what they are telling me. I am first in line at my dealer thankfully.

Any more birdie or other confirmation that was posted here a while ago, that next month the Cayenne EV coupe will be publicly revealed?

Was just thinking about it. Googled yesterday but no new information came up. Still waiting for build date for my order so might switch to coupe.

I would suggest/speculate/guess any "unannounced" Porsche EV plans are delay'd or being reconsidered with a new CEO and EV hostile business environment and executive team…

I honestly believe that if Porsche had it's preferences at this point they would've never gone forward with the Cayenne EV…

speaking with various porsche "birdies" the level of EV hostility inside Porsche right now is "off the charts" - they are simply fuming with steam coming out of their ears that their business model can't be reconciled with what's going on in the automotive sector right now…

it's a witches brew of hostility on a number of fronts towards Porsche, EV's, global market conditions, politics and some long standing self inflicted wounds all conspiring to make the path forward complex and unclear…

the confluence of factors coming to head right now is truly mind boggling and Porsche internally is frustrated that they are being "passed" by and out maneuvered - anger is not an unheard of emotion as they wrestle with what to do going forward.

I have no facts/information that Coupe won't be announced, I'll simply be surprised if they double down on "more" EV at this particular juncture - it's also unclear they "need" a coupe in the line-up for any business/sales goals…

my $0.02 YMMV
