I see the E-718 attracting the Tesla crowd. The Porsche people will stick with their ICE cars for a good long while. Might even convert some 718 drivers towards a 911 in the future. Once they officially announce a release date and show exactly what it will look like it will start to get some attention and people will start putting deposits down.

It could have 10 million horsepower and do 0-60 in a nanosecond, I have zero interest in fast golf carts. I understand making electric trucks, sedans, etc. but for the life of me cannot understand the appeal of an electric "sports" car with no gearbox or sound.
My 4.0 is a lifetime keeper.

That is because for many, many years, shifting gears and sound have been hardwired into people's brains as what two aspects of sports cars are all about. I can't say that that part of the sensory experience of driving doesn't appeal to me also, but just calling it out on what it is.

I wonder if the virtue signaling mount will be standard equipment, or an optional extra...

As a PCA member since 1984 who was living in humid subtropical south Florida at the time, I welcomed the water-cooled cars with their far superior air conditioning. I do not have any desire for an electric "sports" car without a gearbox. To each their own.
