Default Taycan (Mission E) interest?

So I did the deposit several weeks back for a Taycan (Mission E). Curious how many 991 GT3 owners find the prospect of an all electric Porsche 4-door appealing as a DD alongside their old school NA manual transmission sports car?

Me, I’ve bounced around from BMW to Porsche to Audi to BMW to Porsche again for my DD (5 series, 6 series, RS7, Panamera, Cayenne...). Never been interested in a Tesla; they just didn’t seem to nail the whole interior vibe for me. But the prospect of something like the Mission E concept sounds very intriguing.

What do do you think?

No interest, at least for the first 1-2 generations.

No interest. Actually I'm not a GT3 but rather GTS owner.

Negative interest until they are fully self driving. Then I plan to sleep on the way to work in my taycan executive in mamba green with Club leather interior.

Negative. Sedans don’t do it for me.

If Porsche had a 3 series sized sedan or coupe or turismo I’d have a deposit yesterday. Totally appealing. Just current car is too big.

I'm on the fence...however my local dealer has already taken 71 deposits and that seems to tell me that there is some healthy demand.

Was offered deposit opportunity last year. I passed. Glad I did as what’s been shown so far doesn’t look like concept. I’m going to skip the first year bugs. Will re-consider year two.
