The Taycan won't change 911 sales in the least. It may however bring new people to Porsche who might end up getting a 911 after they experience the Taycan.

Haven't even looked into what a Taycan is. If it's anything like a Tesla I'm not interested. Gas is king imo.

I don't think the Mission E will have any effect on the market for the 911. Maybe on the Panamera, as to me, it looks like a Panny with different front and rear ends.

Lack of engine noise, lack of me buying it...
​​​​​ Doubt it will change prices any, just will attract a different buyer.

I have less than zero interest in a Taycan. I won't buy an electric vehicle until they've matured a lot more.

I think the Taycan will impact the 911, but it is dependent on which way things go after it rolls out and how they continue to spec them. Not everyone has the means to have multiple Porsche autos in the garage or cares for the things we do over efficiency, performance and reliability. I am very interested in both the sedan and sport wagon they are developing. Given the move to "things green" and how younger generations feel about gas cars, the environment, etc. I believe Porsche is hedging their bets and attempting to stay relevant. A good thing for the most successful car manufacturer in the world to do if they want to stay there.

I'm on the list for a Taycan, and will see how it all shakes out.

I think it will get electric people into the brand, and some will fall in love with our 911s

Followed them testing in Marin today...even with fake cladding you can see the car is going to be attractive, and far better looking to me than the Model S's the were testing against.

Their quickness coming out of tight mountain roads was impressive even with 3 adults in the car!

Even though I am not an electric fan I know many that are and this will be good for the brand I believe. An all electric vehicle with Porsche engineering and handling will attract a clientele that may have always liked Porsche but couldn't come to terms with the gas eating engines. I think it's good for the brand and this type of tech always finds its way into other vehicles.
Even though I may not want a 100% electric I may be open to a hybrid gas/electric with immediate power and a growling exhaust. New innovations are never bad for a brand if used properly. The electric segment of the market is growing and if you are a affluent customer Tesla is your only choice. I am not a big Elon fan.

I agree - apples and oranges. And while I might consider a hybrid 911 I would not consider a full electric one.

If it handles like a Porsche, has Porsche build quality and the range is decent, it is going to sell. You know it is going to go like stink. Panny sales will suffer most, as I would imagine the 4 door sedan Porsche market must have limited demand. If it charges quickly with the 800V system that would be a huge bonus. Lets face it, the ICE is under assault, they will slowly disappear. If anything it will help bring more buyers to the 911.

I was surprised to see the Pana sales numbers since I expected many more so limited demand seems correct: http://carsalesbase.com/us-car-sales...sche-panamera/
