doesn’t this remind you a little bit of a rerun of the first Tesla.
remember the first Tesla it was made on a modified Lotus chassis basically a electric Elise .
time will tell, but we know how that worked?

Bet on flop.

A 718 flop drives 911 demand even higher.

I was talking with SA today and he told me they had a lot of cars held up at port. He said they got 17 911’s coming in next week on trucks.

My sales guy wants to get the ev when it comes out. Didn't ask about demand.

If they still sell the gts4.0 here but with updated interior that'd be cool. Got the 911 for the more modern interior and the fact that I couldn't get a cgts allocation.

Easy, instead of ADM, you’ll have to lease a 718EV for a year to get a 911 allocation.

A.) No waiting lists, yet. But if the 718’s use the new Masan platform, software engineering and drivetrain . . . . it’ll be a tough competitor.
B.) My purely subjective opinion is that they won’t be a flop. I own and have owned several EV’s, Plugin EV’s and one Hybrid (not plugin) EV. I’m totally sold on the concept and the execution I’ve had personal experience with. A Cayman EV will definitely get my attention as will a 992.2 with its likely mild hybrid system.

Most dealers will put you on a list for anything, particularly if there is a deposit involved. My dealer has a list for 718 EV but it’s conspicuously absent from any names.

I would say the opposite, I had a Taycan and it only lasted 5 months in my garage, horrible vehicle - mainly due to flaws inherent to EV’s. They can’t give away the Taycan and Macan EV interest isn’t great (locally there is 1 customer order for one, multiple dealer inventory cars coming, no one on a wait list).

I am totally opposed to the concept and the packaging constraints will make the range laughable. I can’t get to the mountains to drive in less than an hour and spend 2 hrs driving hard and then home, no way a small EV does that job I’m guessing under 200 miles real world range driving like grandma with a tailwind.

Bringing it back around, 911 sales will taper for tooling change to 992.2 and then explode particularly if they do away with ICE 718 and move the 718 EV to the Taycan line (leaving 911 to its own production line). Then they can churn out 911’s much faster and maximize profitability (I believe 911 is the largest margin vehicle in the assortment). Then they can leave the high depreciation, low interest level, no waitlist cars for a separate line and not sully the real cars. 😎

ok this makes more sense. the site i linked has the numbers crossed then. 797 should be for 718 and 1930 for 911.

i will email them and see if they can fix the mistake. i figured there was no way THAT many caymans were being sold.
