No need to get your get your nuts twisted and take a swing at anybody that does not share your sentiments.
My daily is a mild hybrid. Would that make me half as good as you? LOL.
Its all good Dude and enjoy your EV just don't take the bridge in 10 years when they are not the only new vehicles sold.

In the 15 years I've been on Rennlist I've never seen as much nonsense as we're seeing now around this whole EV question, it's crazy how personal it's got at times.

not even sure why you’re coming at me when I’m pro city dweller/daily commuter EV, pro petrol and pro cars worthy of a p badge. They all have their place.
Luxury EVs are in a tough spot. And performance luxury cars even tougher. It’s easy to make a MB/Audi daily boring EV such but you better make it engaging to slap a P on it. The base models are always going to be dull but I think the base cayenne is undriveable. the “turbo” cayenne EV that comes out will likely be around 175k or more, with a 50% dep almost the second you take it off the lot.
in excited for it. Count me out on buying a new one but maybe used 1st gen. But as I’ve said before and I believe even p confirmed. Petrok cayenne has at least 10 years of life left. Thank goodness.

There was a thread here recently about a fellow who took a 50% hit on a Mercedes EQS in a matter of like 6 months, absolutely crazy depreciation. Hard pass on any or all of that nonsense.

Calm down mate, I'm not 'taking a swing' at anyone. Maybe my Australian way of making a point slipped by to the keeper.

50% depreciation in one year is retarded. If true then that vehicle will not be viable as no one in their right mind would buy new even though we are being gaslight into believing that a wholesale, rapid rotation from ICE to EV is underway. EVs are fine if they meet your needs but are clearly no where near ready for widespread adoption anytime soon.

There are a lot of reasons to avoid EV's and just as many people willing to defend them. A little like our Political climate today. Mutual respect seems to be in short supply!

Mercedes made a big mistake...either with research or lack of it on SUV EV's. They also seem to have diverted too much resource to EV's at the expense of ICE SUV's. I just traded a problematic 2024 GLE 63S (after 6 months) for my incoming GTS. The Dealer quoted me a high trade value thinking I would wait 6 months to trade...took the offer. They have at least a 6 month supply of EQ's and a couple used that were returned after a few weeks for an ICE. My SA said he recommends leasing an EV.

It confused the hell out of my as to why GM stopped building the Bolt. Yeah, I heard about needing the factory for new cars but it was cheap and once the battery issue was sorted, reliable. One of my friends had 3 and only swapped to a Hyundai because GM couldn't supply a new one. Mind you, his Ionic 6 gets 360 miles on charge, and charges 10-80% in 20 minutes which is pretty cool.

I’ll be ordering one at some point. I currently drive Tesla S Plaid as my daily and we have 24 Raptor for road trips. I got a 25 CS on order and will be trading in my S Plaid (two young kids) for it. Around town and your day to day, an EV is superior especially a Tesla, so many benefits compared to ICE.
However, we’re all here in this forum because we enjoy performance vehicles, sports cars and can appreciate the smiles a Porsche brings. I love cars and I’m all for experiencing different things. Give EV a shot, you may enjoy the creature comforts it offers, or better yet have both.
