I have this guy at the golf course that has a model S and he's always bragging that he can take my 911. BUT its always in the shop. Its a 50% chance he's in his second
car when he's at the course. So for that kind of money I want to drive it every day, I want to go to the track (not the drag strip a real road track), I want my car to last.
So I will stick with Porsche. His build quality just isn't what I am looking for either.
I will trust Porsche to build a MUCH better car than Tesla. So when the mission E shows up and he doesnt look like a Pany Ehybrid, I will go look at it, but as a replacment for
a summer subaru, my wife drives (we probably need the suby in the winter) But Im not putting a deposit on anything with Porsche or getting on an allocation list, not after going through those GT3 games twice now, 997 and 991.2

If you are a PCA member there is an article on the February Porsche Panorama Magazine stating Porsche has decided the Mission E will be a mass produced car just like the Panamera is, so there will be nothing special or limited production about it. Basically if you want to have it first you get in line for a dealer's allocation, otherwise it will be available initially on AWD with a 2WD version available the following year. Also might be that your dealer was communicated they will not get any initial inventory for 2019. I also have a deposit down with a local dealer but have not heard anything from them.

I put $1000 down. The timing was is a little different for me. My ZL1 warranty will be up around the time that the Mission E is being delivered.
Tough choice - but not bad either way.

Mission E design
Gents,
One of my childhood friends owns the Authorized Porsche Dealer for my Country of Origin. I had an exchange with him earlier today and his allocation is 10 Mission Es for the launch delivery. All with deposits down already. Per him, car will be exactly as concept photos we have all seen. Base model all the way to Turbo S and everything in between. I have my deposit down with Champion Porsche in South Florida. Looking to order the 'S' version as cannot justify a Turbo on electric. Its a 4 seater and more or less sized as the Panamera. Hopefully it meets expectations. Let's see.

Not to throw cold water but.....I've found that's pretty much the stock answer.
If anyone has the opportunity......the more interesting answer is the one to the question...." so, we all see the fleet of camo'd test mules online and the shots in the 2017 annual report. Is that pretty much the car? We saw that Mauer said the design of the E was now 'fixed'......so assume that's close to being it?"

As noted: "More or Less". We can pick up the debate when the cars are out 18 months from now. If it is not as advertised I for one am out.

I guess there aren't many Panamera or Macan owners contributing to this thread, but I'll happily say that I am definitely in on getting the Cross Turismo Mission E if it gets to production in a couple years.

I'm with you on that one. Gives me plenty of time to like the style. First look was odd but the second time I really liked it.
