Default Mission E

I have mixed thoughts about this but have to admit that it looks pretty cool with decent numbers.

Dude, seriously. You aren't gonna get any love for the Mission E over here in 991-land. What are you thinking? :-)

For the record, I'd love a German car manufacturer to catch up with Tesla. But that's not a discussion to be had here - there's enough going on (between the "grown ups" here), and their naturally aspirated vs twin turbo's.

No German car company will ever catch up with Tesla. They simply are incapable of losing so much money making so few cars so poorly.

Wrong forum. Porsche is charging for power at their dealers which doesn't make sense. Also they ditched the coach doors. Not a fan anymore.

LOL. Everything Tesla knows about that, it learned from Porsche in the 1990s.

I’m very excited about this car.

It it would never replace my 911. Nor is it intended to. But a car that combines the best attributes of an electric car with the engineering, manufacturing and design of a Porsche? Yes please!

Too bad bad it comes with Porsche pricing too...

I love the enthusiasm.

I wish they hadn’t tried to all-road the Mission E Cross Turismo with the wheel arch add on’s... (because I like the not-an-SUV idea for an EV, but would rather a car be a car). Between the Mission-E and the Turismo, I think I’d vote for the space/practicallity of the Turismo. If they could loose the body trim. As for a sports car? Maybe. If I had the acceleration of the ludicrous mode, who would need another car. And, I have my ICE 911 relic for old time’s sake.

Will always keep a 6MT N/A 6cyl Porsche sports car for weekend drives...but excited to try a Mission E as a daily driver at some point. Electric torque can definitely be addictive!!!

What if you are still between Mission E and in 991-land? Where do you run along to?
