Mission E / Taycan - Deposits
#136
![Default](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I just received a notification from my dealer to go to a Porsche Corporate website to register for the Taycan deposit. It appears as if they are doing a Tesla like approach and having people register with their deposit. Once registered I received a notification that my selected dealer will contact me about next steps. It didn't require submitting a deposit yet.
Has anyone else seen this? Any idea what's going on? Any idea on the deposit amount?
Here is a link to the site.

Vehicles shown are the Mission E and Mission E Cross Turismo concept cars, and are similar but not identical to the Porsche Taycan model on which you are considering placing a deposit.
Also, in case you didn’t see it, Nico Rosberg got to drive one and we see it briefly on video here:

Looks good thanks for posting that video. The trunk opening is more normal sedan than hatchback. I would have liked the glass to open with the trunk lid ala Panamera and Model S. The charging plug also looks interesting maybe that was a 800v charger? Car also looks just as big as a panamera so interior space should be great with that size and being an EV.

my take away is "look at all the EV chargers in the background at Porsche Headquarters" - hmmmmm me thinks Porsche is taking this EV stuff seriously…

I also received an email from my dealer with a link to the site to register first for the deposit. I did complete my registration, but waiting on next steps for the actual deposit information.

manitou202, thanks for the link. Just signed up to formalize my desire. I told Autobahn Porsche (in Fort Worth, TX) of my desire to order a Mission e several months ago. I'm supposed to be "very high" on their list, so I figured I might as well formalize my desire via the PCNA microsite. Should be interesting. Thanks again for posting that info.

Not sure where I was the last month but don't like the name so emblem delete will be one of my options. If it's 80% as the concept photos I'll stick to my 7 month old deposit and complete my order on the S maybe turbo version depending on options and battery life. Thanks again!

If you read the agreement regarding the deposit solicitation, it is nothing like Tesla or any guarantee or anything other than getting your into: “Give us your info and we will pass it onto the dealer — and also mail/email/call you — but the dealer sets deposit amounts, allocations, sale price, and who gets the cars and when.”
On the plus side, if your dealer submits an order demand when the books open, porsche might mail you some swag (or not, they do it for some cars but not others).
