Some new info, mostly old, but how do you interpret the following

Car learned the base Taycan will come with a steel suspension, a conventional steering system, and a single-motor, 402-horsepower rear-wheel drive powertrain. Additional versions will join the lineup later in the production run.

Yes, I also found out from a reliable source that the Turbo S version 0-60 will be under 2.8 secs but will cost much more...probably more than double.

Default Horsepower upgrade possible

Blume also explained that Porsche's electric car would be capable of updating its software over wi-fi and might offer Tesla-style downloadable power upgrades. “It will be possible to work with over-the-air options,” he said. “It isn’t decided yet, but it could be possible to charge up with more power. For example when you have 400bhp, it could be possible to upgrade to 450bhp.”

Well.....I was looking for the source but somewhere in the last month the info was that first out would be Turbo and maybe 4S.....which would be uncharacteristic for Porsche.
Anyway.....in a few weeks we'll all have the 'actual' info telling us what models will be avail. on first orders as well as their respective U.S. prices.
In the mean time, everyone is still an 'expert' on their own inside information.........watch here about the $150,000. Turbo and other EV comparo's....and he's actually saying Turbo "starting" at $150K.
