Default BEV Macan/Cayman major delay!

Bummer. Looks like it will be a while before I can get my hands on an EV Cayman.

But hopefully it also means there won't be a repeat of the Taycan software issues as they are trying to get things right BEFORE they start selling other EV Porsches.

My game plan is to go from the Taycan to the Macan EV so I guess I'll keep the Taycan for a little longer.

It still boggles my mind that the Taycan platform is a one and done. Not going to be revised for next gen and will not spin off any stand alone models. I guess Porsche must have found a creative way to write off all those development costs somehow?

you mean the J1 architecture? Because they definitely going to be selling more Taycans
as for J1. Well, it’s from 2015-2017 and the tech is all changing quickly. By all accounts they’ll squeeze at least 10 years out of it.

Any links to that announcement? I didn’t know about it.
