Change is inevitable I suppose… but tbh, I’m looking forward to seeing what they come up with!

And apparently will have a front end like the Taycan.
Will have to see one first, but not really exciting news.

If they make it look anything like the Mission R, I will buy one.

I agree- I would be interested in a 718 electric vehicle. I sold my Tesla S a year ago and I missed it within two weeks. Or a Macan EV?

Per Panamera, Dec ‘21: “… an electric Macan will likely show up as a 2023 model and will be sold alongside the existing Macan for awhile.”

Yes - I read that article

The EV issue for me is the charging issues / hassles and the pricing.

Without a doubt, Tesla has the best charging infrastructure. However driving at freeway speeds on a drive from Los Angeles to Las Vegas may require you to stop twice to charge. My Tesla guzzled electricity at freeway speeds. That turned the four hour and 25 minute drive into a 6 1/2 hour drive…. No bueno
