The All-new Porsche Taycan Is Seeing REAL, Early Success? 30K Down Payments...
Well, even against all odds, it seems that the Porsche Taycan is taking off. That's because the latest reports are indicating some serious movement in order banks.

And it doesn't sound like we're talking about dealer-ordered cars. We're talking about customer cars.

The latest from Germany suggests that over 30,000 customers have placed down payments of 2,500 each. But, you see, it gets better. 10,000 of those deposits have entered a firm order to purchase a Taycan. Mind you this is only the European market. This does not account for the U.S.

Considering the Taycan's extremely high price point of its Turbo and Turbo S models, Porsche said it only planned on shipping 20,000 units in 2020. This is great news.

We'll be keeping our eyes peeled, Spies!



Porsche has taken down payments from 30,000 customers in Europe for its Taycan, the luxury car maker’s first fully electric model, CEO Oliver Blume told Germany’s Handelsblatt newspaper.

These customers have made down payments of 2,500 euros each and 10,000 of them have already placed a firm order to buy a Taycan, Blume said, adding that this number exceeded the company’s expectations...

Porsche knew the EPA protocol.

There is no way they should have blown the estimation.

Conversely, why didn't Porsche hit the magic 300 miles with the base car? #NoExcuse

And the highest speced version will have less range, leading to a $200k EV with LESS than 200 miles of range... ouch. Perhaps there are some software tweaks they can make, but perhaps that 800V system was not a great idea after all. Funny enough, due to the terrible efficiency the new Model 3/S/X all charge faster than the Taycan even at 250 kW vs. 350 kW (which no station in the US even has yet).

It's the ultimate 2nd or 3rd city car for a potential owner. Much ado about nothing. Choice is awesome and this is one fine vehicle for 200-225mile range. More than enough for most owners.
