Looks cool - BTW i went to my local Porsche dealer last week where they had ONE 911 and about 10-15 Taycans on the showroom floor. I was also surprised how cheap they are to lease (about $1,100-1,300 on a car with msrp of $115-120k). They don’t seem to be selling at all. 🤷‍♂️

For a Porsche that’s fairly cheap as they don’t typically lease well.
The $7,500 fed credit is probably helping a lot.

the weaksauce range probably doesn't help either although the car is probably not one for long trips anyway.

The range is actually not too bad considering a first effort EV by a major legacy ICE manufacturer. The actual range is higher than the EPA estimates - its more closer to 300 miles. But like every other legacy car maker, it's hobbled when taking a trip. There aren't enough chargers out there just yet. It will be a very exciting world when that situation changes.

Starts at $100K... literally the same price and specs as a Taycan 4S. Definitely not cheaper as we expected, and honestly I don't know why anyone would buy the Audi badge over the Porsche at the same price.

Looks awesome - I think the styling is even better than Taycan.

Finally some great looking EVs!

Its really great looking. I would choose the Audi for looks but I know that Porsche makes higher quality cars. I bet the Audi comes way better equipped at the same price though. They need to improve the range a bit and its super heavy. More aluminum and carbon fiber needed

Guess I'm the only one, the looks do nothing for me. The front end especially has too many conflicting styling cues.
