Porsche to slow Taycan output as sales slump, can the new Macan EV turn things around?

Ehh more than a bit misleading. Early 2024 is a lame duck model with a huge refresh that has 350+ miles highway range and class leading charging curve/time coming to dealer lots in the summer. Potential buyers are mostly waiting on the refresh model.
This is silly.
The Taycan (and cousin Audi e-tron GT) are high performance sports cars that happen to BEV. These models were not intended for mass adoption. They’re more of a halo vehicle for their respective brand’s EV division.
Of course the Macan EV is going to be the bigger seller.
2024 model years were going to be a dud.
They announced 2025 with 30% better everything…who wouldn’t buy 25 without a 40% discount.

Damn. Wish i could afford a Taycan.
They can sell me a taycan for a quarter of the price if they’re really worried about sales
Taycan is amazing, it’s just way too expensive
The Taycan 4S in Canada is like 20-25% more than it was when it came to market.
Sure, part of it is the weakening Canadian Dollar but also the real estate and job market aren’t as robust. Then there’s mortgage renewals at higher rates.
Except for the Canadian Dollar, same thing is happening in the States.
Also, luxury BEV residuals are tanking so likely lease payments are likely going to be much higher if Porsche can help it.
Why wouldn’t it? The Taycan is an excellent EV sport sedan, but the market right now is hot for crossovers and SUVs.
In Toronto, Macans are a dime in a dozen. These Macan EVs would sell like hotcakes once they hit showroom floors.
sales slump? these guys charge way too much. with this economy and APR? they out their mind.
