Porsche Mission E

It may not be as quick off the line as the Tesla P100D, but other aspects help it compete.

It's got the Porsche badge, for starters, and a competitive starting price tag. Will be interesting to see how it holds up performance-wise at the track, and whether it will get thermal cutback after a few laps.

 

Yes, I do not think Teslas look like anything special, very boring. This Porsche is very intriguing, tho it does look a little like a mustang from

The coolest part of Tesla is the interior in my opinion

 

Maybe they are taking notes from me and decided all cars look better with exhaust

 

This is reason enough to get excited about EVs.

 

The concept model looks awesome (as do most concepts). The production version is a bit boring to me. Minimally more exciting than the Model S. Front reminds me of a Ferrari 550 minus the head scoop.

 

Even thought I think Porsche is a great brand (had one myself), in EV world, Tesla has a huge leg up by having so many Teslas on the road for so long. Imagine all the data that has been collected and perfected over time. EV cars (IMO) are like big software products, when perfected overtime, makes hard to compete from launch. Need time to catch up to best practices (which currently is Tesla's know-how).
Porsche will really need to come out with something radical (closer to the shown prototype) with great stats to try to offset Tesla in market share. I think a modified e-Panamera with some styling updates won't do the trick. But definitely tracking this one and look forward to official stats releases

Although the article says a year ahead of schedule it doesn't appear it is any different than was reported on insideevs previously. It is a bit more specific than some info, stating the car will be delivered to customers in 2019, not just introduced or manufacturing begun.

I guess it's good the CEO feels comfortable confirming this information. Although do notice that Porsche's CEO said this in September, this article is simply a recap two months after he said it.

Good news either way I guess. I expect we'll see it at auto shows in 2018 (Geneva, etc.) if it is to debut in 2019.

 

I am officially on the waiting list for this vehicle.
This will be my first electric car.

 

as usual the concept is a stunner, but what we might get is less so.....
thats too bad.
however, even the warmed over panamera body looks better than the tesla, has a performance heritage brand, and will attract the status conscious. left to be seen is how well it will function......

 

couldn't agree more!
