Good to check Porsche on its charger nonsense some more.
Porsche won't have the highest capacity charger, Tesla will have that with the Mega Charger. Now that charger is for the Semi, probably won't be charging the pick-up with it, but Porsche will face the 3rd generation Tesla Charger which for reasons JB Straubel laid out may not be as quick as the Porsche charger but may still be better and more reasonable overall and will regardless eat into any quick charge claims by Porsche. Also, lets get real about Porsches demographic. These people if they are green will have a Tesla solar roof and two power walls or equivalents along with a charge plate, rarely would they need a Porsche charger except at high-end hotels they actually drove to. But what they may object to quite a bit is Porsches dishonesty on the green front with its idiotic deal with Shell (Ionity) and refusal to discount the price for the public on the charge- swindler colors are showing- think the fools at Porsche owner VW would have learned after Diesel gate. Every Mission E Porsche owner is going to get a wholly foreseeable earful about that which make them feel stupid and not cool- that is not a brand builder it is the next diesel gate scam. Porsche needs to understand that scrutiny on petrol does not decrease over time it increases exponentially.
Another area where Porsche is likely to be a follower and a pretender possibly trying to fail convincingly is with the Mission E itself. Although as a boutique maker the intent may be for Porsche parent VW to hide behind the boutique status in order to further hide actual compliance numbers on an intended compliance play, there is a real risk here. Porsche/VW as a pretender just wants to say they could deal with Tesla if they had too. Yeah how many copy cat reservations- surely not more than compliance numbers (?) Have to stop making stupid mistakes the recent trope against Tesla on the rebates and Tesla covering it just made more loyal Tesla owners. Porsche priced the Mission E at Performance Model 3 prices (following again) but Tesla has already dropped them a place Porsche likely can't follow very far. The Porsche is lower and wider surely an advantage at the track gives an exotic look but there is a problem if Tesla delivers on the Autopilot and if Tesla can't beat the Mission E at the track with the Model 3 it will just drop the price and if it gets close enough that is also a huge problem. Porsche can't drop the price too much because it will seriously damage the brand prestige pointing it toward a future as cut rate EV go cart maker (yes I know of the 914s and the Boxters but Porsche is not an econo-brand- look what happened to Daimler) . Also, Porsche will have to stay ahead in its stock Taycan of the best tweaked Performance Model 3s, can't let any model years slip below that standard- better be testing the hell out of your poached Model 3s yourself.
I can see a single styling error Tesla is making- writing out "dual motor" is stupid and insulting in my opinion, its like following Ford or something or Cadillac and its slapping an ad on the back of the car which is tawdry, so Tesla should get rid of that and at least offer to remove it for free for customers that want it. Tesla for stop light sessions will have to designate it somehow but not that way for long. Porsche won't make these kinds of taste and styling mistakes, but remember that Tesla almost never does.
I always liked Porsches and will switch my negativity quickly if I can see they go real. I love the "electric soul" motif. If you just do electric stunts do them right, get rid of the stupid hybrids and get rid of the ICE machines and go boldly into the future. Leap frog electric tech do a Casmir effect machine, make it levitate all that is welcome and great. But realize, outside of nostalgia, pro petrol is stupid, ignorant and beyond dangerous. For close to 70 years now petrol has been about the plantation and taking us back to slavery. It has never been above water economically and has no future with its life long necessary criminal subsidies increasingly made transparent. It's an existential threat to humanity (its terror) and as that divesting Rockefeller recently said of Exxon, the company her family founded, she was cutting her ties with it because it would be public enemy #1 in a way that big tobacco never was. Elon Musk said it right: F Oil (petrol.)
Also Porsche at the hyper car level and above, because ICE can't and anything that Electric can't destroy (note Roadster 2 has 10x the NM even of the monster P100D) you're in an arms race with not just Ferrari if it survives FCA or Pininfarina (which as the soul of Ferrari is going all electric) you're in a race with the Asian hyper car makers who will push electric to its limits.
