If you buy a Porsche of any type you need to be able to afford to get it repaired. Porsche dealers love their customers because they are an endless stream of revenue. The Taycan in particular is a guaranteed money pit for them. If you can't afford a Porsche buy Chinese or Korean. Far less expensive and best of all, far more reliable, perform very well and rarely require repairs.

So they have based their headline figure on the 1000 people they asked and then extrapolated that out to the whole country, rather than going by their own mortgage data. Sold figures there 😉

Any EV would struggle to match you on a journey like that. Lee's couldn't look at it, because it has a relatively short range and very poor fuel economy - it's not built to be a long distance tourer. A long-range Tesla would be the best bet, but even there, if you were prepared to pee in a layby and not rest at all, it would lose. The thing is, journeys like that are a very small part of life for most drivers. The other advantages of EVs more than make up for taking a bit longer on a long road trip.

Dealers are pushing electric cars because vehicle makers that fail to achieve the ZEV mandate sales targets will be subject to fines, with a system of proposed flexibilities and credits to support those that sell a low volume of EVs. If a company misses the target, it will be made to pay the Government £15,000 for every car that doesn't comply.

many cars will go round corners fast if the driver has the bottle. I have left many so called performance Porsches for dead in something that on paper doesn`t stack up but it`s 80% driver and 20% car.

I would think that cancelling someone's order and pushing them into an EV is quite close to "Bait and Switch" selling, which is illegal. Irrespective of whether you are an EV fan or not, this is not an acceptable selling practice.

This is government led, based on Net Zero targets . Look at the plans to financially punish heating firms if they don't reach installing heat pump ex-changer targets. The enforced selling of EV's is also raising the vehicle insurance market doubling the premiums to compensate for EV coverage

I was so excited to buy my new Boxster in 2001, and even more excited when I got rid of it in 2007. Absolutely unbelievable list of never ending faults.. Two, or was it perhaps 3 Rear main oil seals, wheel bearing, roof not closing properly ( plus the never correctly folding rear window). Door handle fell off, radio had a fault. Roof material chaffing and wearing. the optional extra thing between the headrests rattled.. flew off once when accelerating...
