[@ehb403]

Not entirely unexpected. The EU demonstrated that same philosophy with Diesel adoption. The politicians are the tail and it's wagging the dog that is the car makers. Politicians make decisions for political, not technical or market considerations. Is it surprising that they get it so wrong? Climate change is a thing, but EVs ore not a better solution than simply improving petrol vehicles. What's next, mandatory Hydrogen? Although there may be some promise in fuel research, the real payoff will come with more efficient combustion engines. Hydrocarbons produce 2.3 times their weight in CO2, it's chemistry -- the exact formulation of the fuel doesn't matter (and no thank you, I do not want to drive around sitting on a tank of compressed hydrogen waiting to go boom -- which despite some truly awe inspiring engineering at Ford with the Pinto just doesn't happen with petrol, which mostly just burns).

[@jeremymills5399]

They should have researched the customers or potential customers via dealers world wide. I’m pretty sure that as soon as Porsche announced no ice Macans beyond July 2024, pundits went looking elsewhere at other brands. We were disappointed but it certainly made the second hand market light up!

I'm going to have to stop watching these vids about EVs. Thinking about it, I've seen and heard all I need to know that the current technology for EVs is moribund at best, and in its death throes the present Lithium ion battery technology will bring down companies of the stature of Stellantis, Ford, VW plus many smaller brands both ICE and EV. Besides, I will never be able to afford any new car and could no more afford an EV than I could scrape cream cheese off the Moon's surface from my bedroom window. Governments around the globe have, with their brain-dead nett zero carbon laws, successfully mandated the destruction of their car industries and major employers.

[@DHW256]

As intended. The government push for EVs is a ruse for mass transit, a fascist scheme to remand private transportation as a novelty for wealthier people, just as it was in the 19th Century and early 20th Century when EVs outsold ICE cars.

[@MrZimmmy]

As a long-time 911 enthusiast, I believe it’s time to reassess the EV market’s challenges, especially around value retention. Luxury EVs, including Lucid, Tesla, BMW, and MBZ, have all seen steep depreciation of ~45% to 50% in their first two years. This issue impacts the entire industry. The situation may worsen as the Trump administration aims to eliminate the $7,500 federal tax credit for qualified buyers, which would put more pressure on EV sales and market confidence. Navigating these challenges requires recalibrating expectations and restoring customer trust, something Porsche has long excelled at. I remain committed to supporting that vision.

[@MegaShinobi3]

As an owner of a Porsche Cayenne, I'd like to express a marketing concern I have with Porsche. It seems they've adopted the typical American approach to marketing their vehicles, akin to selling dog food or cosmetics, by forsaking the use of factory numbers for names that seem to lack substance. In my opinion, they haven't mastered this technique, as evidenced by all the current Porsche model names, along with others like Tiguan, Touareg, Passat, and the former Merkur. I understand this is the modern way, yet Porsche had no issues selling models like the 911, 928, 944, or 356. I believe the company should focus more on making PDK replacement parts available to the public rather than on brainstorming names in focus groups. Personally, I refer to my vehicle by its factory number: 955. Bitte.

No brand is reverting. None. They'll have to learn quicker how to be profitable from EV, sure.

[@eldontyrellcorp]

@johanmeert530 They won't be profitable before years and years. In the meanwhile, they will have disappeared. The only solution to be profitable would be to build their cars in china (and put a very small battery in it, probably) but then they would be taxed when entering Europe. In Europe, energy is way too expensive. That's what will kill thousands of companies in the months and years to come. Not only the car industry but many others like BASF in Germany.

Whilst I agree on the issue of depreciation you are ignoring the issue of regulatory compliance in Europe and the UK. They have no choice but to produce electric cars .

[@tvonfelsen]

All the manufacturer, present in the EU-market, are obligated not to exceed 93 g/km WLTP (around 73 g/km NEDC) in average on registered cars to EU next year (2025). If they exceed, they'll pay 95 Euros for each car and of each CO2 gram they exceed. So if you put, say, 500 000 cars to European market and your fleet's average CO2s are 110 g/km, you end up paying 816 000 000 Euros fines to the European Commission. Now, re-think, if Porsche or any other manufacturer present in the European market, are doing the electrification just because they miscalculated the EV demand on the market.

The car manufacturing world ELT made a really poor decision when they just blindly followed EU regulatory requirements. You don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Hybrid should have been the baseline of their change with some EV’s. They are still getting it wrong, it’s not a case of consumers not being ready yet. The product is not the equal of a ICE vehicle, solve that and people will be willing to buy an equal or superior product. Don’t blame consumers look at your product. Good products sell themselves.
