Porsche stock collapses after numerous problems cause demand collapse

[@_jasonj_]

Let's increase prices at a rate of 10-20% per year and see what happens to demand.

More like double the rate of inflation. On a long enough timeline it ends up being the same. See 2008 or sept 27 2024 stock market crash. People need a roof, reliable transportation and food. If the cost of any of those goes up faster than wage or salary, then your customer pool will shrink over time.

All my friends that were driving premium legacy cars in China have moved to Chinese EVs, not because they are downsizing but because is a more compelling offering. One went from a Maserati to a Li and when he showed me the new car he was so exited shoeing me all the tech it comes with. I really think legacy already lost China

[@pentoo988]

The Chinese Delete America (and all foreign companies) program has something to do with it. Even so I agree the trend for EV value to be as good as the premium ICE vehicles is undeniable both in and outside of China when comparing performance/luxury/tech features. I wish Chinese vehicles could be imported into the US with a reasonable import tax so our lazy legacy vendors would have to compete.

Porsche had chosen the wrong crowd over the last 20 years.....hence paying the price for the mistake.

"the absolute limit" is actually 140, over that a driver in a real problem. But more important there are plenty of tricky driving on the roads and also all the speed cameras are marked on the online map by the law etc. So driving like on autobahn is not an option, but aggressive driving on packed and/or mountain roads it is.

Most countries have speed limits. That doesn’t mean everyone follows them exactly every second they are driving.

[@johnwilson5743]

Yes, this is a special strategy by Chinese Automakers to get into European/North American markets, via the "back door". Buying up "old" legacy Car Companies and initially continuing with ICE engines before moving directly to BEV's (Battery Electric) or sometimes their NEV (New Energy Vehicles) ie Hybrids. Those Chinese Companies now own (and have for between 10-15 years) Volvo, Polestar, (Owned by Geely), MG, (owned by SAIC) Lotus and others. They tend to retain the "old HQ's" in the Country of origin eg England, Sweden but often the cars are designed and built in China with enough local input to make it seem like England and Sweden etc. YEs, sometimes they also have to assemble the cars in the original Country. All this results in people thinking they are buying English or Sweden cars! However, what most people don't know, is that Chinese Car Companies and individual large Chinese investors, also now own 19% of Daimler (Mercedes). I'm both an EV Analysist and Fund Manager and we've been watching the Chinese NEV/BEV market for 20 years now. It's very, very, interesting. When the Chinese Government decided to heavily assist the NEV/BEV market, they took a long-term view. At its peak there were more than 400 NEV Car Companies. When the Chinese Government stopped their direct subsidy support at end of 2022, allowing market forces to do the survive or die dance, it was down to approx 91 Companies and further rationialisation will force it down to around 25-30. But all these are battle hardened Companies just frothing at the bit to get into markets outside China. They must do so, or die! So they will be VERY aggressive.

They bent over backwards, especially with some of the cartoonish design elements (BMW M3/M4) to appeal specifically to that sector of the Asian market. They forged ahead regardless of misgivings by consumers in Europe and the US. Regarding Porsche’s woes and the Chinese market opting for local brands, like anything else in China, in spite of the exterior bling, everything else under the covers is absolute cheap shiite.

UChicago Prof. Shirley Meng’s Laboratory for Energy Storage and Conversion creates world’s first anode-free sodium solid-state battery - a breakthrough in inexpensive, clean, fast-charging batteries. LESC believes the research brings forward the reality of inexpensive, fast-charging, high-capacity batteries for electric vehicles and grid storage. To create a sodium battery with the energy density of a lithium battery, the team needed to invent a new sodium battery architecture. Anode-free batteries store ions on an electrochemical deposition of alkali metal directly on the current collector. This approach enables higher cell voltage, lower cell cost, and increased energy density, but comes with challenges.

[@greggrant4614]

Good to hear! Has the laboratory produced a sample battery that can pass the nail-puncture test, not only when charged, but also discharged - at which point the active pure lithium or sodium metal would be deposited on the negative collector and therefore most vulnerable to a fire? A reference would be great!

At least 10 years away from production. 😂

LMK when the "challenges" have been overcome.

[@alexandermelbaus2351]

​@@AllDogsAreGoodDogs "Challenges" means that everything else on the battery got worse; volume, charge/discharge speed, lifespan etc. Batteries are always going to have these challenges, the problem for a battery being implemented in a mobile environment, it needs everything overcome. They have completely screwed up the introduction of electric cars. Elon Musk maybe a complete idiot. Tesla has set the standard of charging batteries to refuel; Battery swapping takes the need for charge rate being factored into batteries, eliminates charge times and solves a great many problems not just in the car but also at the charging station which is never going to be able to do fast charging of 15 minutes on mass. You would have thought that he had atleast worked out with the rest of the industry to use only one plug, instead he built his own network just for Tesla to give him a competitive advantage. The entire automotive industry is built around the legacy car manufacturers, Tesla produces and ships the cars. How much support is there out there for your Tesla? I don't know. It is actually beneficial for Tesla for the other companies to be succeeding at electric. This can still be a flop or a successful nightmare. NEO went with the battery swapping, it's no big deal to add the plug. I think devising a good standard and system for battery swapping is going to be far better for EV's, especially their resale value.

[@philhealey4443]

​@@alexandermelbaus2351The battery cassette exchange system could be a robotic drive through experience taking 2 minutes and a buffer stock of batteries could allow smoothing of grid demands from off peak charging and allow automatic preparation for high demand holiday weekends. But it needs international cooperation on standardising the technology and it doesn't exactly sound cost effective. Even though battery swapping was apparently a feature in US EV taxi fleets in the early 1900s.

Porsche does not have state of art software to compete with Tesla and the Chinese brands. They are going to face an uphill battle and most likely they will have to look for a third party like Huawei, Nvidia and other companies specializing in making autonomous software.

Love your commentary. EV's will win 100% in the long run, as the Circular Sustainable economy takes hold. No point in fighting the inevitable superior technologies.

[@rogerfroud300]

The depreciation of the Taycan is astronomic compared to EVs, and Porsche owners are not used to accepting this sort of loss. Porsche and all other premium sports brands have a serious problem, because a large part of the appeal is performance, and you can get that much more cheaply and in a more practical package with something like the Tesla Plaid. Sure, there's the luxury element and brand perception, but that's relying on the ICE legacy which is coming to a close. If they're not careful, they're going to go the same way as companies that made Steam powered vehicles. Either they get it right and survive or they don't. It's a stark reality check for Porsche.

[@justhecuke]

He was talking about China, where a huge percentage of Porsche sales are. Also, Porsche estimated far higher sales. The crash is due to missed expectations, which is affecting their long term plans. They were tooling to become 100% EV. VW/Audi/Porsche expected EV sales to overtake ice by 2030. That doesn't appear to be the case by a large margin, so their strategy is all shot. This is billions of dollars in tooling, training, supply contracts, designs, and a crisis of confidence in management to have been so dismally wrong.

It's very possible that Porsche thought they could get away doing what GM does - Engineer-out reliability and quality. In America, GM's Republican Management knowingly engineers-out quality at every point from materials selected, to the actual designs, to the manufacturing process. This is no easy feat, as they must design-in failure immediately after warranty expiration. Porsche probably doesn't such engineering prowess so readily available. With time, they too can succeed.

[@alex.velasco]

Nostrodamus here. I foresee several factors that will hit internal-combustion engine (ICE) automobiles simultaneously, triggering a black swan event: Tightening of government restrictions on polluting ICEs in urban areas. Collapse of Hydrogen-powered vehicles humiliates the car companies and their champions, undermining their efforts to manage the transition. Electric vehicle (EV) cost-of-ownership continues downward, EV range up. EV charging subsidised by companies, etc.. becomes commonplace. Home solar panels charging EVs further reduce running costs. A lot of chatter about extraordinary low cost-of-ownership. Media highlights the measurable and notable reduction in noise and other pollution, and corresponding quality-of-life improvements as EVs propagate. Public enthusiasm for EVs that was rising, accelerates. More political talk about ending of petrol/gas ICEs as credibility of industry is close to zero. Bottom falls out of the new ICE market. New ICEs heavily discounted and sold at a loss. Bottom falls out of the secondhand market. Used ICEs changing hands for dozens of dollars. Petrol/gas stations going out of business. With the collapse of the ICE market, talk turns to: “How to reclaim and recycle all those obsolete ICEs?” and “What to do with all those old gas stations? … old oil tankers? … old refineries? etc…” Auto companies scrambling to retool for solely-EV production as demand rockets. Company executives change their tune about EVs, and beg for government handouts to manage the transition. Car industry shake-up with many failing to make the adjustment. Major oil/petroleum companies shake-up as demand plummets. Huge promotion and propaganda blitz to rescue the situation for ICEs fails spectacularly. Massive culture wars around EVs, especially in US. Lots of flag waving and posturing by paid-for politicians (think of the anti-Japan sentiment in the 80s). The public, unmoved, embrace EVs wholeheartedly. Politicians and industry team up to pick through the wreckage of their major flag-bearing industrial companies (GM, Ford, Fiat, Renault, Toyota, Honda etc.). Turmoil in Middle East and other oil producing regions (Russia, Nigeria, Venezuela, Angola, Canada etc.) as the cash dries up spectacularly and breaks their economies, uproots their oligarchies, and upends the rampant cronyism. Shock waves crash through a major global religion as central influence wanes. Residual demand for ICEs amongst a few hold-outs in the Middle East, Russia, Africa, and India, for example. Victorious Chinese EV manufacturers help accelerate the transition in developing economies. I foresee that these events will accelerate in the next two years and will take about five years to play out. (By now, you’ve realised that I’m no Notradamus - It’s true, anyone can read the writing on the wall.)

[@horsebee1]

The irony is that history is repeating itself in that the legacy automakers are failing for the same reasons that the EV automakers failed in the 1920's. They have failed to understand the emerging technology and they dont have the funds available to invest fully in it while keeping their backbone ICE production profitable. Over the next 10 years we are going to see many of the legacy brands disappear, brands like GM, Nissan and Mitsubishi. Even Toyota will struggle thanks to their foray into hydrogen. It is the Betamax of the transport industry.
