Brother in Law bought a Taycan through his business due to the tax benefits and it does apparently drive very well. Had a couple of range/charger/time issues and got hacked off with it. Went back to the dealer and asked to do a swap for a 911 and got offered peanuts. 5000 miles and 6 months old. Went ballistic and got no-where. He is now running around and telling everyone who will listen about the Pork experience.
Given this is an area undergoing real time development and change as it integrates into society on many levels I do try and filter the noise from the real facts.
What happens if the slow down (import duty, lack of apparent interest etc) means investment changes.
Does the investment in charging infrastructure also revert? or catch up!
Will there be an overlay of electric only support/repair businesses appear to fill a gap?
How will the outsourcing of EU companies BEV products to Chinese production sites impact things. More of the EU workforce being hollowed out.
I see value in BEV cars but as a parallel solution not a total replacement. It is good to see many aspects
Tesla shaking up the somewhat lack of development in many of the existing manufacturers to the overall benefit of the customer in the medium term.
We have also seen a number go pop, Fisker (again, no surprise) and Lucid being high profiles ones.
It does at least make for more interesting reading than historic stuff like XXXX launches new model for year XXXX with different alloy wheels. It was getting pretty boring.
