sorry, but where are we seeing that ? Has Porsche already delivered any electric cars to customers ? Or are you talking about the fact that the e.g German media finally has a darling to talk about, even if it is really really pricey and slower with less range ?

I have no issues with E Porsche. Good for them and their fans. I hope they sell as many as you can even if they take all Tesla customers that overlap. But Porsche only sold 256,255 cars last year after decades of existence since they target a certain clientele. Tesla will surpass that this year in volume.



The Porsche Taycan is pre-ordered more than 30000 times. Most of those customers currently own a Tesla.


Would you mind disclosing your source(s) for both statements?


I Google'd "Porsche Taycan 30000" and found these sources for the 30k pre-orders claim:

* https://thedriven.io/2019/07/31/porsche-taycan-pre-orders-su...

* https://techcrunch.com/2019/07/29/porsche-taycan-reservation...

There is almost-certainly no source for the "most of those customers currently own a Tesla" statement, because that's not something Porsche would ever disclose.
