Impressive feat of engineering for sure. Personally I'm still biased against EVs and the Taycan reaffirms why:
- 5100 lbs
- Inability to row through your own gears (I enjoy an auto with manual shift mode)
- No noise; I'm not a loud exhaust guy but when I am driving in a spirited fashion I like an exhaust note
- Cost and inconveniences of EV ownership
I'm already not happy about the Macan going EV, but I'd be really upset if this happens to the Boxster/Cayman. The fundamentals of a roadster include: light weight, manual option, good exhaust note. An EV model would be blasphemy.
For DD use EVs objectively can't be beaten. Going to the pump and dropping $45 a pop hurts my soul. But I'll still put up with it for the reasons stated above.
