The sports saloon I'm most excited about - Porsche Mission E
The Porsche Mission E. The spy shots suggest it is going to be fantastic. I liked the concept, but realistically that concept had little interior space. This on the other hand looks great. Very sexy shape, low, sleek, and modern. Notice the exhaust tips are totally fake. I suspect those will be deleted in production trim and are part of the disguise. Look at the tires. They are wide. This isn't just some eco-rocket like the Tesla. It looks like it will be very fast in the corners since it is supposed to be lighter than Tesla and have wider tires, plus probably the famous Porsche chassis control.
I'm going to call the dealer and put down a deposit this week.

I like full electric (tesla, Mission-E), performance hybrid (e.g. NSX, Panamera Turbo S) or petrol (TTS, E63S, M5). Those are all good.

Really looking forward to this car. First time an all electric has peaked my interest.
My plan was to wait for the F90 M5 CP to come out but this just threw a wrench in the whole thing.

Stealth, I don't know which I am excited about more, the Mission E car itself or the Level 5 800volt charging system that Porsche is developing for it. As an electric vehicle owner for 6 months now, I know the value of being able to fast charge. I think everything that Porsche is doing here is going to be awesome. Even the starting price of the Mission E is going to be great!

As much as I dissent about the F90 M5, if it came down to only being able to own either the Mission E or the F90 M5 I would have to choose the F90 M5. But if I could own both, then I would definitely get both. Or in some other cases, Porsche fans could own lets say a 911 GTS and then get a Mission E for the daily driver duty.

Also what Porsche is not telling you (and Tesla) is fast charging meant the battery also degrades faster. They only want you to use those super fast charging station for road trips, it's not meant for everyday use. Of course if you lease the car, then it doesn't really matter if the battery degrades. My point is they don't tell you the whole story. Last edited by Phatcat; 10-06-2017 at 02:37 AM.. |

My buddy has his name on the list, dealer says he should expect the car sometime in 2019 or early 2020. I'm tempting to order one because the size looks right to me. Although no pricing info has been discussed, they seem pretty sure about it'll be around $100k +/- (canadian dollar)
I never like any EV but this time it's a Porsche product so maybe it'll change my opinion about EV. We'll see.

Just saw this, this morning from a Facebook update on the new Mission E. It's been posted that the started price will be about the same as a base Panamera, for about $85k, which will probably mean the 402hp version. That's still pretty awesome I think. Also the 2 speed transmission will give this Porsche electric car immense range. I'm guessing over 400 miles of range at least. This car is looking better and better!

As I have guessed it, you won't get to charge your Porsche 80% in 15-20 min. unless you live some where near their supercharging station and can access it (and right now there is only one at Porsche's Atlanta HQ). Battery technology is held by a few companies in the world (most notably Panasonic) so everyone's battery is pretty much the same. The only difference is the charging voltage but in which it is more infrastructure dependent rather some kind of unique Porsche technology. We are still a long way from being able to access these kinds of charging speed at home. |
