This is what makes Teslas sustainable and other car cos, like Porsche, not.

A battery pack for a Model 3 is $10K. So even if the whole car is only worth $20K, it's still worth keeping on the road.

The Porsche Taycan battery pack is $70K. The moment you have any issue at all with it, the car will be considered totaled.

Huh? The taycan has an 8-year/100k mile battery warranty. How many 100k+ mile carreras do you see for sale on eBay?

Carrera is not Taycan. Why would you equate both? Different cars with different targets.

The head of the product disagrees with you. No offense but I think he has a slightly better idea of their target buyer than you.

>AW: How much was Tesla on Porsche’s mind when the Taycan was produced? It seems like you’re going right after Model S with this car.

>SW: The first target for ourselves was to make sure that the Taycan becomes a Porsche. We needed to make it as close to the 911, our icon, as possible. Obviously, we had a look at the competition, we had a look at BMW, Mercedes, Tesla.

They mean this as a status symbol, not as the competing vehicle? Taycan is a four door car. A daily driver. Not a two-door sports car. It would compete with Panamera, not 911. Equating the two is wrong in the context of mileage driven. See other comments for that.
