I've said this in other threads and I'll repeat, the Porsche Taycan Turbo S (stupid name since there is no Turbo) is the only EV that I have any interest in at all, and I can't afford one so I guess I'l be sticking with ICE for now.

Porsche has long abandoned the significance of the Turbo as a description and more of a trim and performance level. Almost all of their ICE cars are now turbocharged. To me the Turbo model means it’s the most powerful and luxurious trim of a particular model. All the GT cars are more like street legal race cars and the GTS is the sporty trim level. At least that how I think of them.
I am waiting for an EV Macan and then may replace my Macan Turbo.
