Had it looked like the concept, I almost certainly would have had one for my next family car.
I’m with you. Being “on the list” is not fully committed. I wish, for instance, they had kept the rear suicide doors. Practical in tight spaces or not, that kind of interior access would be awesome. And the show effect would be somewhat similar to the i8 butterflies. I also read somewhere that their high-speed charging system might not be available / fully operational on the first generation Taycan. I may end up waiting for gen 2. Still happy with my i8 and in no rush.

But I’m going to the Taycan launch in Frankfurt. Porsche invited me. Looking forward to seeing it “in the flesh”.
