Our Reading
The launch follows a familiar script.
Porsche’s electric SUV is just another luxury brand jumping on the EV bandwagon. The Cayenne Coupe Electric boasts a range that’s just enough to make a road trip possible, but not quite enough to make it practical. The new battery management system is likely just a fancy way of saying “we tweaked the software.” And a 0-60 mph time of under 5 seconds is just a number until you see the price tag. Because what’s new here, really, is that Porsche is finally selling an electric car that’s not just a concept.
