Now, if they can improve their overall product quality. Last time I looked, they were third from the bottom for worst in the automobile industry.

The Tesla Cybertruck pickup may hit .30 with some more effort

They better pick up the pace. They will have competition from every major manufacturer

“The decision to keep the 911 two-door sports car powered by internal combustion comes as an outlier to the company's plan, according to Blume, that by 2025, half of all Porsche vehicles sold will be electrified--either fully battery electric or plug-in hybrid.”

The EU wants to phase out gas car sales by 2035, and many other countries have announced similar plans.

A gasoline vehicle phaseout is sometimes called an ICE ban - or an internal combustion engine ban. Many countries are planning for a diesel ban in addition to a gasoline ban for new car sales. The long list of countries planning to ban fossil fuel vehicles shows a growing trend of countries moving beyond gasoline to cleaner, cheaper alternatives.

Here are the latest gasoline car phaseout advances by various countries and the US - including banning gas car sales and diesel car bans.

I like the look of the BMW i4 if they fix the wheels...I guess this is more of a concept look and would be refined as they get closer to production.
