$80K is still a lot for a base RWD electric car with relatively low range. They're putting their eggs in the SUV basket in the Macan. It sells well because a lot of people just want AWD station wagon with a Porsche badge.

But, there are missing gaps between a Macan, Cayenne, Panamera and Taycan.

There is a larger market for people wanting near luxury high performance sedan in the $60K to $70K and putting a Porsche brand would seal the deal. (Myself included)

I can't justify having a $70K weekend toy and I don't want another SUV.
So, my choice would be to look at a Mercedes and a BMW and even an Audi.

Where's the equivalent C300, 330i, and A4-A5 in a Porsche?
No one wants a sports sedan. They want SUVs
