Not for me but it will get lots of press.

I also read the Autoweek version a few minutes ago. Interesting, but not so much with a starting price of $231,995. Will it sell?

Neat. There probably is a market for electric hypercars that look quite normal.

Did I read correctly that it is a 4 door with no back seats?

Interesting question.

We will see if there is any crazy resale lift with flippers like the Dakar, but my guess is that people will be hesitant even at MSRP given the substantial depreciation risk on the Taycan.

There is a lighter weight Weissach version which has no back seats. Unlike the real Weissach car this is a no-cost option.
