Porsche admits the all-electric Macan was a mistake
"When the people who built the car admit they broke it, that's not news—that's a confession. The Macan's problem was never the engine; it was treating a cash cow like a marketing billboard."
— Revvly Take
Porsche's former CEO acknowledged that going electric-only on the Macan was the wrong strategic call, and the company is now course-correcting. The move signals that even Stuttgart can't ignore market realities—enthusiasts and buyers want options, not mandates. This matters because it reveals how quickly EV-only bets can crater resale confidence and customer goodwill.
