Deliveries of the Taycan start this year

ok. Deliveries of the model 3 started in 2017. But it took a while to reach critical mass. And some countries still haven't gotten them.

EDIT: "Prices for this ‘Turbo’ launch model will be around £130,000 with cheaper/slower versions kicking off around £65,000 within 18 months of the car’s launch in late 2019. "

So... maybe we'll see some in 2019, but really it's 2021 before more than a few thousand hit the market.

I would assume Porsche to be able to launch a car with an equivalent of production hell, so.

The big question would be where will they source all of those batteries?

"Volkswagen will invest almost 1 billion euros ($1.1 billion) in battery cell production at a facility in western Germany" https://www.reuters.com/article/us-volkswagen-electric/volks...

Cool, I read those a while back. Where will be the the factory located at and when is the ETA for completion? Have they broke ground yet?
