> As for why Porsche is spending money on ICE engines...well, no one really buys a Porsche because it's a "practical car", do they?

I don't know. I find my daily very practical: a Porsche Panamera MY2013, now nearing 125 000 miles and 12 y/o. Still under extended manufacturer warranty. I have it since more than five years now (bought it used). Next car is another used Panamera (probably a 2020 or something). Very sweet, comfy, luxurious ride and yet if you push the pedal to the metal, way funnier to drive than, say, a Mercedes Class S.

Well, in a big city I wouldn't call a 5m long car that drinks 12 or more liters "practical". Also it's an expensive and high maintenance car even when functioning properly (I'd be scared of the bill for changing those tires or doing Porsche's maintenance...)

But, you said it: sweet, comfy, luxurious, funnier. Valid reasons, of course, but different :-)
