1. That's not how electricity works.

2. The Panamera S Plug in hybrid is not a sports car, it weighs 4,619 lbs

3. Why is the charging port on the driver's side, but the charging station is mounted on the other side? Does the dudebro who owns it not know how to back that thing up? Is he the sort of asshole who will do the same thing at gas stations?

4. Way to not mention the $99,000 entry price.

Unfortunately, making hybrids is fashionable engineering now. Owning one is also fashionable, plus you get to brag about it being a porsche.

Yay! More marketing for the public that leaves enthuisasts feeling disgusted.

If I was going to buy a 4600lb car, which I never will. I don't want anything over 3000 really. I'd probably buy this thing.

I know someone who bought a hybrid Cayenne. :(

It's basically a 918 with four doors right? Right guys? Guys?

I'd be fine with it if they made the damn wagon already

If Ferdinand Porsche saw this he would probably cry laughing at someone who would call that a sports car. Then he would cry in agonizaion because someone wouls tell him that is a car from his company. Same company that has released an SUV with leather air vents.

I'd be really, really worried if a Porsche couldn't outrun an electron heading down a power cable.

It would pretty much have to be stationary to not beat it.

A family member of mine has a hybrid Cayenne, lol.

How electricity actually works is completely bonkers. Especially with metals. Pretty much blasted my cap when I learned the truth about metals and what they do with the outer electron shells.

I agree it's not a sports car, but if I had the money and couldn't spend it on a Cayman because reasons...

...I'd get it.

What do you mean?

Metals are unique in that they lose their outer electron shell easily during bonds. This means that there is a free-flowing cloud of electrons through metal materials, and accounts for all the unique properties of metals, especially electrical conductance.

Someone out of middle-high school might envision electricity as a bolt of energy zipping through a conductor, but the reality is a lot closer to this:

Electrons pass the charge from one orbital to another, to another, to another, to another, to another, ad infinity until it reaches the other side. It's the telephone game that happens just a tiny bit slower than c, trillions of times and considering how we experience electricity in the macro world (especially with lightning)...It's totally fucking bonkers.

I guess that never really shocked me (pun, nice) when I learned that. It just made sense. It helps to think of it almost like a fluid system. Voltage (or Electromotive Force) is the pressure and Amperes are the flow.

That ad was not aimed at you or I. Everyone knows that electricity is really slow and any Porsche should be able to out pace it.
