Does Supercharging really matter for Porsche? I continue to believe that people who spend > $100k on a vehicle have no interest in driving over 400km. Which is also why that Supercharging didn't matter as much for Tesla at first when it catered to enthusiasts and the 0.1%.
You really think people with nice cars aren't interested in long drives? How do you think they're getting to Muskoka on Friday...helo? Or Tremblant? Or Tobermory?
I have a P90D and drive it 400kms a day about once a month. The car was $160,000 new. I've taken it on numerous 1000 km road trips and will continue to do so. I don't think I'm an outlier. I think you are maybe.
Sure someone isn't taking a Scuderia on a 400 km trip but the Tesla is far more utilitarian than a sports car or typical imagination of what a $100,000 car might be. Escalades are now $100,000 by the way.
Maybe $200,000 is the new $100,000.
