Porsche isn’t mainstream car. It’s a toy for riches, not for salaried employees.

Edit: I was wrong. I could lease Macan for ~700€/month.

Porsche pushes tech in the higher end cars, make it work well and reduce costs, then eventually ends up in audi's / vw's. Look at how porsche 919 hybrid is making power, its totally new.

Plenty of salaried employees buy Teslas, and Porsches are similarly priced.

Anyone can buy a Porsche with a payment plan. Unfortunately, I know someone who did.

Porsche is in the same market segment as Tesla is.
