Porsche Says the Taycan Isn’t Going AnywhereTime may be running out on one of the best EVs on the market.A report out of Germany suggests that Porsche could phase out its first battery-powered model, the Taycan, by 2030, according to InsideEVs. The automaker denies this, but the speculation surrounding the well-regarded sedan highlights the difficulties legacy automakers have had selling EVs.More from Robb ReportWyoming's First Legal Whiskey Distillery Just Dropped a Bourbon to Celebrate America's 250thThe Oldest Existing Copy of 'The Odyssey' Is Now on View at the Met in N.Y.C.Chile's First Leader After Independence Went to School in This $23.6 Million London MansionAdvertisementAdvertisementGerman business publication WirtschaftsWoche cites unnamed sources within Porsche in its story about the automaker's plans to wind down production of the Taycan. The magazine claims that the company considered moving production of the four-door away from its primary factory in Stuttgart, Germany, as well as discontinuing it even sooner, before settling on gradually phasing out the model by 2030.Last month, days after Porsche announced that it would begin "gradually" streamlining its lineup by "up to 50 percent," rumors began swirling that the Taycan was one of the models on the chopping block (the Cayenne coupe and both the battery- and gas-powered versions of the next-gen 718 were also mentioned). At the time, Porsche declined to comment, but on Tuesday, a representative for the automaker told Robb Report that it remains committed to the Taycan."Streamlining the model range does not necessarily mean discontinuing entire model lines. In many cases, it also involves reducing the number of variants," a spokesperson said in a statement. "We have already begun this process. For the Taycan, we will continue to reduce the number of variants in order to lower complexity. We currently have no plans to discontinue the Taycan in the short term. We have invested significantly in the model and will continue to monitor how demand develops."Porsche's focus on streamlining its offerings isn't the only reason why the Taycan's fate is now being questioned. Sales of the electric sedan have been falling despite continued rave reviews and more Nürburgring records. Porsche delivered 16,339 Taycans in 2025, which was 22 percent fewer than in 2024, according to InsideEVs. Through the first half of 2026, the company has delivered just 6,219 examples, which represents a 25 percent decrease compared to the same period last year.AdvertisementAdvertisementDespite this, Porsche, as the spokesperson stated, continues to invest in the Taycan. Sure, there may be fewer models than before (the wagon-style Cross Turismo is no longer available in the U.S.), but the four-door mid-cycle refresh debuted just two years ago. The upcoming 2027 model will also be the first to feature E-Shift, an optional system that simulates the gear shifts of a combustion engine.Best of Robb ReportThe 2024 Chevy C8 Corvette: Everything We Know About the Powerful Mid-Engine BeastThe World's Best Superyacht ShipyardsThe ABCs of Chartering a YachtSign up for RobbReports's Newsletter.
