Overview
- A report published Thursday said Porsche management and the company works council have agreed in principle to phase out Taycan production by 2030, though Porsche has not formally confirmed the decision.
- CEO Michael Leiters has told journalists there are no plans to discontinue the Taycan in the short term, a comment the company has cited when asked about the report.
- Porsche will keep Taycan assembly at its Stuttgart plant while winding the model down over several years rather than stopping production immediately, according to multiple news accounts.
- Taycan deliveries have plunged from about 40,600 units in 2023 to roughly 16,300 in 2025 and just over 6,000 in the first half of 2026, a collapse that contributed to large write‑downs and a corporate restructuring including planned job cuts.
- It remains unclear whether Porsche will build a direct Taycan successor, fold an electric saloon into a future Panamera line, or otherwise reshape its EV lineup, and the company’s next steps will be watched for effects on plant jobs, model strategy and sales in China and the U.S.
