We don't know exactly how many preorders Porsche has accepted but Zellmer said: "If all the people [who preordered] buy this car, then we are sold out for the first year." Considering how strong Telsa Model 3 sales were following its massive amount of preorders, we aren't surprised to hear that the Taycan may already be sold out. Speaking of Tesla, Porsche was also surprised when it found out where most of these pre-orders were coming from.



"More than half of the people that are signing up for the Taycan have not owned or do not own a Porsche," Zellmer said. "Typically, if we look at our source of business, people coming from other brands, it's Audi, BMW, or Mercedes. The number one brand now is Tesla. That's pretty interesting, to see that people that were curious about the Tesla for very good reasons obviously don't stop being curious."
