Porsche China Faces Collective Boycott by Dealers, Well-Known Blogger: Not Unjust, Definitely Won't Buy Porsche in the Future

On May 26th, it was reported by domestic media that Porsche China dealers have initiated a collective protest and boycott, aiming to pressure the German headquarters.

The main conflict lies in Porsche China's plummeting sales, especially in electric vehicles, leading to losses from selling cars, while Porsche China continues to push inventory onto dealers.

Currently, dealers are using the tactic of halting new car orders to demand subsidies from Porsche headquarters and a change in top management. s_202387d054ae41f2b3d5ed1ec3ab4675.png This incident has sparked heated discussions among netizens, and well-known automotive blogger Han Lu has also shared his views.

Han Lu stated that as a Porsche Taycan owner, he has had a bad experience. Even if you ask me to buy one in the future, I definitely won't buy a Porsche.

The reason is that the Taycan looks good, has a good brand, and his wife likes it, but the quality issues have made him very uncomfortable.

With a Taycan costing over a million, needing air conditioning repairs twice a year on average, and the issue being a fundamental platform-level defect in the system itself, almost every Taycan will need air conditioning repairs, just at different frequencies (at least once a year).

In the face of such incidents, Porsche has not offered any apologies or statements, and no one from the company has communicated with the owners.

Porsche did well in the era of gasoline cars, that's a fact, but in the new energy industry, the arrogant Porsche is completely out of touch: looking down on, not understanding, not learning, and falling behind.

In today's market, the core competitive advantages of their products are basically limited to looking good and having advanced suspension. Other features like being the first to use 800V are now almost commonplace, and their core strengths in these two areas are being rapidly caught up to. In the end, only the Porsche brand name may remain.

The blogger lamented: If the fundamental bugs are not fixed, even if there is a hint of warmth, I believe everyone would be more supportive of Porsche; without anything, don't blame the increasingly difficult sales, and don't blame the dealers for causing trouble. s_81bbe689b858409f8ff8099e8c9bdb14.png
