Porsche reportedly planning to end Taycan production by 2030
Multiple reports suggest Porsche intends to discontinue its Taycan electric sports car by 2030, though the company has only confirmed there are no short-term plans to axe it.
Porsche appears to be planning to wind down production of the Taycan by 2030, according to multiple reports citing a German business newspaper, though the carmaker has stopped short of confirming the timeline publicly. Official comments from Porsche have only gone as far as ruling out a near-term discontinuation of the electric saloon, leaving the longer-term picture unclear.
The Taycan entered series production in 2019 and initially sold strongly, but demand has since fallen sharply. That drop in sales is understood to sit behind the reported decision, with the car now facing an uncertain future as Porsche weighs up where to put its resources in the years ahead.
One detail to emerge from the reporting is that a possible move of Taycan production from Stuttgart to Leipzig, which had apparently been under consideration, is no longer being discussed. That suggests Porsche is not looking to save the model by relocating its manufacturing, but is instead working towards a clean end to the line.
