This is not the platform that's gonna beat Tesla ... or probably even survive > 3 years.

No wonder Porsche said no thanks!
The worst part is that the platform is not the iD4's only issues. Tech, ergonomics, materials, build quality, driving dynamics, speed, etc are all pretty lackluster and subpar, and don't even get me started on the removal of the rear window switches, one of the stupidest and most ridiculous cost-saving features of any new car.
