And for the person who said chargers are everywhere. Not yet their not. If you go off highway into the hinterlands you sometimes need to go 20, 30, or more miles out of your way to find one based on some of the long term tests I’ve read.
So, when they come out with a reasonably priced electric pickup with 200 - 300 miles of towing range and more charging stations, I’m in but, that’s probably several years off.

I can't speak to this. My last Porsche drives were a new rental 1984 Porsche 911 at Nürburgring, and a new 911 Turbo I was tasked to "ferry" 5000 miles to a 1988 competition event. (The owner graciously let me compete in the same event, and came within one-tenth of a second of his time). In ten days, we'd worn-out all four of his new tires!
My two 914/6s had "enough electronics" in 1971...
