This is idiotic.
I can imagine a world where paddle shifters control throttle and regen behavior. Like "downshifting" from a gentle lift and coast to heavy regen-braking in steps, same with "upshifting" from max torque to gentle eco-mode. Would make EVs even more amazing for people like me actually.
But this, this is stupid.
As stupid as calling an EV "Turbo"?
Porsche lost the plot a long time ago.
I hope someday someone is dumb enough to create a V8 EV...
