Porsche Will Not Join The Controversial trend Of Electric Cars

Unlike other manufacturers, Porsche will not join the controversial trend of installing large freestanding screens in their cars.

Michael Mauer, Porsche’s chief designer, said in a recent interview with Australia’s Drive that the company plans to offer only appropriately sized screens and, where possible, analogue instruments.

“I’m delighted that for now, we’re not following what most others are doing,” Mauer said.

“As for the screen, we’ve always said that first of all it should be integrated, not that we install these large free-standing tablets in the car,” says Mauer.

Porsche replaced the mechanical indicators with curved digital panels in new models such as the Taycan and Cayenne.

Customers complained about Volkswagen’s decision to switch the controls to a large touch screen, after which Volkswagen changed its mind and decided to re-install physical buttons in its new models.
