Is that car actually for sale, or is it a hypothetical build? That's crazy either way. $40k of that number is exclusive interior leather and Lux tax.

I guess they'll just have to roll out a facelifted Taycan with an incremental performance boost to put it back on top. MSRP never comes down unless it's a Tesla.
