Porsche reports that its global car sales increased during the third quarter of 2022 by 19% year-over-year to 75,652. Year-to-date, the company sold 221,512, which is 2% more than a year ago.<\/p>\n

Despite these positive results, Porsche<\/a>‘s all-electric car sales decreased year-over-year for the second consecutive quarter, reaching the lowest result since the market launch of the Taycan<\/a> model in early 2020.<\/p>\n

According to the report, the company sold some 6,196 Taycans (Taycan, Taycan Cross Turismo and Taycan GTS) in Q3 (down 30% year-over-year). That’s a pretty significant decrease and the BEV share out of Porsche’s total volume also dropped to 8.2%.<\/p>\n

The company explained that deliveries declined “due to supply chain-related bottlenecks and declining parts availability”<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“Both of these factors particularly affect the electric sports car while the order book for the Taycan remains large.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In other words, production is constrained and, in Q3, the volume was about half of the peak in Q4 2021 (12,656).<\/p>\n

So far this year, Porsche delivered 25,073 all-electric cars to customers (down -12.5% year-over-year), which is also 11.3% of the total volume.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the model is now outsold not only by the 911 but also by the Panamera (marginally). There is a chance that the Porsche Taycan will return to third position in the future, but probably not this year.<\/p>\n
