The car looked a lot like the picture of a Taycan I gave him a few months ago (he's an EV nut), and was accompanied by a Panamera full of engineers with laptops, only it was covered in electrical tape with a number of fake panels tacked on. The exhaust tips were actually plastic rings glued into the diffuser.
He got a quick peek inside and said it was very roomy front and rear.

They put a current meter onto the charging cable and were doing some recording of how the car was taking on power. They politely answered most of his questions, but once they realized that they had been "made", they beat a hasty retreat. Presumably before the car could be photographed.

The times they are a changin'. I'm actually looking forward to the release of the Taycan line (I understand a sports car and a crossover/SUV will be coming). I have high hopes for it.
