After all, is the Porsche Taycan really going to be discontinued?

Observador29 August 2026 at 12:36

Porsche cannot confirm that the Taycan, its first electric vehicle, will continue to be produced in the future. The German brand merely states that the model will not be discontinued in the short term, but refuses to guarantee its long-term survival.

The Taycan's discontinuation is increasingly likely, with internal sources indicating that the model is unlikely to survive beyond 2030. This uncertainty comes at a time when Porsche is reassessing its electric vehicle strategy.

The Taycan was an important milestone for the Stuttgart brand, representing Porsche's first foray into the fully electric vehicle segment. However, changes in the market and European emissions regulations are pressuring the manufacturer to reformulate its offering.

Porsche currently faces significant challenges with electric vehicle demand in Europe, which has forced the brand to reconsider its electrification plans and the future of specific models such as the Taycan.

Lisbon creche wins the absenteeism battle and maintains four-day week

Centro Infantil Maria de Monserrate, in Lisbon, became the world's first creche to implement a four-day week, maintaining Monday to Friday operation for children. The association Caminhos da Infância, which manages the facility with 92 children and 25 staff members, decided to maintain the hybrid model (two weeks with four days, one with five) after a pilot project, adapting to the rhythm of activities and the needs of families. The 15% reduction in working hours required hiring an additional staff member, a cost offset by adjustments to extra-salary benefits. Executive director Inês Poeiras notes that absenteeism has improved significantly, but staff retention remains a challenge due to competition from public sector salaries, which IPSS cannot compete with.
