It sounds like this production boost shouldn't be an issue, either. "We had been ready for it," Porsche spokesperson Andrew Lennon told CNBC. "We had the ability to increase capacity from the beginning, and executives recently made the decision to go ahead."

Porsche intends to invest some 6 billion euros (about $6.8 billion) to produce the Taycan. It will be built in new facilities around the Zuffenhausen campus in Germany that already assembles the 911, 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman. The facility will have automated guided vehicles whisking cars and parts to and fro, allowing more flexibility than a facility full of permanent tracks in the floor.
