being a traditional car guy that has always stayed away from these new "innovations" found yet another reason to avoid the upcoming 911 hybrid like the plague, that reason is its battery, yeah... a vital component...
Porsche is still undecided on how exactly the battery will be used, creating a massive barrier to any potential buyers, without this the rest doesn't matter. If Porsche is this stuck, i'll stick to the upcoming 992 Turbo

here’s still a major technical hurdle that needs to be solved: the battery. Speaking to the about to retire August Achleitner, aka "Mister 911”, it was revealed that there’s still internal debate in Stuttgart about that essential component.
"The battery is the main question for the car. It has to be solved, together with the need of power output out of the battery because this influences the whole performance of the car,” Achleitner said.
Basically, the issue boils down to whether the battery will be used as a regular hybrid battery or a plug-in hybrid. Previously, it was assumed the plug-in route was the final decision following remarks made by Porsche boss Oliver Blume.
