“Porsche is expanding its app-based subscription service to four new cities in the U.S. and Canada, deepening its experiment i n flexible car ownership even as other automakers back away.

Monthly subscribers can drive as many as 20 different model variants, have vehicles delivered to them, and only pay for gas. Insurance and maintenance are included.” - Bloomberg, Gabrielle Coppola

Porsche tried out the Passport subscription service in Atlanta for about 2 years. Almost 200 people joined, and 80% of them had never owned a Porsche before. That’s a big deal. These are new customers, paying for access to luxury and performance -- not a single vehicle, but 20 different models.
