Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Piecing together the 2nd report from dealers and the top report on investment it looks like it looks like the next-gen 718 will become a mid-engined style BEV launching next year or the year after. I know this will probably get a mixed response on here considering the lack of really sporty BEV offerings this is going to be exciting. Especially if it looks like the Mission-R concept as is rumoured.

Mid engine BEV??
How does that work then?
I guess the E in BEV stands for engine.
Essentially the "mid-engine style" bit refers to the battery location behind the driver and passenger for better handling instead of under floor like a Taycan

Battery Electric Vehicle as opposed to something like PHEV Plug In Hybrid Electric Vehicle and so on yada yada yada, Basically a 100% purely electric charge-up to go vehicle.
Porsche has a pretty visible strategy around 'concepts', drivable 'prototype models' and providing cars at certain events. The Mission R has done the rounds recently and likely to do so for at least 6 months:

Since this is early in the cycle for Porsche, its safe to say that the Mission R is likely to be pretty close to what the new Boxster / Cayman will be. Though, its likely to be 2024 at the very earliest. Porsche tends to not launch a multiple new platforms in a single year. Next year is the Macan EV and its likely that the Boxster / Cayman will come the year after.
Though, their product cycles tend to be new model, 2 years later and you get the refresh and expanded range, 1-2 years later you get the GTS and then a light refresh a year later - so 5-6 years total on the product cycle. Its not always this case since they just launched the Taycan GTS in less than 2 years after initial launch. But the Macan is a good illustration - final refresh for 22/23 model year with revised GTS model and now the new T model. The new EV will come next year while the ICE models will likely get a light refresh for the '24 model year before dropping off in '25. You can see where the Boxster / Cayman will fit into this - Porsche does a very good job of managing demand to delivery to maintain higher prices.
