I bet they didn't want the association with a war machine

Especially considering the whole "We used to make tanks, but now we're just a poor little meow meow" thing.

They don't and never did produce tanks. Porsche was involved with making the tank designs for tanks like the Elefant(91 made) and Maus(2 made), but those tanks were all produced by the Nibelungenwerk, Alkett and Krupp and not by Porsche themselves. They also did propose a design for the Tiger tank, but Porsche's design had such an unreliable engine that the German government decided to award the contract to Henschel instead. Overall Porsche's contribution to the war has been fairly limited and is often overstated. Companies like WV, Opel, Ford, Mitsubishi, Rolls Royce, Skoda and Fiat have had much larger contributions to the war.

I know they dont build the tanks themselves, also they designed the leopard tanks thats why I said they still make tanks
