Personally I think the S should learn from Porsche about proportions I feel proportions are a major part in making a car attractive - and one of the biggest problems with - say, the Polestar 2, which looks like a sedan-suv crossover, at almost 1.5m tall. I would like to see the next Model S at...

You've answered your own question there. Tesla's aerodynamics are worse than the Taycan Turbo's because they're taller. Nothing at all is stopping them making the next generation Model S 1.378m - surely they could have a much better drag coefficient than the Taycan if they did this, right? And...

I know, but I wasn't trying to be antagonistic, I genuinely believe that Tesla could learn something from what Porsche has done. I respect that Tesla pretty much created this whole segment - to come to one of the segment leaders from nothing takes a lot of skill indeed. But that said, I think it...

https://insideevs.com/news/379926/musk-top-gear-tesla-taycan-race-clarification/ Hey Musk, here's an idea for you, instead of being petty, why not design a car below 1.38m high which is the fastest electric saloon around the Nurburgring?

So on that run the Taycan was actually faster Why not just use the figures from the recorded run? Maybe the best figures for the Model S were ran under better conditions - giving it an unfair advantage?

Hmm I always preferred the aesthetics of the pre-1998 911's (like 993 and older) - looks much sleeker and nicer headlights As for the reviews, I think they are objective. They seem to be anyway. But the way you interpret the reviews can be very subjective, and so, to be honest, it doesn't...

The Taycan, I think, is the best looking car Porsche is making at the moment. Best looking Porsche in fact since the 1994-1998 Porsche 911 (993 generation)

https://www.thedrive.com/opinion/29680/the-2020-porsche-taycan-the-empire-strikes-back Round one to the Taycan - especially as Autopilot and cruise control are a massive waste of money, you can manage perfectly fine without. I've always been very smug about the fact the Porsche is less...

Maybe Tesla could learn a little something from Porsche here

Not bad, Taycan looks much lower in the rear shot

Still really amazing. And if/when Porsche release an even more sporty/higher powered variant...

I'd be so so happy if the Taycan handled better than the 911 GTS But I really think that the weight of the battery pack won't help Porsche. It handles really well, but I think it would help them to really become radical with weight saving

Bloody hell, that's impressive. And when Porsche develops lighter battery packs, Tesla are done for

Bloody hell, it's significantly faster AND more repeatable? And I know I say this a lot, but the fact the Taycan is the most beautiful 4-door saloon in the world doesn't hurt either

I'm sure it will happen. Porsche have designed the Taycan as a four-door supercar - that's its main USP against the Tesla Model S

Yeah, the battery pack is half the problem, a more lightweight battery pack would do wonders for the Nurburgring time

I always wondered what the BMW M5's time was, and high expectation though it was, despite the fact Taycan is electric whilst M5 is petrol, I was slightly disappointed, truth be told to find the lap time for the Taycan was slightly slower. But the Taycan I think will have faster versions - I...

Yeah, I'm wondering what time the Taycan could do similarly stripped out

According to PAGJ1's post earlier the Taycan will have the same dimensions as the E-Tron GT

You said the Taycan is 4.96m long. A BMW 5-series sedan is 4.936m long. So doesn't that make it an E-segment car? Sorry I am a little confused EDIT: The size of a compact car is defined by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as having a combined interior and cargo volume of...
