I also believe that Porsche is leaving power (low end specifically) on the table with the RWD and 4S models. Here is a post I made when I first ordereda RWD (and later switched it to a 4S.)

Not taking away from the discussion of the benefits of improved range here. The one comment I’ll make is that at high temps, my Taycan 4S did not struggle a whole lot with range during this past, hot AZ summer, including a couple of road trips to Las Vegas and Flagstaff. Of course I’d hear the...

Curious, where did you find the $230K number?

When it comes to marketing bullet points it looks like SiC may now be one of them used across different manufacturers as both Porsche and Lucid have confirmed their use in their respective products...

https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/comparison-test/a36467969/2020-porsche-taycan-4s-vs-2020-tesla-model-s-long-range-plus/ Another Tesla vs Taycan review with no big surprises from what’s been presented in the past. A couple of test methods I wonder about as it relates to the Taycan include...

Acknowledging that the driver is a huge variable, the progressive increase in successive lap times is what’s somewhat surprising. I know part of what makes for more repeatable (acceleration) performance on the Taycan’s are the dual permanent magnet motors. Model 3’s use a permanent magnet...

https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-model-3-dominates-porsche-taycan-racetrack/ I certainly have respect for what Tesla has done for bringing EV’s into the mainstream, providing a great value for price, etc. and give credit where credit is due. Despite the positive feedback I give to Tesla’s, I’ve...

So another “feature” of the Taycan that I have mixed feelings about is the repeatability of the acceleration. So I say mixed feelings because it’s fantastic that Taycans will do 0-60, quarter mile, etc with minimal variability in times regardless of the state of battery charge (at least I...

I thought this video was insightful as to the acceleration comparison of the Model 3P vs the Taycan 4S. Acceleration runs start at the 9:00 mark. If you have a 4S and pull up to a Model 3 with red brake calipers who wants to explore the acceleration properties of their vehicle (I would NEVER...
