The better test will be the Roadster 2.0 @ ~$250,000 vs the 10x more expensive Nevera. I am hoping (expecting?) the Roadster team at Tesla to have that as their benchmark.

RE: Alfa Romeo When you only sell a handful of cars a year you don't have as many being driven to fill out JD Power surveys or complain about! U.S. Q1 sales results reveal that Alfa Romeo managed to sell 2,390 vehicles in the first three months of the year compared to the 3,291 it sold in Q1...

I didn't ask any questions. Tesla chose to make the Model S taller! They don't need to "learn" how to make a shorter car from Porsche. Tesla didn't set out to make a sports car. They set out to make a practical EV that is slippery (for efficiency and range not performance) and happens to be...

What? I have no idea what you are talking about here. Not sure if you do either. Drag efficiency relates more to range and acceleration/efficiency at very high speed than it does 0-60 or any of the performance metrics that the Taycan and Model S are compared against. The 2 speed gear box makes...

It's called TV editing. They used the shots they wanted to, not the shots that showed each exact race. The numbers wouldn't be that close if they didn't use launch control and use Ludicrous mode. Also this is a quote from Brooks aka Mr. Drag Times himself: "from my experience the difference...

The best bit from the jalopnik link: Update, 4:45 p.m.: A Top Gear Magazine spokesperson reached out to Jalopnik to confirm that the latest video did in fact use the results of a previous test, claiming it was the fastest the magazine has ever recorded the car, with the 2017 Tesla outperforming...

The real world performance specs of the Porsche like wider tires, 2 speed gear box, top end/highway performance and consistent performance down to the very end of the battery mean that on any given day the Taycan Turbo S will win. The two are extremely close in 0-60 & 1/4 mile performance and...

Looks like they did it on an old runway. Not a prepared sticky drag strip. I can see the Model S with the narrower tires benefiting from that type of surface, but the old runway is more like real world conditions and I would think the Taycan would benefit from the drag strip surface as well no...

Tesla does have better battery tech. They design their unique batteries in house and control all aspects of it and give the vehicle access to 100% of the battery. They have more range than anyone else and so far the long term reports show that they batteries are holding up very well. The Model S...

SGO163E is a Taycan Turbo S:

The Tesla can't even make it into the final lane change and has to abort.

This really shows off the gearing advantage Porsche has with the 2 speed transmission. Illustrates the combination of Porsche using conservative performance figures (like they always do) and the mechanical gearing multiplier at both low and high speed acceleration. Taycan has slightly more...
