For the better part of a decade, the Tesla Model S has been living a blissful, competition-free existence as the only premium electric vehicle on the market. That’s about to change—fast
, the Taycan is a cross between Porsche’s Panamera and legendary 911. In other words, it’s a true luxury sedan that’s electric. a turbo, of course—the concept doesn’t work in the electrified realm. So why use the moniker? Probably to appeal to the classic Porsche customer, who expects performance from the iconic German automaker. Either way, the car has a comfortable ride, plenty of high-tech bells and whistles, and power for days. All the features you’d expect from a Porsche.
But the most telling comparison is that Tesla has had seven years to perfect its machine, while Porsche has not logged a single after-sale mile.The Model S and the Taycan are practically the same size. The only real difference is cargo capacity. Thanks to its hatchback design, the Model S has 26.3 cubic feet of rear cargo space compared to the Taycan’s 12.9 cubic feet. The Porsche does have a bigger front trunk, though, with 2.8 cubic feet of space compared to 2.
Porsche was not able to verify the Taycan’s range following the more stringent EPA standard used in the United States. It has been confirmed in Europe using its WLTP standard. As such, Porsche is touting a range of 256 WLTP-estimated miles for the Taycan Turbo S. That’s more than 100 miles shy of Tesla’s WLTP-estimated 365-mile range for the Model S Performance.Anyone who familiar with Tesla knows that over-the-air software updates are among the company's biggest strengths.
Porsche’s answer to Tesla Superchargers is Electrify America, a new third-party charging network capable of charging many different brand EVs. Taycans faster than Superchargers can charge Teslas. EA’s current infrastructure is not quite as large as Tesla’s, but it is growing quickly.
