But I guess that the Taycan has other downsides compared with Tesla
Besides the price, I can't think of any of these downsides.

I hope they keep the Model S look the way it does for as long as possible so it remains the iconic design it is.
Sort of like what Porsche did with the 911.
I don't understand the constant whining by some of "refreshing" the exterior design. IMHO the exterior design is perfect and timeless and I hope they keep it that way while making interior and technology changes, as they have been doing.
I love the understated look of the car without being needlessly in your face aggressive while at the same time having the power and technology to obliterate anything else.
Does anyone talk about how the Porsche 911 should get a facelift because it is such an "old" design. Of course not.
You should not mess with perfection.
Are you saying that a 2012 Model S has exactly the same safety systems, technology, range, suspension (improvements to handling), features as a 2020 Model S?911 is refreshed more often than the Model S - they just keep each refresh looking similar. In fact, it was JUST refreshed!
Model S needs a refresh like the 911 - new chassis, improvements to handling, safety, new tech Tesla has adopted since the current Model S was originally designed almost a decade ago. It doesn't have to look completely different and I agree it should look as close to the same as possible - but the Model S needs a refresh if only so it is up to par with newer Tesla tech.

I’m two years in and I still can’t stop looking at it. I wash it obsessively and it’s so shiny and beautiful.This is my dream car and I'm still a bit in disbelief that I actually have it. Every time I leave the building at work or walk down the steps from my apartment and see my car, I'm just amazed at how awesome this car looks.
Sounds like the new "Plaid" version.911 is refreshed more often than the Model S - they just keep each refresh looking similar. In fact, it was JUST refreshed!

The main reason (and this is not news to anyone) why Tesla hasn't done a complete from scratch upgrade is that its a new company and is trying to survive - hence the focus on more "affordable" and new tech cars such as the 3 and Y.No I'm not, but I did quote the person who made that silly claim and I recommend you chastise them for such a ridiculous statement. I'm stating the fact that every single Model S from every year it has ever been made share the same 1st Generation "Whitestar" chassis. Improvements tacked on of course, but unlike the 2020 Porsche 911 which shares nothing at all with a 2012 you can retrofit literally every part of a new Model S onto an original Model Sb if you're properly motivated because that's all Tesla has done with the Model S, constant small improvements to an unchanging base. Which is why the Model S still can't use modern tesla batteries and is stuck with the older style. If my car used the newer style batteries for the same capacity it would weigh hundreds of pounds less and have almost 2000 fewer cells.
I'd love Tesla to follow Porsche's lead and design a brand new car with every new technology they have in cheaper cars, but still obviously a Tesla Model S on the outside. A total refresh without a noticeable change in appearance. Like the 911.
i test drove the taycan S... the inside of the model S looks kinda old in comparison..i guess it is an 8 year old design
it's perfectly fine with me! I can't wait to see what they do when they do refresh, it should be amazing.The main reason (and this is not news to anyone) why Tesla hasn't done a complete from scratch upgrade is that its a new company and is trying to survive - hence the focus on more "affordable" and new tech cars such as the 3 and Y.
Having said that, other than the chassis and battery, pretty much the majority of the car isn't the same as the 2012 version, so that's fine with some and not with you - its not necessarily ideal I agree.
For the tens of thousands of dollars more that the Taycan S costs...I would HOPE the interior is many many levels above the Model S. lol
