ok, today is the day...... I have to give the Central VA delivery center major props. I am leaving for a week tonight, car came in at 11 this morning and they are squeezing me in this afternoon for delivery. Didn't have to, they seemed either to sympathize with the wait we have had, or wanted to be rid of me. Don't care which one. SOO, i did search, is there a current Refresh or Prior checklist to go over at delivery? I could find the 3/Y, but not the S.

Fingers crossed both of ours are, along with the remaining 2020 folk. I‘ll believe I’m getting a car when my buns are being cooled by the ventilated seats.

Interesting. And RED as well! I hope it comes sooner rather than never.

Exactly! Above 110 mph, I would not be surprised in the least if the LR pulled on the Turbo S. Actually, I can say pretty much without a doubt that above those speeds, the LR WILL pull on the Porsche. The Taycan has less power, is 600 pounds heavier, and doesn't hold power nearly as well.

Let's see them pics! How much are you asking for if you don't mind me asking? You can DM me if you prefer. Thanks!

Taycan is a good-looking car. I'm glad it exists. Would we have Plaid if it didn't?

Not this soon. It still would be a while off if Porsche hadn't come around. It is so awesome that we as consumers get to benefit from this competition.

Totally agree. Take a look at this simulation. Taycan turbo s wins from a standstill but not from a rolling 50mph start.

I was on MM, and I saw that also! The LR just holds that HP man!

2021 Model S Plaid
A few reasons. 1. Main reason is unfortunately my parents are sick and may have to move them from back home New York so currently shopping for a bigger house so cutting back a little on the toys. 2nd I had ordered a S Performance and got the whole switch to a plaid deal then the major delays so I went with the Taycan. So now I reordered the Plaid with a EDD of July 31 - August 8th as of this morning and hope to get it soon so the Taycan must go. In all honesty I really liked the Taycan and if I didn’t have to get a bigger house I would have kept it until the Plaid received the newer longer range batteries but hey family first so yea.

Taycan Turbo S gets murdered. That's not even close. That's good - Porsche will need to up the ante here, as the Plaid is in another league in this regard.

Am I correct in thinking that a MSLR would be a match for the Taycan?
I don't think so...the taycan is over a half second faster than the MSLR... that's not very close in drag racing. The Taycan 60 fts a lot better too.

I'd like to see that race happen. Brakes might be the determining factor, though, given the brake options on the Taycan, one would suspect. But lateral grip the Plaid with 21s has more of it...

The problem is, that even if they did, it would end up being like $350,000, just to match the Plaid's performance. Porsche is pretty much out of the game at this point. The Plaid's next competition will be the Lucid Air Tri Motor (still like 180k+), which will just prompt Tesla to launch the SW update that puts the Plaid into the 8s.
