All 350kW CCS chargers deployed by EA can do that. And more 350kW chargers will be deployed at all Porsche dealers.

I never said they did. But EA does.Have you visited a dealer lately... they don't have any 350kW chargers today

Curious...do those dealer's w/o those chargers....do they have any Taycans ready to be delivered? I'm thinking that maybe they'll get those chargers when they start getting some cars.Have you visited a dealer lately... they don't have any 350kW chargers today
As both vehicles have different range, instead of comparing time needed to reach a percentage (ie 5-80%), the more fair comparison should be how much time to add X amount of miles for both vehicles, that would give a better idea of real life use cases.

No Taycans ready for delivery in the Bay Area... I suspect that an additional dealer markup will be in play for early allocations.
Perhaps we should wait for the GT2 or RSR reservations?

So no real need for chargers if you aint got nothing to charge I'm thinking....No Taycans ready for delivery in the Bay Area... I suspect that an additional dealer markup will be in play for early allocations.

I checked out the Porsche configurator for the Taycan today. First time I ever tried their configurator.
I configured a Taycan Turbo S with almost every option to see what it topped out at. Answer: $230K USD
Besides this eye-popping price, two other things struck me:
1) Their configurator technology is crappy. Slow, buggy and unintuitive.
2) They have SO many options! I tried to check all the boxes to get a max optioned car...but there were so many choices (many of them conflicting with each other which triggered multiple rounds of 'in order to add X, you need to remove Y" dialog boxes)...I got tired and may have missed a box or two.
While on one hand, you can certainly order a Porsche that will be FAR more uniquely appointed (dozens and dozens of options) and customized than you can (or ever could) with a Tesla, I have come to appreciate the ordering process for a Tesla more now than I had before.
All of that said, I do wish Porsche the very best and if they can convince some died-in-the-wool Porsche fans to go electric, then more power to them. Hopefully will be more than a small niche product, but the pricing is more than I was expecting, so we'll see.
I don't believe very many people have actually driven the car so no one can comment on the taycan's real world driving performance.
He does own a p100d and these cars are full of tech so his thoughts are at least as relevant as yours are

Price is pretty reasonable for a Porsche.
Of course this is not going to be a mainstream vehicle. I don't think Porsche all of a sudden decided to make budget cars.
Taycan Turbo: $150,900
Panamera Turbo: $153,000
911 Turbo: $161,800
Taycan Turbo S: $185,000
Panamera Turbo S: $187,700
911 Turbo S: $190,700
And you don’t think a Tesla is? Look at how so many Tesla owners turn their noses up on anything or anyone who isn’t a Tesla owner.
5JMJ, wow... You are out of your mind if you think Tesla is considered elite / premium, especially when you compare it to a Porsche. Once all the other auto manufacturers start jumping into the game as Porsche has, your so called “Elitist” car will fall into the level of a high end Buick. Wake up, what makes the Tesla brand special now is that it is basically the only option for anyone who wants to enter the EV world. You try selling any Tesla at the Taycan’s price point and sales will plummet. There’s not a Tesla built today with the build quality of any Porsche. Besides, these vehicles were made for two totally different types of people. Elon is pushing these cars to become nothing more than a taxi, you get in and tell it where you want it to take you and it goes there. And if you read so many of the posts here on this site, a large percentage of the Tesla owners can’t wait until the car can drive itself. People that buy a Porsche buy it because they enjoy driving. Driving to them is a thrill and a pleasure whereas so many Tesla owners see driving as a necessary evil that keeps them from being able to keep up with their social media texts and tweets. Sure, at the moment Tesla’s cars may have a slight advantage in range and power but there is no way a Tesla will ever be able to out handle the Taycan. Did Tesla’s first iteration of EV car perform at its current level? No it didn’t, give Porsche a little time and I bet they match or surpass the performance level of any Tesla. Especially since they have several EV race cars to perfect performance, something they have always done and been known for.
Show us one Porsche that doesn’t handle as good or better than any vehicle in its class?

I guess you haven’t read all the threads in the forum where Tesla has promised this and Tesla has promised that. But in the end it’s the same thing, what is finally received is something totally different than what was expected. If I remember correctly, there’s a thread now where everyone is complaining because they had to pay for certain Tesla options but yet people who are receiving their vehicles now are getting those same options free when they didn’t pay for the upgrade. This happens with every manufacturer don’t kid yourself.
