I always thought the 2 speed transmission would be a good thing, just like battery drills are two speeds and would give better efficiency and range at higher speeds, I assumed the Tesla was single speed mainly for cost reasons.
The Taycan sounds like a "bargain" at £85K and I would pick one any day before a Model S (although they are very different cars), but the base car does not looks great as standard and even trying to keep extra's at a minimum it's not easy to keep it under 6 figures if you spec the larger battery and then your at almost twice the price of a 3 Performance which is quite hard to justify.
