Depends on where you are I suppose, I was shocked to see that the Taycan here in Canada was "only" $140,000 for a mid-optioned 4S. A Model S starts around $100k, so the difference is there, but not as massive percentage wise. Comparing the price difference between say a 911 4S and the new Camaro, there is a bigger gap percentage wise.
Yup - Australia is a bizarre place where Porsche adds a HUGE premium, the Government adds an extra tax on expensive cars as well. So a Taycan Turbo S with ZERO options is 366K AUD. Mildly optioned-up, it's well over 400K. Put everything on it, it's well well over 500!! A FULLY optioned Model S Dual Motor Performance is 183K!
Damn, Aus really does have some crazy prices. I remember being there and some things just cost so much more than north America, even with the exchange rate. Especially gasoline. Also, I forgot my province recently added a luxury car tax of up to 25%, which hits the Taycan hard. That being said, I'm gonna switch my license in for one from a neighboring province that doesn't have such a brutal tax (and also much more reasonable insurance).
I saw this the other day but don't understand what the point was other than bad marketing. Couldn't every 250hp+ RWD ICE or EV drift endlessly in a controlled wet environment like that until fuel source depletes?
‘Why did it take nine hours to go 130 miles in our new electric Porsche?’ Superchargers are a significant competitive advantage
I read this this morning. Of course we can't compare any charging network to our Tesla but this couple didn't fully charge their Taycan before going.
