Porsche is promoting that driving their new car will be lots of fun. Tesla is moving more to advancing the self driving technology.
People that want to go screeming around corners in the mountains or on the track, will be interested in the Taycan. Kind of a boy racer thing.
Tesla is not promoting the S or 3 as being the quickest around corners. It is more personal transportation than race car.They are providing more of a mainstream driving experience with fun when you want it and autopilot for when you are not on roads where agressive driving is desired. Rush hour traffic or long drives down the highway are where Autopilot will be best valued.
Kind of think of Porsche doing what they do best. Giving an outlet for owners that want to drive aggressively. Great balanced handling a firmer ride and the Ego boost from owning a car capable of going on the track.
Basically what they are presenting is an EV with additional cooling to enable fast driving for longer periods. They will pick their races. Of course endurance racing (Where Porsche normaily does pretty well) will be horrible for the Taycan, as it carries a relatively small battery with severly limited endurance at speed). It will mostly be a show pony for under 30 minute sprints.
This Taycan will be fun, but when the New Roadster comes out, it definitely will take it's place lower down the totem pole
Do you guys read the EV news sites/magazines/papers or watch YouTube videos - Tesla's are wiping the track all over the world- there are 100's of YouTube videos for your eyes to see for yourself. And Tesla doesnt promote their cars at ALL!! Model 3Performance can do ANYTHING Taycan can do for half the price- YouTube!
