Looks very nice, but expensive.

For the Turbo S version nearly fully equipped I think I saw over $200...

It's pretty but.........too many screens, and I can see it now with that charge port door and the issues from that design. Not to mention the price.
But that's before tax and fuel savings!!!!
Um ok but you can have the turbo non-s for 150k or 158k nicely equipped. How much did a P100D cost before all the reductions last year? 160?

Interesting comparison chart.

When I was initially doing my due diligence which lead to a model s purchase, the Porsche EV was in consideration because preliminary price was around that of the model s (~$90k). They sure missed the target on that!!!
Hopefully the Taycan does well for the sake of EV proliferation, but today's reveal just made my non-existent buyers remorse even "less existant".

Interesting that they list the charging as 270kW but it only comes with 50kW charging with a $460 option to upgrade to 150kW charging. (But maybe 280kW is at 800 volt locations and 50/150kW charging is at 400 volt locations.)
Wow what a failure (the car itself, and the spelling in the thread title).
Ugly, inefficient, and expensive.

sorry about the misspelling but for some strange reason I could not go back in and edit the the title. If the admin can do that, please do.

weird that they call it a turbo but i suppose whatever. I do like it; am certainly not going to rush to the showroom to trade in the Model S but I certainly won't criticise anyone for buying this over a Model S - and of course best case scenario is they purchase this over any ICE vehicle out there.

At $150K, I think their market will be existing ICE Porsche owners who love the brand as much as us Tesla owners.
One thing I noticed is that the weight of 5000+ lbs... doesn't that mean it qualifies for the Hummer Tax Credit alongside the EV Tax Credit plus whatever State Rebate and then your Power Company Rebate...

I want to know who came up with....Turbo and Turbo S...what's next, Honda EVs will have V-TECH sticker on the side 
IMO this is way overpriced and AP nowhere close to Tesla.

We know that doesn't matter. When the Taycan is actually out is when we will know actual prevailing price and comparisons.
We know the S is getting better and better each year. Will Porsche over-deliver to beat the current S and what Tesla might come out with?
Doubtful.
You have to conceivably use the vehicle as an SUV for the "Hummer deduction". There is Section 179 for Passenger vehicles but less deductions than a vehicle with a GVWR of 6000+. Playing with fire unless you discuss with CPA. You can put whatever you want on your return, it's a matter if the IRS agrees in the event of an audit.

Wait... Taycan? Isn't that the Tesla killer that's coming out? I thought so but then, when I see the #'s, my only guess is that I'm wrong and this was the predecessor to the Tesla killer and it's still on it's way.
