Definitely. As I mentioned, the Porsche has some advantages in design, road feel, fit and finish. But at double the price, you have to be rich and/or a dedicated Porsche fan to pay 2X, to trade those Porsche advantages for Tesla's lower cost, higher range, and added practicality. The most important part is that Porsche has shown that they are truly committed to building performance EVs, and it is very impressive that they have come out with such a competent high performance EV with their first attempt. It is equally important that the Taycan Turbo S is now one of the quickest Porsches ever built, and it can run competitively against other impressive traditional European performance cars that run off gasoline. With regard to Tesla, their Plaid Model S and X are due out later this year, with even better performance than before, and possibly 400-500 miles of EV range to revisit the super-EV performance competition. Also possibly coming out later this year will be the new Tesla Roadster which will reset all the high scores and past automotive performance records, with a sub-2 sec 0-60 and sub 9 sec 1/4 mile capability. I think that Porsche will next be releasing their Macan EV soon as well, which should be a worthy challenger to the Model Y Performance coming out next month.
