This article [0] talks about the acceleration performance of the latest Model S P100D variant at different states of battery charge. Bottom line is that unless the battery is under 10% it is faster than the Taycan.
All the stories about the S "overheating" seem to be talking about the older model or this article [1] about how a heavily modified S over heated at a race track. Porsche has to emphasize reputability because it's all they got. I mean they designed an electric sports car that is getting beat by Tesla's family sedan.
There is also the issue of how long the car can maintain it's top speed w/o overheating but I'm not sure Porsche is making any claims about that here and that's an issue with any car gas or electric.
