Ever since I knew what a car was I have loved Porsche. Back in high school I bought a used 914 that was in boxes and reassembled it over the next 2 years. The highlight of my early days was getting to drive a 911 at the track.
Several years ago I visited a Porsche dealer and looked around. I left extremenly sad and disappointed. The cars were cramped and full of pedestrian doo-dads and I hated every single one of them. On top of that, the Porsche salespeople didn't even look my way.
I left that dealership and went down the street to the Tesla showroom and my life changed. They were friendly and happy to see me. They took me around the car and showed me everything. I got to rode test a P100D and was able to drive the car while the Tesla guy showed me how to do a high-speed launch and how to change the steering response while driving. It was, and still is, the best car "dealer" experience I'd had ever had!
While the Porsche Taycan is cool and it's really the only Porsche that even remotely piques my interest, it can't really compete with the Tesla. I guess I'm getting old.
