I thought Tesla superchargers have faster charging speed? They have 150kW charging, is Porsche doing something better?
OP said Taycan is the new Model S, I think that your comment vs. mine highlights that this isn't true -- Taycan customers are not the same as Tesla customers. Tesla customers get a good bang for their buck -- speed, range, charging network at a cheap price. Porsche customers get brand, design, & build quality.
Someone who values what Porsche has to offer probably was never interested in a Tesla.
Meanwhile a Model 3 Performance -- the same speed as the Taycan -- costs $90,000 less.
- threeseed 7y agoPorsche Taycan can charge at up to 270kW and they are working on a software update to bump this up to 400-500kW. The Model 3 can charge at 250kW. And not sure why you are comparing the Model 3 to a Taycan as they are completely different segments.
- sockgrant 7y agoDo you have any comment on my assertion that Taycan is not a Model S replacement?
- jsight 7y agoPorsche has 250 kw, just like Tesla does on the LR Model 3. But supposedly Porsche will soon have 350 kw. The real metric is miles added per minute, though, and I haven't really seen an apples to apples comparison there.
