I thought this video was insightful as to the acceleration comparison of the Model 3P vs the Taycan 4S. Acceleration runs start at the 9:00 mark.
If you have a 4S and pull up to a Model 3 with red brake calipers who wants to explore the acceleration properties of their vehicle (I would NEVER street race in my en-route undelivered 4S), just know that they’ll probably take you off the line and stay ahead until you shift into second gear. Between this video, and of course the more viewed videos of the Model S Performance vs the Turbo S, it looks like the 2 gear transmission really sets the Taycan acceleration apart from the (current) EV competition at speed.
They also do a drift test and a slalom, however I think the abilities of the drivers could greatly influence how those tests turned out.
I know it’s been covered in the forum elsewhere how these cars target different markets, have different pros and cons, value propositions, etc...just thought I’d pass this along.
