Contemplating coming over from Model 3 - advice needed

[tomtom901]

Took me a while, saved some more money and once the GTS ST dropped, I knew, this body style would be the one. Locked in a carmine red RDW ST this week at the dealers. Leaving the Tesla behind with very good trade-in value and some nice discounts.

this thread started a while ago, but.i made the same switch last week, from a performance model 3 to a RWD Taycan. the Porsche is such a better experience.... even if the software isn't up to par with Tesla.

Wow M3P to RWD.
You test rode the RWD before finalising, right ?

I went that way also, don’t miss the T car in anyway, still have 6 in my company fleet for my staff and when I have to jump back in one the yawning gap between the cars is evident.

Yes, multiple times. Not a problem at all. Love, love, the customized look of my Taycan 100 times more than the speed of the M3P.

I am a few months into CT4S ownership after coming from a Model 3 SR+.

I absolutely love the way I specced the car, it's great to be able to customise a car to this extent. Additional luxuries like massaging seats, rear wheel steering and Burmester sound are very impressive, especially to friends/family who sit in the car for the first time.

But the quirks/annoyances gradually built up and my whole family (especially the kids) began to miss the Tesla. It was a trivial decision to order a new 3LR and the Taycan will leave as soon as it arrives.

The Taycan is an amazing car, make no doubt; however the Tesla is the car I enjoyed living with more.

My Tesla experience (twice) was ok but the quality and lack of service support kills it after the honeymoon period. Porsche is Porsche. Always been a Porsche family and I'll take Taycan over another Tesla without question. No annoyances with my '21 and the Porsche DNA and heritage really shines.

Tesla is great for the masses looking for an appliance. For the few of us, there is no substitute.

Honestly, can't fault my Tesla, been pretty solid so far, however, I discovered that for me a car needs to be more special than the genericness of the Model 3.

Admittedly what we want from our family car is exactly that; an appliance. Also my perspective is slightly skewed as I have a track car that handles so well that it makes the Taycan and Model 3 indistinguishable at the speeds it is normally driven.

On my last long trip I saw 20 Model 3s over the distance of 45km! It's becoming the de facto generic electric car and during my Taycan honeymoon period it was indeed nice to feel a bit more 'special'. It's the best looking car on the road and I suspect will give you everything you're after.

Bump, been about 1,5 years since I started this thread and began dreaming about the Taycan (actually been dreaming about it since launch, but this is when things started to get serious).

Collection day is in 1 week!
