EDMUNDS SAYS:
These two luxury EVs are very closely matched. The Tesla Model S offers more range and features for less money, while the Porsche Taycan counters with more refinement and driver engagement. From Edmunds’ standpoint, the Taycan squeaks out a slight win here.
Software tech : advantage TeslaA tie for technology?
Software tech : advantage Tesla
Mechanical tech : advantage Porsche
Combined : tie
No?
yeah - I'd humbly suggest porsche loses this one - but Edmunds not had to live with it - on paper Porsche looks to be a tie, but in reality they are more than a bit behind.A tie for technology?
Agree.The article describes driving aids and software tech (like carplay) in the Technology section, not mechanical. So I think Tesla is a clear winner there.
Mechanically Taycan is a clear winner, but that probably falls under the Driving Experience.
Tesla wins on charging infrastructure. Not to kick the hornets nest, but if the charging reliability on EA is solved and they continue to expand, Porsche arguably wins charging with the 800V pack.the article ignores the differences in charging abilities.
tesla is the clear winner on that front
Very much so!Edit: obviously a US centric view, although I suspect Tesla has a leg up in almost all parts of the world right now.
hey, at least I called out my own bias?Very much so!
In EU the public charging network is already pretty strong and in China the SCN is irrelevant. My old MS90D can now only charge with an adapter even on the SCN. We pay usually between 1 RMB and 1.6 RMB per kWh (15 to 25 cent) on public fast chargers...
Not IONITY in Germany but a south western grid company. There was even a Taycan waiting for a free spot. EA users are lucky, they have always free chargers!
