That's because it's Porsche. They aren't gonna half step when they bring a product to market because they know who their clientele is. They're not competing with Ford, GM or Toyota per se. They're on a higher caliber. The bigger companies are slow when it comes to innovation and I don't think there's going to be a drastic change just because it's now ev their transitioning to. I'm not saying that to tell anyone to continue buying Tesla stock, but don't think that just because other companies are jumping into the EV pool that it's not a reason to remain bullish on the company. Their advantages will generally remain their advantages because of their leadership and motivations. As you mentioned these other companies were forced to go this route, so their drive to innovate and improve isn't the same. They'll get to the point where they are able to mass produce a decent ev that they can sell to the general consumer then get stagnant, until they're forced to do something else. Right now it's an arms race to show how great they can make that first "Tesla Killer", so the energy is different.
Porsche is a great car company. But on paper Tesla got them beat easily.
Model S is 25% cheaper. (key importance. in some cases taycan is 30-35% more)
Model S long range has 420mile range. Taycan 4s has 200-227mile range.
Plaid will go 2 sec below 0-60 which will beat Taycan turbo S.
Plaid S will have 520 miles range which will basically 2X taycan's best range.
Model S has much more cargo space. almost twice bigger.
Tesla has much better charging network.
what's even more impressive is that Tesla improves their cars like how software companies improves their software. car companies take 2-3 years for a mid cycle refresh. Tesla improves their software every year and some.
Imagine what the Roadster would do to Taycan Turbo S. i mean it's silly because Model S was never meant to be a performance oriented Sedan. It's simply a midsized sedan that is super fast because it's EV.
for Porsche to make something similar to Roadster it would have to be $400k+ exotic. and i'm sure porsche is already developing that supercar.
