Porsche Taycan vs. Tesla Model S

Porsche Taycan vs. Tesla Model S

Performance

• When it comes to luxury EVs like the Porsche Taycan and the Tesla Model S, you must consider range numbers flexibly. The new Taycan 4S is officially rated to deliver 203 miles of range, although there are others who have suggested the range could be as high as 300 miles. The Model S has achieved a higher range over the years, but it's worth considering how often your trips will exceed 200 miles.
• Charging for both vehicles can easily be done at home. The Taycan uses a 220V system at home, taking anywhere from 9.5 to 10.5 hours to charge. If you upgrade your charging system or use a 440V charger while you're on the go, charging time allows you to reach near a full charge in around 1.5 hours. Using a 220V charger at home will charge the Model S in 12 hours, with slightly under 1.5 hours of charging time using a 440V charger.
• Both vehicles offer impressive acceleration and top speed numbers. The base Taycan model can reach a top speed of 155 mph, as can the new Model S base model, but that's the top speed for all Tesla models. The new Taycan Turbo S models pack in 750-horsepower and can reach up to 161 mph, with a 0-60 mph time of just 2.6 seconds.

Interior and Technology

• Both the Porsche Taycan and the Tesla Model S feature a large touchscreen display for you to control various features while you're on the go. However, in the Model S, the touchscreen controls all function, while the Taycan gives you easier control and access through traditional buttons and knobs, giving you select control of the features you want without having to access menus and settings.
• The new Taycan also offers standard Apple CarPlay, allowing you to enjoy seamless integration of your compatible smartphone device. Tesla does not integrate Apple CarPlay.
