OP said Taycan is the new Model S, I think that your comment vs. mine highlights that this isn't true -- Taycan customers are not the same as Tesla customers. Tesla customers get a good bang for their buck -- speed, range, charging network at a cheap price. Porsche customers get brand, design, & build quality.
Someone who values what Porsche has to offer probably was never interested in a Tesla.
Meanwhile a Model 3 Performance -- the same speed as the Taycan -- costs $90,000 less.
And not sure why you are comparing the Model 3 to a Taycan as they are completely different segments.
The real metric is miles added per minute, though, and I haven't really seen an apples to apples comparison there.
Younger demographics have less disposal income so they are hardly the type of customer you want to be betting on.
Yes, its way better.
> design
Yes.
> interior fit
I much rather have the interior of a Tesla. I car much more about the cool features then complaining about a slight overlap of two plastic panals that are under the seat, or whatever car german fetishits obsess about.
> charging speed
They have a small advantage on a tiny number of actual charging stations but the majority of the time your gone charge much slower.
Currently Tesla's valuation is higher than both BMW and Mercedes. No doubt, they're enjoying rich multiple due to other forward-looking business units, but they're not generating any money. Their car business is what's keeping the light on.
On long term, Tesla's car business is uncertain. The first-mover advantage is eroding quickly as legacy mfrs are stepping up.
It's an extremely competitive business. And with $45k model flooding the market, the novelty factor of the brand is going to wear off very quickly.
Look at the new Porsche Taycan. To me, that's the new Model S.
