If you can afford Porsche the Taycan is leagues beyond anything that Tesla offers from a quality and driving dynamics standpoint. The Taycan uses the 992 911's (latest generation) steering rack and it really shows. It provides lots of feedback and feels very precise and responsive. It feels like Porsche, it's not numb and toned down just because it's an EV. They're also working on an electric Cayenne.

Sure these are fine cars, but the "7 seater" is actually significant to me. I don't think even Cayenne does that, despite being larger. And being large is a significant disadvantage where I live.

The Taycan lacks even a volume knob. And the range is significantly less. They do look gorgeous however.
