Car And Driver Pits Porsche Taycan Turbo S Vs. Tesla Model S Raven

They loved the Taycan; but is it good enough to dethrone the Model S?

Car And Driver recently completed the electric vehicle comparison test that many have been looking forward to seeing; the Porsche Taycan Turbo S versus the Tesla Model S Raven.

Ever since Tesla introduced the Model S in 2012, there really hasn’t been an electric car that anyone could claim to be as good as the Model S, let alone better, with a straight face. It may have taken nearly a decade, but that has changed. The Porsche Taycan is an excellent electric car, and I should know, I’ve driven a few of them nearly 1,000 combined miles already. 

I was recently asked on a podcast if I thought the Taycan was better than a Model S. My answer, though not exactly direct, was that if the price was no issue, I would indeed take a Taycan Turbo S over any currently-available electric car, including a Model S. Now let’s examine if Car and Driver agrees.
