- An in-depth, real world comparison and test drive of the Porsche Taycan Turbo S and the Tesla Model S Plaid. Interior, exterior, performance, driving experience, tech-we cover everything you need to know.
Is Tesla’s underwhelming build quality (fit and finish, paint, etc) a myth or does Porsche truly make the best high-end EV in the current market?

I’d take the taycan every day. I know there are a lot tesla fanboys in the comments here and I have to agree that the Tesla does some things better but for their first car Porsche has done a great job.
I think everyone has their reasons to buy or not buy a car. It doesn’t matter what other people think about or value the car, because you are buying a car for yourself and your family not some random person. Whatever fits your needs(look, features, price, range and etc.) is the best car.
Exactly and for my requirement and lifestyle, Tesla Model 3 Performance is the best. I also run an old 997 Porsche as well. So, it is a perfect combo for me. Haters don't understand.
I have owned a Taycan Turbo S for a year and now I’m driving the MS Plaid. The Porsche has definitely the better build quality and is the best looking car. However the Plaid is much, much, much quicker and has the best functionality and charging network.
How often do you actually use all that power tho? I mean anything below 4 seconds is just nuts to me and I dont think I do be driving it thinking even once that I do need an extra second less to 60 😂 Now the Porsche is the same price in my country. Like for 125k you get a none plaid Model S (115k for the Model S and 10k for options) with some options and for 125k you get a Taycan with some options too (either a 93k Taycan with 5 seconds 0-60 with 32k options or a 113k Taycan 3,9 seconds 0-60 with 12k options).
I think ill get the basic Taycan with about 20k worth of options over the S. Its still extremely fast and I barely drive more than 100 miles a day so don't really need the network either. Maybe once a year we drive to France but thats 600 miles only.
@@maxjames00077 Thanks for a great answer! 👍
Well, I remember one of my first cars back in the 90ies, a BMW Z3. It looked fast but was very slow with only a 1,8L engine. I know it wasn’t worth trying racing from the red lights with anybody. It will probably be the same with the basic Taycan. But you’ll get the best looking car!
The acceleration is something you ger used to I’m afraid. My wife has a Tesla Model 3 LR, 4,4secs on the specs and it feels really slow to me compared to the S Plaid.
My last Taycan the Turbo S is one of the best cars I’ve ever owned. And I will probably buy one again later on. But it’s a very expensive car and the taxes on the car is extremely high to have it on my company.
What colour do you want on the Taycan?
Ive been driving a Model S from new since 2014 now 137,000 uk miles and at the time my P85 RWD was the only performance EV around, Pearl white, black 19" alloys, carbon rear spolier, red calipers and black sunroof delete carbon roof, cream interior and Alcantera roof lining. Its still a relavant 0-60 4 seconds car that most people even think its a Plaid. OK so Tesla got it right straight out the gate 12 years ago and apart from the front end change is the same profile sleeper, that and the software is now totally different, far better and many more features. Im not even an iPad fan but Teslas OTA updates are staggering, and the service suppport for now whats termed "classic" Teslas has been superb. Next car? I bought the Tesla because of many factors but number 1 was the charging infrastructure so next car will be a Roadster thats been on order since launch paid for by Tesla shares......Thanks Elon and Team.
Does tbe Porche have auto pilot feature? Also what about the range and
Noor: Tesla is boring
Also Noor two seconds later: /laughs uncontrollably at the Tesla speed
And that’s to say nothing about how it’s so obvious she’s biased, and some of her points are just straight up untrue.
It's a Porsche Taycan't compared to a Plaid.. lol
Can't beat it in performance, range, efficiency, tech, charging network and price.
Charging network? Not an issue here in Europe. Performance? Defined as what? Straight line accelleration only? The Taycan beats the Tesla S at everything else. Oh, and bult quality....
@@mbasir tesla beat the taycan on the track
@@cossieboy What track? Drag strip?
@@mbasir Nürburgring Race Track
@@cossieboy Not with a standard Tesla, but a highly midified, unlike the Taycan, that was standard.
The price difference is crazy. Plaid is 130K, and the Taycan Turbo S with similar options and after dealer markups, will be around 100k more than the plaid. Tesla obviously makes a better daily EV with more range, more space, better tech, Supercharging network, etc. The only time you will see a difference with the Turbo S is on the track or on a very tight mountain road driving like a mad man. But with 100K more,,, i would get the Plaid and then with the extra 100k, pick up a used base 911 or a fully equipped Cayman for the fun stuff. So for the same price,, do you want a Plaid and a Cayman or do you want just a Taycan Turbo S ?
In my country the Porsche starts at 90k and the Model S at 115k.
@@maxjames00077 But the base Porsche has nothing in it, it wouldnt compare to the Model S long range. The base Taycan 0-60 is 5.1 / 375 hp / Rear wheel drive / Range is mid 200 miles. The Base Model S is 0-60 in 3.2 seconds / range is 400 miles and its all wheel drive. Porsche always kills you on options. Porsche is obviously the better handling car, but its crazy, even seat heating and rear view camera is an option !
@@TOMMYBOY6969 well you can get the Taycan 4s for 115k instead of 93k which is the same as the Model S. It has 530bhp and does 0-60 in 3,9 seconds. But I wouldnt tbh. 5 seconds is more than quick enough (5 seconds legit faster than some older Lamborghinis or Ferraris, and beats almost every none electric car around that price point). Then you have 22k left for options. Besides, the Tesla doesnt come standard with most things the Porsche doesn't come with (and Tesla doesn't even give you the option to add these things at all). I guess its personal what you would prefer but I just wanted to point out that if you have lets say 125k to spend you can get a Tesla model S none plaid with autopilot and cool wheels/color or the basic Taycan with 32k worth of options. I do go for the Taycan all day. But tbh I'm not that into very fast cars. If I won a lottery I rather buy a rolls royce cruising it instead of a Lamborghini and cars like that
@@maxjames00077 Yeah, that sounds comparable. I like to see how it will work in North America, Tesla is opening up Supercharging stations for other non Tesla EVs. Also, there are still lots of Bugs in the Taycan's operating flat screen menus. I saw a CZcamsr returning a 1 year old Taycan because the car's flat screen functions had way too many bugs, and after a year of some buttons not working, it was still not fixed. So he had enough and sold it back to Porsche. Its just when you pay over 125 K for a car, you want at least all the buttons and functions to work properly. I think the next gen of Taycan would be much better.
@@TOMMYBOY6969 i saw that dude. Horrible indeed! The video i watched was a 2021 video tho so no idea whether they fixed it by now but yeah some of these infotainment in perfect otherwise German cars are so bad its a joke. On the other hand, Tesla's build quality and finishing is nowhere near the level of a 125k car either. I guess you have to see whats most important for you personally. Many say they don't car for the build quality bc they car for other things in the tesla. What I hate about both is physical buttons missing to increase volume of radio or thr heating. In the end you always have to make some sacrifice with 1 car compared to the other (in the same price category). Btw even rolls royce with their 500k cars have had horrible infotainment systems. Like super super bad (they might have fixed it by now but for years it was a joke for a car worth 500k)
I think you guys were definitely being bluntly bias but hey it’s your channel
traditional car guys will always hate Tesla, nothing unexpected. tech people will usually prefer Tesla, gear heads will usually prefer the Porsche.
I'm curious to know what you think they are supposed to say? Cars, food, music, etc are subjective. What would you have liked them to say?
i mean no sh**, he brought a current porsche/audi dealer out to drive and test with him lol
@@slimconfucius A Tesla is a collection of gadgets on 4 wheels, not a car.
@@mbasir yeah let’s change the definition of what “car” means to suit your narrative.
By any definition, a Tesla is a car. Just because it has “gadgets” does not mean it is not. Hell, a Taycan and a 20 year old Toyota Camry also has gadgets… are they not cars?
Humans are weird creatures. We’re so primal and tribalistic. Anything that is foreign to us or our subjective sensibilities must be wrong or mustn’t fit… just think about that next time.
I think you left out a few huge factors which lean heavily in favor of the Tesla:
Range, Price and the Tesla charging network.
I agree the Porsche looks better but I’d still go plaid with more range and I’d save $60k-$70k. An optioned Taycan Turbo S is well over $200k. For potential EV buyers, the superchargers make ownership seamless.
Thats what I said too. The guy is obviously doing a biased review trying to only promote the Porsche, while down playing the Tesla.
For all that money that you’re saving, you can slightly customize the look of a Tesla and make it look even better. I did it to mine, I will post a video on it. I think it looks MEAN!!! Also being an avid auto pilot user, nothing is going to be that technology. Tesla is so far ahead it’s not going to be close for a while.
@@Crakmonkey691 don't cry bud
Triggered Fanboys. You would have to be a Moron to not choose the Porsche.
@@maxo4067 nice argument buddy 👍 really intellectual
While I agree that Porsche does certain things better then the Model S.....there were some seriously incorrect statements. Every time there is an update your settings don't change. The location of things also do not change. Not sure why she said that but many of her comments were off. These are very different approaches to a 4 door EV sedan. They are also drastically different price tags. The Porsche feels like a more expensive car because it IS a more expensive car and massively so. If you want a new Taycan Turbo S you are paying almost 100k more. That is insane. You are correct when you say the Tesla is more of a technology learning curve. That is true. I also agree that it should have a normal wheel and stalk setup. The yoke complicated things that didn't need complication. Totally agree there. When she talks about body roll and such I had to laugh because both cars have modes that will allow that. The track mode on the Plaid makes it feel extremely agile while normal comfort mode is going to have more give which is obvious. The way she says Tesla engineers just made the car go fast dramatically undersells and mischaracterizes the car. In fact the Plaid is faster around the track then the Taycan. In a straight line obviously it isn't even close. UI and UX Tesla absolutely dominates the Taycan. The Porsche does a ton of things very well as does the Tesla but this video was a very low quality review of what those things are and in fact missed the mark entirely. The bottom line is Tesla is the undisputed king as it stands. The Plaid is the fastest, it is the most cost effective, it is the most practical, it has the most infrastructural support, it has the most advanced automotive computer and self driving tech. All competitors currently cost far more, have a lesser charging network, are slower and have less advanced technology. That isn't to say that the competition for the Plaid isn't brilliant because it is. I am just waiting for the tri motor version of the Porsche to come out because that will be killer. The problem is Tesla has yet to put the 4680 cells in the Plaid and boy when they do........How awesome are these cars though? All really cool examples of engineering goals and visions by very different teams who all make equally cool products.
Well, no. You might not have heard of this but Porsche went back and beat teslas time on the ring. Also I get the driving experience, because the Porsche feels like an actual sports car, while the tesla is more of a family car that happens to have 1000hp. Driving is Porsche 100%. But this comes to the detriment of range and space, where the tesla wins out
This whole channel is so low quality he doesn’t even research the cars before doing reviews and it shows
You are right and if you spec a Porsche with the same feature as the Tesla you will end up paying 2x the Tesla. Also when I read this the track package are available to the Tesla which solve all the problems they bring except the difference in quality, that is the only part Porsche wins IMO. Also the Tesla took back the record around the ring.
I think a lot of what the Tesla brings is innovative - I agree they remove things that weren't asked to be removed, but it's cleaner & higher tech and that's inevitably what everything is leaning towards, be it smartphones, cars, home security systems or whatever.
You left out the storage hatch in the floor of the trunk in the Model S, which initially also had a 7 seater version, in fact Elon Musk drove one of those prototype 7 seaters so his whole family could fit.
The Supercharger charging network is also a massive plus, not to mention voice commands "navigate to x" or "play y by z" etc.
I think the appearance of the Porsche is incredible, it's a beautiful car, and you're right, the options are there between the sporty appearance of the Porsche vs the more daily driver, blend in appearance of the Tesla.
The body roll in the Tesla is to be expected from a family saloon, the Porsche is not a family style saloon.
You've lost me on the controls, I have driven many different cars & vans and you always have to take time to get used to the controls.
I feel like maybe you're almost offended by how different the Tesla actually is, as I was when I started driving my Model 3 which is far more traditional compared to the new S and X, but these things just take an extra bit of time to get used to - I also have yet to get used to the new UI, as I was only just finished getting used to the old one.
The yoke I agree is a little gimmicky, I don't want it, I like a traditional wheel, I think it's mad that they even got the allowance to ship it without the ability to swap it out for a wheel.
I think the fact that it's able to go rudely fast as well as being a comfortable family car is laudable.
The range is way better, the price is way lower, meh, just my preference but I feel like you're fairly biased toward long-established automakers in general.
Just my opinion.
I got my Plaid last August, by now I like the yoke, prefer it. Not at all a gimmick,
@@izsakitt3711 like I said, takes a while to get used to new controls, I'm sure I'd end up being used to the yoke if I used it for long enough. I'm mega jealous to be honest, hope it's treating you well. I live in the countryside and work in agritech, so being able to drive offroad in my daily driver would be nice, hence I'm hoping by the time it's available I'll be able to get a Cybertruck...
Tesla is an amazing company, I like the way they do things.
Tesla has a much better "ecosystem", especially with their supercharger network. They have a vastly superior business strategy and overall offering for EVs. It's faster too - if that's your thing. The range has proven to be pretty similar with comparable wheels - tires. Porsche have their customer base, this vehicle is targeted towards them. It would be very difficult for that target group who have become accustomed to certain level of options, quality, handling, seating position etc etc offered by the porsche that tesla just can't match to even consider the tesla.
didn't tesla say they would allow other ev's to use the superchargers
Well again, this guy is a car guy and not a tech guy like other tesla owners. The Porsche driving experience is way better than any tesla, and it’s an actual sports car, and the tesla is more a family car that just happens to have 1000 hp
I have had both a Plaid and now a 22’ Taycan GTS which is not nearly as fast as the Turbo S tested here but very similar in all other regards. I think this is a fair assessment of the 2 cars, however I think the interior quality of the tesla isn’t as bad as many make it out to be. I also had a Model 3 Performance a few years ago and that was horrendous. The Taycan just feels higher quality and is actually a lot of fun to drive for an EV. The Tesla Plaid’s dynamics were better than I thought they’d be but the car is fast in a way that is utterly useless and honestly uncomfortable. After a week of driving it that party trick gets old and I think most people will be happier owning/driving the Taycan
Great points but my biggest gripe is the breaks I mean, why?
@@sexpistill tesla has an upgraded brakes option.
@@seanz6586 should also have upgraded suspension. Though i would choose the plaid as well and upgrade it.
is that why Taycans are selling so well?
i honestly want to believe you. i just dont see that many taycan around in LA.
Off-topic but I just find it funny how much this guy says the word "whenever"
Its a bit funny for sure
Those do not look like the ceramic brakes on the Porsche. The ceramics have yellow calipers, you can get them painted a different color as an option. But also when you did a close up of the disc it looked like the standard steel version…
I love the two cars. If I can swap the Tesla’s exterior for the Taycan, I will be happy
I have a 2023 plaid… if it had Porsche exterior and handling it would be the perfect car 😅
You bring a Porsche fan to do a Porsche vs Tesla comparison? What kinda a comparison is that?
I don’t think anybody cross shops these, it’s a $75k+ MSRP difference plus markups from Porsche dealers.
Call that car boring one more time....
Plaid looks like a Daihatsu compared to the Taycan.
I drove a 911 for 12 years. Porsche makes great, tight cars of incredible quality. This video was obviously biased. But its your channel. You were not driving a base Taycan, which is still more expensive than the Plaid, but a turbo S which basically double the price of the Plaid. And it has less range and is still slower…but not by much. The plaid is a family hatchback sedan that seats 5. Enormous storage capacity.
Base Taycan is not more expensive than a plaid, maybe a high optioned Taycan 4S.
Both are strict 4-seaters, none of them are suited for 5.
Thx for the review! Suspension on Tesla set to hard when making body roll comments?
I think the most important difference you left out in your review is the fact that the Porsche Is cost a $100,000 more. A Porsche Tycon Turbo S is around $230k, where as the Tesla costs around $130k. And Porsche Does not have anything close to full self driving that Tesla does. Most Porsche owners take the ceramic brakes off there car only to put them back on when they sell the vehicle. Ceramic brakes on the Porsche can cost u over $15k to replace. You are terrible at reviewing both of these cars.
Yup, 100k more for a much slower car. Dumb offer.
if you want to driven instead of driving save the price of the Tesla and get a taxi
@@MrDead1975 Thing is, a tesla gives you the option of driving or be driven. Some call that luxury.
That's why he has such a low subscribers poor review . Doug for the win
@@minso8164 A car should be driven by the driver. The Taycan is made to be driven by the driver, that's why it handles so much better than the Tesla.
Very biased. Looks like a porshe salesperson.
Porsche have no interest selling EV in scale as EV have no future revenues from maintenances and repair. So they just play along to be relevant. Porsche doesn’t spend money on the technology and just focus on the ecstatic. Nokia and Kodak play book against the IPhone.
porsche isn't trying to take over the car market like elon is. porsche has created a much nicer looking SUPERCAR which is meant to be a 'car'. not an iphone on wheels which in a few years will drive around for you smh
@@maxo4067 Supercar? A supercar slower than the plaid what a dumb argument
It cost more
The technology is ancient
It's slower
Less reliable
No intelligent at all just a stupid car in general
tesla fanboys🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@maxo4067 I don't really like Tesla that much, but I'd go for the Plaid.
@@oxide9717 you just made an even dumber argument. in case you havent noticed the plaid is faster than most real supercars. why is it 130k then ? because its a shitty made, shitty looking, shitty driving glorified soccer mom car. get real, the taycan is much better and thats facts.
I think I'm gonna start doing a rolex watches review even though I don't know anything about it.
I'll let you in on a secret that will really help you out with your new channel: a $20 quartz watch tells time more reliably than a $50,000 automatic. Every other point you review is relatively subjective. Back to Reddit with ye.

That lady in this video…
How much more biased can a reviewer be..
Does tbe Porche have auto pilot feature? Also what about the range and price? Jesus
Actually you didn't really cover everything you need to know. The Tesla is much faster, has better range, and has the amazing Tesla charging network in addition to being significantly cheaper. I do agree with the things you rate the Porsche better at such as brakes, the looks both exterior and especially the interior. I have a Tesla but if i had the money to buy the Porsche and I didn't need the car for long range driving, I would choose the Porsche.
And it still sucks
Regarding brakes: EV brakes are less a differentiator. I have a Tesla Model Y Performance and have taken it on several 400 mile plus road trips and the only time I touched the brake pedal was to start the car. I prefer aggressive regen one pedal driving. I also don’t miss cleaning the brake dust off the Porsches I’ve owned. I do like the Taycan interior and wish Tesla would offer an AMG or M Sport like upgrade package.
Let tell you something,Even though you have two likes you made an extremely horrendous point ,literally was a extreme point super intelligent
I've seen people boil those MS breaks, on regular teslas your right but that thing needs good breaks
Tesla has performance brakes as an option
For $20K 😬
There are much cheaper and effective aftermarket alternatives fortunately
Wish I can afford both but if I had money I will get the Tesla Plaid.
Both are high-performance sports cars. However, If you are talking about fit and finish, ride quality, and interior design. Don't buy a high-performance sports car!
You buy a high-performance sports car for the performance. Sorry, styling gets old. Performance never gets old.
Taycan is not high preformance, it overheats when tracked.
They Taycan is a purpose built EV sports car while the plaid is a family sedan converted into a sports car, nothing wrong with that but the two can't be compared totally different driving experience and customer base
Tesla builds iPads on wheels, Porsche builds cars.
@@ELECTRICEYEMEDIA true
do uknow why there is no buttoms just one big screen ? cuz it is much cheaper
The Porsche may be nicer than the Tesla, but is it $100K nicer? At that price range you can compare the Porsche to McLaren 570S. You can say the Porsche looks boring compared to the McLaren.
Ok, but the McLaren isn't electric
But the Porsche is faster than the mclaren too and can even beat it in the corners where the tesla falls apart
@@garrylong2993 A Taycan cannot beat a McLaren on track. Maybe a GT3/GT2 RS, but not a Taycan.
I prefer the Tesla styling over the Taycan. Maybe it's an age thing. But I have never been a Porsche fan. Their styling has always left me cold to it. I went "Gaga" over the '68 Charger, the 69 GT 500 Mustang, and the "Holy Grail", the '70 Hemi 'Cuda by Plymouth. these cars accelerated my heart beat by just being in their presence. It wasn't just me, the Hemi 'Cuda was going for $1,000,000 at auction the last time I checked (around 2012). Well, memories..
Current Model S owner. The only area lacking in the taycan is the range and price point is significantly higher than the tesla
And charging network for tesla...
It's higher for a reason, it's built better. Teslas are such garbage, customer service is garbage and waiting months on end for basic parts is just ridiculous. I've seen Teslas with duct tape on their headlights, bumpers because parts are not available.
@@TheRedRaven_ I agree to some degree. Tesla just doesn't know how to make a good car yet. They have amazing powertrains for a fair price (used to be affordable at least) and that's what keeps them in business.
And tech. And network. And screen size. And cabin space. And acceleration.
The Model S in white does look very plain imo. It looks radically better in blue or red.
Wow that was super unbiased. Probably don't bring the salesgirl with you again. This was a hard video to watch. A lot of pros and cons for both vehicles in reality. If speed and practicality matter I'd get the tesla. If handling and premium quality matter I'd get the 911 (not the taycan)...just sayin.
The Taycan is way above the Tesla. Why are the Tesla people so obsessed with comparing those cheap nonpremium Teslas against the Taycan? Nobody would compare a Rolls Royce against a Kia, but Tesla fanboys are obsessed with comparing the Teslas against the Taycan, even though they are not in the same league.
@@mbasir True enough, I don't think they compare at all either and I honestly don't think they are intended for the same consumer even though they do get cross shopped. If you go out of town with a few people the Taycan has no room for storage, so it is only useful for 1-2 people, or scooting around town. In terms of performance the plaid is way faster both straight and track if your desire is to track massively overweight vehicles. The Taycan is extremely nice though, but why get one over a 911 as the 911 is better in every single way. As nice as the Taycan is it has no reason to exist in Porsche's line up right now as it is bested by the 911 and the Panamera in every way aside from running costs.
@@Frosticus453 Theres enough room for storage, unless you want to empty a shop. It has room for 4, like the Tesla S, and good range. Probably about as good as the Model S. Porsche are always conservative when they inform about performance, Tesla is the other way around. Oh, and the 911 doesn't have 4 or 5 seats. Oh, and did I remember the Taycans built quality and handling?
@@Frosticus453 The Tesla is no match for the Porsche around a track. The Tesla doesn't have much in the way of handling, unlike the Taycan, which has very good handling. And none of them can take 5 onboard, only 4.
Lol “Quality of a Toyota, price of a Porsche” Toyota’s last forever so I’d say they are pretty good quality
If you had a family, which one would you rather pick.
3:40 little bit ? 😄
Porsche builds gerat cars, but in the EV department, some serious issues are: consumption, distance, network, software and updates, I'm from europe, had porsches loved them, but taycan needs some major improvments and finally have a look at the price please.
You will never get a cheap Porsche. It's a reason for that.
50km range extendion with my siftware new ipdates
Porsche is expensive 😂
You guys are so bias! I drove both and the Tesla was actually a smoother ride with thicker tires and spacious also. The taycan is so much more expensive with less benefits shorter range and crappy super charging networks for example.
Which Taycan did you drive? I’m curious.
So, you are asking a Porsche salesman to talk about Tesla ? Lol ok sounds very fair
Porsche has not been doing EVs for a Long time. Good luck with road trips. Porsche bragged about faster charging then Tesla did over the air update and taycan is no longer faster charging even with their 800 amp structure. That's how stupid Porsche is with EV. Perhaps if VW can send their cars into space like Tesla, VW will have a fighting chance against Tesla. Rocket science is much harder than one plane driving.
Porsche charges about twics as fast as Tesla. Oh, and built quality, handling, ergonomics, comfort and service is in a different league than Tesla.
Try not to sound like a sour fanboy. Taycan charging is much faster... Also who buys high performance electric cars to talk about road trips, it's like talking about a campers 0-60 times.
@@mbasir wrong.
@@brandon7136 wrong.
@@Tuck_Frump Nope!
Great video! She is great in the videos haha
Porsche is not really trying to compete with Tesla. Porsche is building the kind of EV that their loyal European performance/luxury buyers want to own. Your HUGE bias was revealed simply by your all of the things that you didn't say. You didn't talk one bit about range, or the vast Tesla Supercharger network, over the air updates, Autopilot, and Price! Those cool wheels, carbon brakes, special seats, and many other extras on the Porsche are definitely NOT free. What you DIDN"T say was that the Taycan "Turbo" S that you drove cost over $200,000, and full of options, it probably cost TWICE what the Tesla cost. Or looked at from the other side to get a Taycan at the Tesla Model S Plaid's $130K price, you are talking about a mildly optioned Taycan S. Meaning that it has nearly HALF the HP as the Plaid, and takes twice as long to hit 60MPH. This isn't going to bother a die hard Porsche fan because it still has the better materials, and top fit and finish, and they will justify that most people don't need a race car. But the performance of the $154K Taycan Turbo (not S), is a better match for the regular $100K, Tesla Model S Long Range. The base Taycan hits that Base Model S $100K price with mild options, and can easily option past the Plaid's $130K price. And this base Taycan takes over 13 seconds to get through the 1/4 mile, as opposed to the Plaid's low 9 second capability. Again, most Porsche fans won't care about that one bit, and Porsche got their EV formula right for loyal customers, so sales of the Taycan are steady and profitable for Porsche. These new performance EVs can rival the most expensive exotic cars on the road when it comes to acceleration, but are also pretty practical, quiet, comfortable, and reliable.
The Tesla can only match the Taycan in a straightline dash up to 100 kmh, after that the Taycan outperform it. And the handling of the Taycan is MASSIVELY superior to the Tesla. czcams.com/video/Hn9QWjxFPKM/video.html Oh, and the Tesla doesn't have brakes.... Oh, and built quality...
@@mbasir The Model S Plaid's price has dropped to $89K, including paint color. You can pay $20K more for the track package with ceramic brakes and special tires. Tesla Model S retook the lead in the race against the Taycan at the Nürburgring. Using the new Track Pack, a Model S Plaid has topped the Porsche Taycan Turbo S's 7:33.35 time with a 7:25.23. That's also over ten seconds quicker than it went before. So the Taycan Turbo S is not better handling or braking now. And of course the Plaid's straight line acceleration is in a different league.
Nicely done. Refreshing to hear an objective EV review
How about charging the Porche on a roadtrip?
Bought the Taycan 4S with Turbo S wheels performance battery, 6 months old car with 6 year bumper to bumper unlimited mileage warranty, 275 miles range, $136k. It was this or the Plaid, and I gotta say, I love the Porsche. I feel like I made the best decision. 👌 I don't need to be any faster. I love love love the sexy look of the car. 99% of your passengers are going to also like your car more than the Plaid, because the 4S is still PLENTY fast, but most the time, you're driving chill, you wanna relax, you like how finished and sexy the car is. You're not a high school kid that's revving his mustang to show off. I just love the Porsche. I wish Tesla would make something competitive with the Tesla Roadster. And $50k deposit for the roaster?! I've never been in one. They may delay it another year and sit on my deposit. There's just a lot of stuff about Tesla as a company still that needs to get fixed, even though I'm forever grateful to them for forcing the industry to innovate and make electric cars like this porsche.
great video Dino! your comments about the Model S Plaid are very similar to the comments that non tech people had about iphones 📱
Nope. Non tech people may have said the IPhone was too complicated but they never complained about quality of the build and the looks. Apple knew how to make electronics….Tesla is still trying to learn how to build a car.
@@crackheadbiden3273 I have a 2022 model 3 made in china.... and the build quality is PERFECT. Which Tesla do you own and which quality problems did you have?
@@somonosotrooooo I thought about buying one…. I went to look at it and when I sat in it I was completely shocked at how bad the interior quality was. A Honda Civic is better. It was so bad I didn’t even want to drive it. I’ll wait for the Mercedes.
@@crackheadbiden3273 which model and year was it? and in which location? unfortunately the models made in california dont have the same great build quality as china
@@crackheadbiden3273 You didn't sat in one, model 3 interior is literally better than merc with nicer wood, more soft touch materials etc...
Tesla is cheaper and better. You can put 5 people in Tesla and it's still faster than taycan
Not better, in no way. And Tesla S is way too expensive, compared to the Taycan.
@@mbasir you wish. Plaid is a much better buy than anything Porsche has. Give it up, punk.
porsche has a 40/20/40 rear seat as an option (like many other cars) you big dummy
Even ferrari has their signals on the steering wheel, no one has ever disliked that. Funny how you didn't find the bad paint quality to show us. After tesla entered the marked, more and more manufacturers have gone to screens, just as phones did, buttons are old and will be gone soon. Very confusing to have 4 screens for small tasks instead of one. Dont need a button for the glovebox, never use it and if i do, i can live with a 2sec more ineffective solution, same for the fan adjustment and other things. The unlock button will not change place over an update, never did in 10years, stupid comment. It's a tablet, u get used to where everything are. Temperature can be changed on the steering wheel, so why have a second button and same for the volume. Why even have a start button on a electric car.. Cant tell a different between tesla lr and plaid, either can you on taycan 4s, turbo and s. Tesla is futuristic instead of going futuristic step by step. I love both cars and often drives the taycan, but the tesla will age better because of its futuristic, as the future will go. If you ain't interested in technology, good luck in the future #early_grandpa asking kids for help in age of ~40. Taycan drives better, looks better, better quality (should be as Tesla makes 300 plaids when porsche makes 1 taycan), better breaks for time being and more luxury. Tesla is more practical, safer, better engineered, SuC network, up to date, easy, faster, family friendly, laid back, tech, range and made for the future. I'd go with the tesla and most because it's cringe to get gapped in a taycan by a big family sedan with kids eating ice cream winking at you and it also covers every needs. I didn't buy the taycan because i didn't get sold by it, didn't put me in the tesla and thought I was missing something or reason to switch, otherwise i got sold by the tesla. Buy taycan if you have a cayenne as car2 and gives shit and want the best quality and porsche feeling.
Ahhh you see this thing rolling on the freeway it looks damn good . The plaid .
the tesla fan boys are writing essay's HAHAHAHAHA
There are no tesla fanboys here but people with functioning brains...
oh great, another guy on youtube that doesnt own the car, has never driven daily with the yoke, does those awkward arm movements to make it seem like its horrible, and says that it sucks. *eyeroll
Yoke is a joke. Only Muskmuppets like it.
@@dantethomas7964 i mean, look at this fool 4:46 12:24 that's not how you drive with a yoke LOL
it's like an iphone user trying to navigate around an android OS for the first time. they clearly have no idea how to use it.
He talks about everyday driving and still goes on about the ceramic breaks that is missing on the Tesla??? Also the Porsche is not the same price it's 2x the price of the Tesla. Feels like he decided before testing which one is going to win.
Porsche Engineers: Let's make it balanced.
Tesla Engineers: Once you have 1000 hp car you don't need brakes.
Okay so if you want a relaxed driving experience since it has autopilot choose Tesla,if you like to drive and want quality car for example Bose sound system,rear tablets and etc.with a little more cost choose Porsche (Choose Porsche if you want better look).They are both for tech guys.
Those are the cheapest wheel configurations on the Model S plaid
Porsche only have the looks, as far as range, and whats faster is more important to me. Oh yea the price range as well lol
Porsche has much better built quality, better comfort, and way better handling.
idk why but I see a shift of focus in the second half
I would take the Tesla anyday it’s the cooler car ND THE WAY she said that Tesla has the quality of a Toyota inside that’s pretty bad from guys like u who supposedly know about cars ,I have one and before I went to bmw and Porsche to check their ev including TAYCAN , AND TESLA proved to be the better car and also the market says so,and technologically it’s far superior than TAYCAN
cmon fix the wind noise for your video.
If I only needed a car to go to work and charge at home 90% of the time and I had the cash, I’d def go with the taycan. Model s just isn’t a priority for Tesla. There’s no comparing the quality of the finish of a Porsche to a tesla and being an everyday commuter car, quality is important at least to me. Road noise for one makes the model s lose compared to the taycan.
Carbon ceramics are an enormous waste of money. Contrary to belief, they don’t perform as well as metallic brakes. They just don’t fade as much. They last longer, but cost so much more it doesn’t matter. That’s a red herring in this video.
Take the covers off ur wheels on the plaid
U have big plastic clip on covers that look like crap and don't help aero
think everyone has their reasons to buy or not buy a car. It doesn’t matter what other people think about or value the car, because you are buying a car for yourself and your family not some random person. Whatever fits your needs(look, features, price, range and etc.) is the best car. porsche taycan for the win that design alone sheeeshhh
Nice Video keep up the good work 👏
I passed on the plaid and got a base Taycan with the performance battery plus. I would never ever use all that power and the base Taycan gets the same exact real world range as the plaid. For city driving, any electric car feels faster than everyday ICE cars. The dated body style of the Tesla is the biggest turn off, maybe I'll revisit Tesla when a significant refresh is out. I'm not sure why everyone keeps talking about the charging network for the Porsche, I've had my Taycan since January and have used Electrify America like 8 times and didn't really have to, home charging with a 240v works perfectly.
What is this a Porsche commercial?
I'm just gonna ev swap my panerama and call it a day
Porsche is Porsche like 406 is 406 🤣🤣
Taycan is holding more stable on the road than the Tesla,you can’t compare it with Plaid here…
Nice test.I have Porsche myself.Beautiful lady🤪
Streaming services like Disney plus, CZcams , are a must in a car so I rather take the Tesla. It has better software , sentry mode/dashcam and Tesla app has more functionality like live camera view. More interior storage in the center console and a bioweapon defense mode that provides the cleanest air and prevent allergies. Porsche has a slower ui and got nothing on the amd ryzen cpu in the Tesla.
stock to your mamma's basement, none of the above is required in a car, especially when you're actually driving it
it's a car, not a gaming pc
@@slimconfucius it a car an a high end gaming PC and for even half the price the porches is a dumb joke to any clown who buys it
@@oxide9717 well you guys are exposing yourselves here. You aren’t car guys 😂. You’re tech enthusiasts. The Porsche beats out the tesla in driving experience every day of the week.
Tesla, a technology company that makes cars. Porsche, an engineering company that makes cars.
Wind noise takes away from good video
The most important thing is range is sucks on taycan around 200miles that suck for sure man :( and NO charging network like Tesla does also way too expensive over price for tycan and no autopilot also way too heavy, trunk is too small !! The Plaid is superb any day every day for many years to come very slick elegant beauty !! IF you compare tycan to Chevy bolt or Hyundai Kona electric then yes tycan is better.
Nope. The most important is handing and comfort. The Porsche wins both, by a very good margin.
@@mbasirthat’s some unbelievable bs, bloody hell
not if u choose an EV , it applies by choosing an 911( for example)
what u gonna do sit in ur Porsche , empty battery and scream my “ my car handels better “ while the Tesla does 150+ miles more ? control ur insolence?! how about that
@@mastodon5220 Tesla doesn't have any better range than the Taycan. Porsche give consistently longer range than Porsches number, while Tesla consistently underperformes. www.whatcar.com/news/range-test-how-far-can-electric-cars-go-in-the-real-world/n23331
@@mbasir u didn’t even read the article?! can u read or what ? it clearly says the Model 3 edged the Taycan in range & charging …?! what a fukin oaf , hahahahhahahahaaaa u absolute gormless minger
Audi works for BMW?
You left out some stuff on both cars
Plaid of course~
Wtf, she is competent to say anything? Where is body roll in Tesla?!?
In Canada the Tesla is half the price of the Porsche, so if you’re happy with much less performance for double the money it’s a no brainer 👍
You like buttons and i don´t! so what? I like the Tesla Plaid clean interior! The interior future cars will be like Tesla´s! We need evolution from our minds and think forward! Its what the Tesla is doing! Porsche looks good and cute but old style!! Tesla looks like future spaceships!
Lots of bias🙄🙄
anndddd your point issSss????????
The point is pretty obvious. The review is not objective 💩🤡
@@Ramneek22 he posed a question and then answered it. Unlike every other person out there who doesn’t actually give there opinion all they do is give boring facts, Dino juice actually tells us what he thinks. Don’t like his opinion then too bad.
Very nice video and compering.
Taycan Turbo S… 10 piston front brakes 4 piston rear
Model S is gorgeous. Just because they are ubiquitous you tend to not appreciate it.
C'mon man you cant bring me a Porsche car dealer and tell me you are giving a fair comparison/review. Of course the car dealer is going to push the Porsche so that she can make a profit on the mark ups etc. Tesla basically eliminated the middle person/car dealers with their contactless experience. You pay what you see on the site instead of having to negotiate with a car sales person trying to make you overpay. Thats like brining an apple store employee to a Samsung vs Apple comparison video.
At the much higher price of the Porsche, I'd expect it to be at least a bit quicker than the Tesla. But since it's much slower than the Tesla, it's quite the ridiculous offer actually. Old brand ain't worth that much to me.
porsche isn't about speed, it's about handling. it's why people buy 911s. Tesla is faster with more tech, porsche is more fun to drive.
@@slimconfucius Porsche is mostly about marketing actually. If it were about handling, the Taycan would be lighter than the S. Or faster on track than the S. Which both it's not. Not even faster than a Model 3 which can be witnessed in regular racing series.
@@minso8164 having driven both they are night and day, the Taycan is a thrill to drive around bends, can't say the same for Teslas, but they have their own benefits such as the tech. If you prefer Teslas or can't tell the difference then that's your preference, nothing wrong with that.
The Turbo S is plenty quick enough. It's just one level in a straight line below the Plaid. Wait until a tri-motor model comes out to go against it. I think Porsche should call it the Turbo GT.
You’re trading quickness for quality. The Porsche is just way better put together plain and simple. I’ve been in both cars and the Tesla feels really cheaply made and sterile while the Porsche uses better quality materials and feels more elegant. The Tesla is better for people who like tech and the Porsche is better for people who want luxury.
good channel keep go on !!
screw the cars. I want her!
Decent perspective, way biased! Does the Porsche have some kinda of special brakes? Not sure if that was mentioned?
The Porsche is a great car for sure! The interior buttons…ehh, I’m sorry the Plaid interior looks and feels better, the P looks old fashioned, like all Porsche models
The girl in the video said the plaid interior felt like a Toyota
@@Ramneek22 she seems like a BMW person, or Porsche I guess… likes the trash euro interiors…
Oh boy - going to a Porsche dealership with a hot salesperson to give the Tesla a bad review. All credibility is gone. All the crazy positives that Tesla has - not talked about at all. And the Tesla has Carbon Ceramics as well - $10k.
Yeah u r right
Porsche is not for every body. Yeah the Plaid have the advantage in technology, but never will beat Porsche in quality and realability. You don’t need a car to go at warp speed all the time, and if that was the case, in track performance, the Taycan will be better, better handling, better brakes, the Plaid will be fast only in straight line.
Tbh I rather lose in a race in a Porsche then win in a Tesla 😂
I like both cars, but I would take the Taycan Tb S, the build quality is good and beautiful, more options to chose. Tesla S plaid looks cheap and so simple, Tesla has a better charging network. People got the money, they charge their Taycan at home in a nice garage. Tesla free life time super charger good for Uber.
