But you want one , don’t you . Admit it ??

Why? If you think I'm singing the praises of Tesla, you're very wrong. Both Tesla and Porsche have made entirely valid design decisions, it's just a different approach to what they consider valid 0-60 performance.

Tesla don’t do 0-60 , they start rolling then accelerate . No one else does.

Yeah, yeah they do.

Tesla all do lots of other staging like ensuring a fresh VHT surface is used, but they're not alone doing that.

Are there actually any mechanical differences between the dual motor versions or is it the same OEM motors and batteries in all of them? I know you get more of the chassis tech as standard as you go up the range but I wouldn’t be surprised if a laptop could fix Porsche’s careful positioning of the models.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that the turbo and turbo s have different (i.e. more powerful) motors and inverters?

What are you used to driving OP? Must be pretty rapid if the Taycan's are slow cars

I'm pretty sure that's not what he said.

To me it seems both Tesla and Porsche are playing games?

Every single car manufacturer does. Ferrari were well known for it on track tests. Nissan had all sorts of Warranty issues around launches voiding the warranty. VAG lied about their 'green' TDi emissions. FIAT made a car undriveable on hills to pass the CO2 brackets. Bugatti claimed a 300mph production car world record with a car that wasn't the production car...

It's all a game!
