Like really, really fucking quick.

0-60 in the neighborhood of 2.5-2.7 seconds. I can’t wait to see full reviews and specs when they land here in the US.

I know the Model S does 60 in like 2.3, but this is remarkable for Porsche’s first stab at an electric car.

You should never go from 0-60mph in a neighborhood. That’s just dangerous.

Maybe I’m dumb, or ignorant, or just haven’t kept up with the news, but how can it be a Turbo if it doesn’t have a turbocharger? Has this topic already been covered?

It’s just Porsche’s naming scheme. Think 911 Turbo and Turbo S.

“Turbo” that makes me inordinately angry.

31kWh/100km...

A Better Route Planner says the reference consumption for the Model S P100D is 22kWh/100km... I wonder how the Taycan does when it’s driven normally for a while. Gramp’s model 3 does 19kWh despite being considerably smaller, and also less powerful.

EDIT:
According to ABRP, the taycan Turbo S does 21kWh/100km as a reference. But these references improve as more cars are tested... I wonder how the number will change

Turbo is now a trim level with no meaning behind the name anymore.

Looking forward to the first quarter mile run between the two.

Oh man, they need to add that clip every time you enable launch mode.

No turbos, just Porsche marketing department being ridiculously lazy and stupid.  Just what you want from a premium auto manufacturer.

Elon Musk said a few weeks back "Porsche, you keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means".  Porsche long ago devalued turbo to a sales badge.  Jalopnik wrote a long story about turbo's journey to moniker. So, yeah, sorta covered.

I really want to like electric cars/bikes/etc... but I can’t. No matter how many I drive I can’t help but feel like something is missing.
