I test drove a Taycan Turbo today. I'm quite impressed. The seating position is spot on and it's easy to place the car just where you want when cornering. Feels almost like a big 911/Cayman, but hides the 195 inch length, 77 inch width, and 5000+ pounds with the low CG, low driving position, low dash, and 911-esque hood that falls away. The suspension design is also a standout. It does the dual-purpose trick of firm and controlled cornering, with a supple ride over bumps, better than anything else I've driven.
I've test driven a model S as well. That was a dull car, but an impressive gadget. As a driving experience, there is no comparison with the Taycan. Also, if you haven't seen, here's how the performance over several quarter mile runs compares between the two. The engineering of the thermal management on the Taycan is light years ahead of the Model S.
Also, in a real world test of range, it's quite comparable with the Tesla, so there's only a small hit for much better performance (.99 skidpad vs. .92, 16.5 inch front brakes vs. 14.0 inch front brakes)
