2022 Porsche Taycan vs. 2022 Tesla Model 3

Ordinarily, for electric cars, one relatively low priority is that of sports car driving characteristics. However, the 2022 Porsche Taycan changes all of that with endless acceleration and more! Rather than an excuse, it uses battery power as an opportunity. Instead of the soulless, autonomous transport typical of so many battery-operated cars today, this vessel is designed for human engagement. It offers imperious control and confidence with a two-speed transmission that balances exceptional highway cruising range with epic acceleration.

2022 Tesla Model 3 offers an impressive driving range (not so much on the highway, however), lithe handling, and punchy acceleration. If having a Tesla in your driveway has been your dream for a long time, but you didn't find them affordable, here's your opportunity.

Design & Style

A tech laden environment awaits you in the 2022 Porsche Taycan. Typical of what you'd expect from a Porsche, the design is ostensibly simple. A variety of color schemes and a range of rich materials cover the interior. Luxury options are very nearly limitless including heated rear seats, heated steering wheel, massaging front seats, and four zone climate control. The view is undeniably excellent from behind the wheel of this vehicle.

Due to its extreme simplicity, if nothing more, the interior of the Tesla Model 3 is unique among luxury vehicles. In the center of the dashboard, a monolithic touchscreen controls practically everything. The feel is airy and spacious thanks, in part, to the flat, low floor. Though a bit cramped in the rear, the front seats are comfortable and supportive.

Technology & Safety

Inside the 2022 Porsche Taycan, there is no such shortage of screens. To control the infotainment system, there are two touchscreens which are centrally located and, for the gauges, a curved 16.8-inch display. Among other things, these screens are used together to interact with android auto features, input navigation, check the battery status, adjust climate settings, and more.

Though the 2022 Tesla Model 3 offers standard USB connectivity, Bluetooth, and navigation, it does not have SiriusXM satellite radio nor AM radio. Standard, however, are a few Internet streaming radio options. On the center display, there are plenty of entertainment options including a host of arcade games, YouTube, and Netflix.

Performance

The 2022 Porsche Taycan features an innovative two speed transmission. You can go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds in the 4S model while also enjoying point-and-shoot handling. The Turbo S's rocket ship takeoffs will be particularly impressive to those with a severe need for speed.

Almost silently, the 2022 Tesla Model 3 smoothly gains speed, as with most EVs. You can go from 0 to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds in the Long-Range, rear wheel drive model. This vehicle also offers a low center of gravity due to the battery being carried under the floor, as with all Teslas.

The Bottom Line

The 2022 Porsche Taycan evokes deeply felt emotion and unquestionable style with an electric driving experience that is undeniably impressive. While the 2022 Tesla Model 3 is just fine, the fact that it can't be equipped with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto will be a dealbreaker for some. The 2022 Porsche Taycan offers both.
