2022 Porsche Taycan vs. 2022 Tesla Model S

The 2022 Porsche Taycan drives precisely the way one would expect - like a Porsche - with endless acceleration! With quick recharging capability, this electric vehicle goes outside the typical electric car stereotype with its sporty driving characteristics. It offers imperious control and confidence, and an EPA estimated range of almost 230 miles. It balances epic acceleration courtesy of the two-speed transmission and a highway cruising range that beats expectations.

2022 Tesla Model S offers maximum driving range and is, by all accounts, just plain fun to drive. In a growing market, it is a desirable, compelling option where today's electronic vehicles are concerned. With seating for four adults, it delivers supercar acceleration as well as comfort and performance.

Design & Style

The cockpit of the 2022 Porsche Taycan has a definite air of the Porsche tradition. It is decidedly modern with a curved digital driver display. Top-notch materials are used to contribute to the overall finish and fit, which are the envy of the industry. Where the exterior is concerned, wheel designs can be customized as well as the paint job, depending on the look you're going for. Even without customization, the exterior offers a precise balance between the traditional Porsche design and a modern look.

While one would expect to find a high degree of luxury in the 2022 Tesla Model S interior after looking at its price tag, the interior is nice, but it doesn't measure up to other big-name luxury vehicles. That said, a huge 26 cubic foot trunk is nicely hidden under the rear liftgate courtesy of the sloped roof line. Without folding down the rear seats, you can easily stash eight carry-on cases or more.

Technology & Safety

The fast battery charging mentioned earlier comes courtesy of a new temperature management system on the 2022 Porsche Taycan. Natural voice commands can be used for the vehicle's information and entertainment center. Compared to the driver assist packages that are available in most of today's luxury cars, this vehicle meets and beats the norm.

If you're a big fan of modern minimalism, the cabin of the 2022 Tesla Model S will fit you like a glove. It has a standard, sizable infotainment screen which is used to control many of the vehicle's functions. As a secondary gauge cluster display, there is a small touchpad as well as one for the rear seat.

Performance

The 2022 Porsche Taycan features standard launch control for an added boost of power. Especially when you consider a sedan of this size, it surprisingly provides athletic handling and quick acceleration. This upscale, high-tech luxury car gives you an impressive 590 HP in its GTS version.

Exceptional acceleration is offered by some of the 2022 Tesla Model S models, with a 0 to 60 mph acceleration time of 2.4 seconds. Full-time all-wheel drive is offered, however, on all models.

The Bottom Line

The 2022 Porsche Taycan evokes intense emotion and style with an electric driving experience that is second to none. While the 2022 Tesla Model S has definite favorable characteristics, it falls short in a comparison between the two.
