Versatility and Style

The exterior of the Model S is sleek and made to show its performance capabilities, including its performance wheels and tires.
The Taycan’s versatility is a little more literal. It has three body styles to choose from, each of which highlights the power and sporty drive that you expect when you drive a Porsche.
Choose the option with the interior space and luggage room that meets your needs. Drivers looking for a sporty experience will enjoy the Taycan 4S body style with a curved hood and curved roof, which looks as if it’s ready to hit the road.
Performance
The Tesla Model S has quite a bit of power under its hood. The standard electric motors and battery provide 670 horsepower. Dual-motor all-wheel drive helps improve the range of the Model S and provides more control as you drive. For more power, the Model S does have a Plaid edition.
The Taycan lives up to the Porsche name with a high-performance battery and motors, which deliver up to 750 horsepower with overboost. In addition, the Taycan features drive modes that let you customize your driving experience every time you get behind the wheel.
Porsche Recuperation Management helps the Taycan recover power as you drive. As you drive and then brake, the system works to recuperate up to 90% of that energy, so you get the most range out of your Taycan.
Interior Luxuries
The interior of the Tesla Model S has room for five. Tri-zone temperature control is standard. The infotainment system inside the Tesla is quite large, with a 17-inch touchscreen, which could pose as a distraction for drivers.
The interior of the Taycan also seats five. The driver-centred cockpit provides an easy way for the driver to reach all the control they need. In fact, the mechanical buttons inside the cockpit have almost been completely replaced with touchscreens for a more intuitive experience.
The Taycan has its own infotainment system with a 10.9-inch touchscreen.
