TESLA WINS THIS ROUND

摘要

In other words, Porsche wants the Taycan to behave consistently, unlike other EVs. Yet one more fantastic laugh, as that two-speed rear gearbox removes consistent acceleration response in real life. The supposed efficiency benefits of that complex transmission are unlikely to pay dividends either, as spinning an electric motor quickly doesn't require a lot of energy. We suspect the rear gearbox was included mostly for flat-out performance - Porsche likely wanted the Taycan to be able to keep up with Tesla's Model S Performance at low speed (it doesn't) and hand it a steaming can of German Whoop-Ass during high-speed autobahn drag races (it does, above 100 mph).
