  1. No.

  2. Don't just take the EPA ranges. Range only matters on long distances, and you made them at higher speeds. And there the Porsche is not that bad in comparison.

  3. Range usuallay only matters on long distances, and you make them on the highway, so at high speed. Here a real life test "Taycan 4S vs Model S Perfomance" at 120 kph: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VK0oC83y4L8&t=1311s Model S: 424 km Taycan: 376 km Yes, that is less, but I don't if we should call it really "horrible". It least it shouldn't be a deal breaker for many people.

  4. You mean kWh not kW. And actually the used capacity is only 83.7 kWh.

  5. For Porsche the name has lost its original meaning already before the Taycan. It just describes a trim level. What do you think is the difference between the "911 Carrera 4S" and the "911 turbo"? You think that the "turbo" has a turbocharger, but the "4S" doesn't? Wrong. Both have turbochargers. But the "turbo" has a bigger displacement. What do you think is the difference between the "Panamera 4S" and the "Panamera turbo"? You think that the "turbo" has a turbocharger, but the "4S" doesn't? Wrong. Both have turbochargers. But the 4S has a V6 while the Turbo has a V8. And here ist the same for the "Taycan 4S" and the "Taycan Turbo". The name only tells you that is has more power. But it doesn't tells anything about the technology that is used to get more power.
