AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)09/06 Report--

The new 2020 Porsche Taycan was officially launched worldwide in Beijing the day before yesterday, as Porsche's first all-electric four-door sports car has attracted a lot of attention. However, seeing the attention of Porsche Taycan, Tesla CEO Elon Musk launched a "challenge".

On Sept. 6, Musk tweeted: "Porsche, do you really think you know the true meaning of # 39 "ModelS will arrive at the New North track next week." At the same time, @ Porsche. It seems to ridicule Porsche's use of the word "Turbo" in pure electric cars.

Porsche's first all-electric sports car, the Taycan, made its global debut in North America, Europe and Asia, with two models, the Taycan Turbo selling for 1.498 million yuan and the Taycan Turbo S selling for 1.798 million yuan. Before the official launch of the new car, Porsche also pulled the new car to the New North track in Germany for testing, setting a record for the fastest lap of an electric four-door coupe. At the same time, Porsche also said its new Taycan is better than Tesla in terms of continuous power output.

However, after comparing the specifications of Porsche Taycan with Tesla Model S, some foreign media show that the latter has an important leading advantage. According to official figures, the ModelSP's 100km acceleration takes only 2.6s, much faster than the Porsche Taycan. Although Tesla ModelS is also famous for its performance, if you want to compete with Porsche, you may be driving a high-performance version of ModelSPerformance on the track.

In any case, Tesla is also the world's highest-selling electric car company, although the speed can reflect the performance of a car, but can not fully represent the quality of a car. Compared with the quality problems constantly exposed by Tesla, Porsche is still slightly better than Tesla. The release of Taycan not only represents the electric transformation of Porsche, but also the first shot that traditional manufacturers officially wage war on Tesla.

Today, the transformation of cars in electrification has ostensibly lowered the threshold of car-building and shortened the distance between new car-building forces and established car companies, but in fact, in terms of brand heritage, comprehensive R & D strength and consumer trust, the backwardness advantage of traditional car companies is still obvious.
