AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)09/08 Report--

Porsche launched its electric car Taycan in Europe, Asia and North America. As soon as the new car was launched, it was run by Tesla CEO Musk, who mocked the flaws in Porsche's Taycan design on Twitter: "if the traffic is heavy, the car in front will emit harmful gas and go directly into your air conditioning intake." Fortunately, gasoline / diesel carmakers did not cheat on emissions, otherwise we would be in trouble. "

Musk referred to cheating as the Volkswagen diesel scandal. It is understood that Volkswagen has installed "inefficient devices" on existing cars to make them look more environmentally friendly, but the pollutants emitted by cars have actually exceeded the limits of the United States.

The full name of Porsche's new car is "Porsche Taycan Turbo". As we all know, Turbo means turbocharge. however, the performance of electric vehicles does not benefit from turbocharging, so they will not install turbochargers. Porsche only wants to use this word to emphasize the performance of Taycan. Tesla disdained this, saying that Porsche simply did not understand the true meaning of "Turbo" and threatened that Tesla Modes S had never run the New North Raceway and that Model S would arrive in New North next week to compete with Porsche.

It is understood that the starting price of the Taycan Turbo is $1150900, and the more powerful Taycan Turbo S is $185000, which is about $100000 higher than the Model.

But in comparison, Model S has obvious advantages in mileage, acceleration, charging grid and price, while Taycan is better in track performance, braking, suspension and craftsmanship.

It seems that the launch of the Porsche Taycan really touched Tesla's cake. However, it is useless to have sex in the mouth, and we still have to use data to speak up. It remains to be seen what Model S can achieve in New York.
