The new taycan looks like a significant upgrade across the board and the turbo gt is a freak. Love it.

If ordering one, are you doing WP? Seems silly imo

And a non-WP Taycan Turbo GT isn't silly?

I wouldn't consider Tesla a "normal car company".

I bought TSLA qty in 2022 when it dropped to $103. I’m quite happy with the return thus far ($174) Sure it’s off all time hi of $415 but I’m confident it hits $300 before it’s back at $100. They’ve got a lot going on behind the scenes.
Just one investor guys opinion 👍

Savagegeese, always enjoy their vids. Lots of detail about the active ride too.

Why would Tesla be scared? This is almost $300k as tested and almost $250k to start. The S Plaid starts at $90k, add track pack for $20k, and you have better metrics across the board. Makes the Plaid a screaming bargain.

on specs, sure. The taycan is 17 seconds faster than the plaid+ceramics around the ring and within 2.3s of a Rimac. Anybody who has driven a Tesla and a taycan could tell you the taycan steering, suspension and aero are all significantly better.

Still, it will have very little impact on Tesla - just loss of bragging rights. There is enough price and quality/feature gap to minimize any impact. If anything, it made Rimac much less interesting.

Do more people go 0-60, like to brag about their horsepower, and want the longer range? Or do most people drive on the Ring?😜

The Taycan Turbo GT should be better in some areas since it is literally 2.5x the price.

It's a way for Porsche to sell "regular" Taycans.

The Turbo GT is an aspirational vehicle. Nothing more, nothing less.
