Why the massive discrepancy between the EPA rating and the real world? That's been a
topic of much speculation
and I look forward to reading your best conspiracy theories down in the comments (seriously, get out those tinfoil hats and have at it), but it's all a bit academic because, regardless of how optimistic you are with the Taycan, the Tesla Model S Long Range Plus's EPA range of 391 miles blows it away. That is a truly remarkable figure.
The Tesla also wins out when it comes to charging. Porsche installed high-speed chargers at all its dealerships, and has partnered with Electrify America to provide easy access to the approximately 1,700 chargers at 350 stations in the US. While those chargers are almost all significantly faster than Tesla's Superchargers, Tesla has numbers on its side, with over 16,000 Superchargers at nearly 1,900 locations in North America.
There's one final caveat: If you're buying either of these cars you probably own your own home, which means the vast, vast majority of the time you'll be charging at that home. So public charger availability isn't as big a deal as most people make it out to be.
However, that doesn't stop this category from being a big win for the Tesla.
The Taycan Turbo S is no slouch, but neither is it the quicker of these two cars.
