I know specs are sexy but, you're missing one important detail here. Battery Longevity.

Tesla did not initially do this because they wanted the batteries on their customer's cars to last for a long time. Now that they have the data, they bumped it to 250kW along with the on-route battery warmup.

So far, I have not heard a single detail on how the Porsche Taycan deals with making sure the battery life is being preserved. This could have financial and ecological cost if not handled properly.

Teslas have a history of overheating when you try to drive them like sports cars:
