I myself was waiting for the Taycan, its looks stunning, and is very impressive, but on pure specs, its actually the same size as a Model 3 Performance, and a little slower... So I just ordered a Model 3 Performance. I currently drive a Model S.

Honestly, the Model 3 and the Taycan will probably be miles apart. Some of my own reasons for wanting to wait for the Porsche instead of getting a Tesla:

Handling: There is no way the Tesla will handle similarly to a Porsche. Steering feel, cornering, road feel. Porsche is the king of handling for a reason, and I'm anxious to see what they can accomplish with the low CG of an electric vehicle.

Consistency: The Porsche can keep doing pulls from 100% down to 10% charge consistently with no performance degradation. This was actually Porsche's main focus, an actual electric track car.

Fit and Finish: Again, anybody who's seen both a Porsche and a Tesla up close will know it's not even a competition.

Charge Time: The Porsche will charge twice as fast as a Tesla, which (assuming you can find a fast enough charger) is pretty cool for quick recharges.

How is that even remotely similar? Wow

The Model 3 Performance and the Taycan? They are about the same size, 0-100, top speed, range, charge rate etc etc.

I'll admit that the Taycan will be very nice looking, but it will also be about twice the price, if going for the same performance.

You don't buy a Porsche for 0 to 100 performance as there are better cars on the market for that. You buy a Porsche because you want the fastest track cars that will best any other car on the Nurburgring. The Taycan will be the fastest production electric car on the Ring.

I think there is a very high chance, that it will be, but right now the M3P, is beating even the BMW M3 and Mercedes C63 AMG around tracks, as shown by Top Gear and others. I do however think that people buy them, because they are performance luxury cars, with a great interior, and great features. Thats why I was looking at it anyway. Unfortunately because of the danish tax system, and when the car will be available, the Model 3 Performance, makes much better sense for me..

You know, cars aren't just about performance numbers. Or nobody would buy a Rolls Royce over a Golf GTI.
