Yup! It seems that technology competition is also starting to heat up in the automotive world. If last year we only knew the Tesla car, now a legendary manufacturer has appeared, namely Porsche. Porsche Taycan Turbo and Porsche Taycan Turbo S have started to introduce themselves.
In addition to specifications and appearance of course, Porsche Taycan Turbo is also introduced complete with the price.
It seems that Porsche is really ready to take orders for the cars they have prepared in advance. One sign is the price of the car that has been officially announced.
The electric car produced by Porsche has actually been eagerly awaited by observers and automotive enthusiasts. Therefore this luxury car manufacturer looks very confident introducing the Porsche Taycan Turbo officially to the public in Canada, Germany, and China at the same time.
Porsche Mission E
Porsche has introduced this all-electric car for the first time in 2015 named Mission E.
After some adjustments from 2015, the electric car made by Porsche will finally be available at the end of this year. And introduced as the Porsche Taycan Turbo and Porsche Taycan Turbo S. which is certainly much better than the first version.
Nearly 5 years the concept of an electric car from Porsche has been developed, and finally we can see and (maybe) also feel it. What is the end result of the automotive experts of the company known as one of the luxury car manufacturers?
Porsche Taycan Turbo performance
At the introductory event titled World Premier Porsche Taycan which took place in 3 countries at once, Porsche executives showed off the ability of the Porsche Taycan Turbo electric car.

Specifications for Porsche Taycan Turbo | newsroom.porsche.com |
Like the Tesla electric car, the Porsche Taycan Turbo has two electric motors located in the front and rear. This makes the two vehicles all-wheel drive. Porsche also claims to be able to charge the battery better than its competitors (Tesla).
Below is a video review of the Porsche Taycan Turbo electric car from the YouTube TopGear channel:
Price of Porsche Taycan Turbo - Electric Car Competitor for Tesla
In terms of price, it does look a little far compared to the luxury electric car made by Elon Musk, namely Tesla (Model S).
The offering price of the Porsche Taycan Turbo is still considered the most worrying, because it is too far from the price offered by the Tesla Model S electric car. The price offered by Porsche is almost twice the price of the current Tesla Model S electric car.
The base price of the Porsche Taycan Turbo is US $ 150,900 (US $ 185,000 for the S version). The initial price is believed to rise when the car is actually marketed later this year.
As for the price of the Tesla electric car (Model S), it starts at US $ 79,990 and other versions start at US $ 99,990.
Both are not cheap, but Tesla shows a price point that is much lower and also has a longer range: up to 370 miles / 595 km in one charge.
Charging Stations
Imagine if you went out of town but didn't have time to fully charge the battery. You must immediately look for locations - locations containing battery charging stations for your electric car.
This is also the reason why buyers are still choosing Tesla electric cars over other manufacturers, due to the availability of battery charging stations.
There is a Supercharger network that gives Tesla owners a very significant advantage. When charging far from home, but still able to charge the car battery with a fast charging time (30 minutes), you are definitely craving it.
In the Autolist survey, 24 percent of buyers gave the reason for the electric network charging for car batteries as the main reason to still choose Tesla over Porsche.
Porsche is a Porsche
Although currently Porsche-made electric cars look less promising because of various things, we are sure that Porsche will have its own market.
Moreover, Porsche has more experience in the automotive industry, when compared to Tesla which is still counted as a new player in the automotive world.
Currently Porsche has partnered with Electrify America's charging network and will offer car battery charging at every Porsche dealer. And this looks like it's just the beginning of Porsche in its steps to scoop up from the electric car market.
