That Taycan noise is so awesome. The 2 stage tranny seems to help a lot up top. The Model S did pretty good for about half the price though.

Cheetah Stance?? Is this some sort of trim or option?

Update to the Performance model that adjusted the air suspension and lowers the front prior to launch.

It only lowers the quarter mile time by 0.1s. All that nonsense about battery pre-heating will improve the quarter mile by about 0.4 seconds. Taycan just goes...its definitely the better performance car. Thats why I like the Model 3...none of that non-sense. Its always fast and doesn't suffer from battery heat nearly as much.
