One of the most important factors to consider when exploring an EV is the range and charging. While the Tesla Model S provides more range, you might have a harder time finding different places to charge it. Tesla is one of the only EV manufacturers that utilizes a proprietary charging system. That means you might have to go out of your way to charge your Tesla on a road trip.
On the other hand, the Porsche Taycan utilizes the much more common J1772 and CCS combination charging system, which is available at nearly every public charging station. If you prefer to enjoy a high-performance sports car with a seamless charging experience, the Porsche Taycan is the smarter choice.
Not only is the 2023 Porsche Taycan more flexible when it comes to charging, but it’s also pliable in the sense of customization as well. You’ll find that there are more trim levels, different body styles, and even custom color options for you to choose from when you opt for the new Porsche Taycan.
The Tesla Model S on the other hand, easily blends in with the crowd around Hayward because it isn’t as customizable. Here are some customization options to think about with the 2023 Tesla Model S and the 2023 Porsche Taycan:
While these luxury EVs offer plenty of performance, it’s important that they also remain extremely comfortable for drives around San Leandro.
