SciFrog:

Torque cannot help compensate for the extra stress on tires and brakes. Even more proof that hybrid is a flawed stopgap technology for anything but extreme cars. Heavy, expensive, not enough extra performance. It is a technology showcase for rich people, but in that case the Tesla is a better showing (expect for the autobahn). 

Making the argument that you save on taxes or fuel on a $200k car that will trade in at half that in 3 years is ridiculous. 

Sorry, that is nonsense. The Tesla (with just an electricral motor) is not any lighter. But with the Porsche you get a real car on the highest level of engineering and not just a compromise Smiley

Also, neither tires nor brakes will represent a problem with the Porsche - unless you drive 3+ fast laps on the track. With the Tesla you will get beyond the cars limit if you drive quicker on a twisted road. Also, I would not want to brake from 250kph to 0 in the Tesla just once. You might be the first person to ever test it.

While we complain about the Panamera turbo s in this thread - a Tesla is certainly not even close to this car. A Tesla is mainly offered for the not-so-clever masses that check out cars in the shopping malls (as mentioned in the other thread). That tells a lot...
