With EV , acceleration is not going the be what makes the difference, as they will all accelerate about the same.
It will eventually be mainly about the software offer/integration . That's why Tesla is evaluated so much. They are way in advance in this sector, other's will HAVE to follow the same path or they are dead. Full integration of all components, and not anymore hundreds of different ones from different manufacturers.
I agreed with this point too, one reason I am sticking to the Taycan 4S instead of doing my usual thing and go for the top trim, turbo S or even turbo.
But with that metric gone, the next one down the list will be fit and finish and luxury feel. This the Taycan has no equal, Audi come close however.
Next step down will be the infrastructure. On one hand Tesla seems to be in the lead, with their vast charging network, but on the other hand, the Taycan uses industry standard plugs, without carrying and using an adapter, that's a major selling point.
Car OS is mostly a moot point with CarPlay and the Google equivalent, as long as the stuff works, it's fine. Satellite radio, HD radio are all standard equipment everywhere anyways. But the equipment used, i.e. speakers, will make a major difference in the audio quality.
Components issue is another double headed sword. Vertical integration seems nice, everything in-house for control and quick revisions. 3rd party suppliers have their advantages too, they could be cheaper on cost with economies of scale. Or they could be more advanced in technology by virtue of specialization.
Ride and handling is harder to slot in, someone's metric may not be another's, some like it firmer while others like it more floaty or compliant. But the key is what the buyer look for, a comfortable cruiser, a corner carving beast, or just a basic city transportation that absorb potholes like they weren't there.
