Really nice car. What has seemed to be a major problem for the top car manufacturers in competing with Tesla has been the problem of cannibalizing sales of their own ICE (internal combustion engine) cars if they build competitors to Tesla with the same style level, flair and performance as a Tesla. The Porsche Taycan is the first car that I have from a major manufacturer that does this. They keep from competing with their ICE cars by putting the price point significantly above their major sellers. Don't think it will be a best seller with a price point from low to mid six figures. I can see a sales person at Mercedes or BMW having an electric car at the price point of a Tesla Model 3, with the style and flair of a Mercedes C class or BMW 3 class, and the customer saying I want that instead of the C class or 3 class that I wanted to buy. At this point, not only are they not gaining net sales, but making considerably less money than their ICE car brings them (with the electric car having both a lower margin and lower long term maintenance/repair costs - where most dealers are making their real money).
The company that I hoped would be the real Tesla competitor was Toyota. They were early in the electric game (at least hybrid electric) with the Prius, and have the best track record in quality manufacturing. Their stock price compared to all the other ICE companies has reflected that leadership. However, their major entry into the non-ICE market has been the hydrogen fuel cell Mirai. It was very heavily advertised in northern California, where we (and Tesla) live, so I explored it. Nice looking car, especially the new model. Competes with the mid-higher level Lexus. However, I would be traveling 20 miles to fuel up. Unless you drive or work near a fuel station, it seems to be not viable. They need to have a denser distribution of filling stations than Tesla, since they can't have hydrogen fueling at home. I've heard Toyota is finally looking seriously at electric.
