Shouldn't Have Done It?
Elon Musk has pitted his Model S Tesla against the Porsche EV, Taycan. The Taycan won. Now it is winning the social media chatter as well. Some commentators are predicting that Musk will need to do a total redesign of the Model S to stay up with the competition. He can barely afford to do that alongside his many other projects, including an EV pickup truck. One wonders if Musk has taken on one too many risks, but then, he has been on the leading edge for years and so far, has pulled off his boasts. It would not be wise to bet against him. On the other hand, Porsche has time and again designed and built leading sports cars since its founding in 1948. The company is methodical and driven by racing where it tests components over long distances. Who might win a competition is in the air. It should be fascinating to watch.
