Why It Matters: Porsche, like practically every other luxury automaker, is late to the party Tesla kicked off with its Model S sedan. The Tesla is quick, has over 300 miles of range depending on configuration, and is luxuriously appointed—and, as the only car of its type, it has been gobbling up the money of eco- and image-conscious buyers for years. Existing luxury brands would prefer that cash from those buyers make its way to their coffers instead, yet they’ve done relatively little to woo the Teslarati. Porsche, along with Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and BMW, has dabbled in plug-in hybrids of late, but Porsche’s bold step toward a true EV—particularly one that’s a stand-alone model—will make it the establishment’s first serious Tesla challenger.
