The Car Connection's Take

TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2020 Porsche 911 improves upon the sports car icon’s incredible performance while adding needed safety and connectivity features. The 2021 Porsche Taycan is no Tesla-fighter, but it’s the benchmark for fully electric performance. Growing old though it is, the Tesla Model S still looks and feels as fresh as when it first debuted eight years ago.
