0-62 very low 3 sec. M5 will be just a bit faster if not the same.
The Taycan has very impressive repeatability, which is very amazing for AV!!!!
Tesla S warns about repeated use of its brutal acceleration setting, the Taycan offers no such thing.
In the video below Jonny Smith launches about 30 times without problems in Taycan. Similar to TTS.
To archive this they use two permanent-magnet electric motors at each axle, which have a unique kind of assembly that allows more copper in each stator, improving output while simultaneously providing for more efficient cooling. ( also using liquid cooling for battery) Porsche also noted the thermal management system, which was built specifically for the Taycan to ensure this kind of repeatability.

The Taycan is something I'll likely be interested in down the road a few years (after they've been around a while) but even given the supposed start price I expect a comparable vehicle won't be price competitive with the M5, Porsche really likes to get you with options.
