Cannot mod this high enough. The only piece of info from the Taycan session perhaps that might make more sense in this squabble is that Porsche spent time tuning the car -to the circuit-. I.e. they're not running 'production' specs on their car -either-. Neither car was 'stock', inasmuch as Ferrari's cars are stock when they show up to press junkets (like the one comparing the La Ferrari/Mclaren P1/Porsche 919, where the 918 was dropped off and still beat the Ferrari with all it's tuning experts on hand to massage and caress the car - (https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2011/02/chris-harris-exposes-the-ferrari-spin-machine) ).
So, yes, dollar for dollar, the Tesla wins this contest (inasmuch as it can do what the Taycan does in traffic, although it wasn't a full lap of the circuit, only bridge to gantry).
