Regarding the driving dynamic, the M will excel at the limit but Taycan is easier and stronger until you push hard enough to see the weight and temperature burden with the battery.

A base taycan is not significantly faster or faster at all, compared to M3. It's actually significantly slower. The car weights 1000lbs more and has 150 horses less. A Taycan 4s which is not entry level, would be close on 0-60 and slower at quarter mile. You would need to go all the way to a gts to get something marginally faster on a straight line and to a turbo to get something significantly faster. Also, all dimensions for the taycan, length, width, weight, are closer to m5 than to m3. |
The perception of power is a bit different than comparing numbers on paper (available but often gotten with full preparation). Instead, it has a lot to do with power on tap and middle to low speed acceleration, where Taycan base is way ahead. As I mentioned, I have no doubt the M is dynamically better when you push. You simply need to work more to get the performance.
