I rent Tesla 3’s regularly now when I can because it’s fun. It’s fun because I don’t have to own it. That’s what I’ll say.

The Panamera is a very large car. And that diminishes its appeal to me the more I think about this seriously.
It's interesting--- I do think I'd actually have more fun driving an EV in most daily driving scenarios due to the instant response and lift-off regen. Probably more than a traditional sports car with a manual. But, yeah, in that special 10% of driving situations (alone in the car, nice empty windy road, good weather, etc) it's better to have the sports car. I do wish there were more choices on the market similar to the Model 3 in size and weight. So far, I think only the i4 comes close. I will say that the Taycan is head and shoulders above the others when it comes the ride/steering/handling...its still a big car though.
