Sure if 'same ball park' means double the price, then yes. To be as good for double the price is really not a brag.
The Taycan is probably better than a 8 year old design Model S, again, if you don't mind paying double.
The number 1 complaint about EVs is that they're too expensive. GM moves the game on by exactly zero. What is GM's EV margin? Are they breaking even yet?
Tesla produces their EV's at double the gross margin of GM's mostly ICE vehicles, which means Tesla still has room to lower it's prices.
4WS? GM have been doing that for well over a decade. The under car cameras are a gimmick, and in off road use just won't survive. But look there's a moon boot on the floor mat.
Because of their horrendously inefficient design, pickup trucks need to be really big. If a smaller truck would do, you probably shouldn't buy a truck at all. A Honda Jazz will do anything a smaller pick up will. The only design that moves utility forward is the CT. I'd still rather have a Cybervan though, side sliding doors and rear barn doors, and space to stand up inside on sunny, hot or raining days. The way American contractors operate with a big truck then a really big trailer is an admission they bought the wrong vehicle in the first place. No one else in the world does things that way.
