Yup I'm not interested in an EV either for those reasons. But regardless the Taycan is for Porsche type of customers. They aren't losing any sleep over techie nerds who were never going to buy any Porsche in the first place because they are "too uncomfortable" or don't have gimmicky features.
I think people are overestimating how many people realistically cross shop Teslas and Porsches. The Taycan's price makes it all the more exclusive; I'm sure that's partly why Porsche priced it much higher than the Model S.
