^^ agreed.. it's annoying and kind of insulting. They're using "Turbo" in like a Disney or anime way like saying it's really fast. But what do I know, I'm sure a multi billion $ company doing as well as Porsche did the market research on their branding.

Never in automotive history has a car with a "turbo" badge left a factory that isn't turbocharged. If Tesla had labeled the model 3 performance a model 3 turbo they would have been ridiculed. Just because Porsche trim lines have always gone S, Turbo, Turbo S doesn't mean they needed to do it to an EV cuz it isn't turbocharged.
