I don't care about handling or speed in these cars. The world is full of exceedingly capable vehicles in the hands of people that can't put them to their limit, and even if they can, shouldn't be doing it on public roads. I've done plenty of racing of all varieties, but I don't do it on public roads. My DD EV being better at cornering or being able to get to 60 in 3.4 seconds instead of 4.5 is irrelevant.
The interior of that Cayenne above also doesn't look like anything too spectacular. The F-150 Limited interior also looks similarly good in pictures. What makes a luxury car truly great and not just a name is how all those materials feel and the fit/finish, which you aren't going to get a sense of from a picture.
So if the Macan is going to be great, it needs to offer 250+kW charging with a strong charging curve, at least 300 miles of range (assuming $80k starting), and an interior that actually feels and looks like a performance luxury vehicle. If it can accelerate and handle well, that's definitely a bonus. That's what I would consider a leapfrog, significantly better in the areas that you actually interact with daily.
I believe Porsche can turn out something great. They make the only other EV besides the MME that I truly want, assuming price was no object. If I could get a Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo I would never look twice at an MME or any other EV (except maybe an EV truck).
