On a more practical note, VW has presented the production version of the ID 3, and it looks pretty impressive. Unfortunately ... Not for North America.
More information. This is pretty impressive.

And then we'll discuss how we should wait for the next gen Porsche to make it fair?This one is Easy, but since you asked...
The Taycan is racing against a 3+ year old design Tesla. Prior to the Taycan, The current Tesla S ludicrous has been smoking Porsches ever since it was born.
Lets have a rematch when the next gen 2020 Tesla S three motor Plaid power train arrives.

... will the bumpers stay on?
Except you can get a gas pump to work with a generator. Realistically there is no way to charge a BEV if the grid is down.You win one internets.
Anyhow, on the topic of people who type a lot before thinking (*cough*), a friend posted this on Facebook tonight.

My response was something to the effect that gas pumps tend to not work very well without electricity either. Discussion came to a quick end.
Ok, let me rephrase. Unless you have already invested ~$25,000 in off grid infrastructure you cant charge your bev. For rough numbers, one kwh per panel per day is reasonable. Assuming you want to charge your model S in three days (assuming you dont have storage batteries $$$), you need 33 panels at 15 sq ft each or roughly 500 sq ft of panels.Lots and lots and lots of people charge their EV's with solar panels - particularly common in areas where electricity rates make ours look dirt cheap in comparison. Which despite the cries of many who think our electricity rates are insane, they actually are quite cheap.
And most (all?) urban gas stations don't have generators either, although I see your point.
