I wonder if that shift point has anything to do with the slower acceleration. I'd imagine it would make a small difference.
As for the top speed, I believe Tesla is limited to 155mph and the Taycan is reported to be limited at 161mph. So the Taycan is actually faster, but I'm not sure how much it matters since both are limited by the software.
