Porsche all-electric Taycan model has outsold the company's 911 combustion car for the first time reinforcing the automaker's steady progress towards its electrification goals. Porsche announced that the sales of Taycan sedan, rivaling Tesla Model S, passed sales of Porsche 911 by a few hundred cars in the year through September, stated a report by Bloomberg.
