> that is fairly non-sensical on an electric car given that they don't have turbochargers

Lots of things have had "turbo" terminology over the years.

- PCs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_button or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Turbo_Boost

- Video games: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_Fighter_II_Turbo%3A_Hyp...

- Folk music: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo-folk

I’m surprised people are getting so pedantic about using the Turbo moniker on an electric car. Sure, historically in cars it has typically referred to a type of forced induction commonly used on combustion engines, but it’s also been generally used to mean “FAST” in virtually every other marketing field for decades. I love cars, regardless of the means by which they generate forward motion, and couldn’t care less Porsche called this one a Turbo - it’s performance characteristics are entirely in keeping with what one expects from a Porsche with the Turbo branding.

The combustion non-turbo 911s also have turbochargers, so yes, long time marketing label, not feature description.
