The Taycan is more expensive and has 100 less miles range than the S.

The VW ID.3 is ugly, and it's long range version is 100 less miles than the Model 3 long range version.

Neither have Tesla's charging network either.

Range and charging is the most important thing about an ELECTRIC car. 100 miles is a big gap, and every car coming out has that gap.

Not to mention the Model S is faster 0-60 and cheaper.

VW ID.3 looks similar to the Golf which is a massive seller so I wouldn't assume your particular tastes are representative of everyone.

And in many places e.g. EU the Tesla charging network isn't a huge advantage as you have superior alternatives e.g. Ionity.
