That is an incredible range you achieved in this video? Especially compared to the EPA estimates here and even to the European test cycle estimates. What do you attribute that fantastic result to?
Driving slow.What do you attribute that fantastic result to?
And using the front motor (range mode).Driving slow.
Agree.He's doing less than 50 mph (80kph) for most of the test.
Yup. You'll definitely get great range driving that slowly.
(You'd also hold up traffic if the streets weren't empty)
Not exactly real world driving. Well, not MY real world.
Tesla once said that the sweet spot for maximum range in electric cars is between 25 and 30 miles per hour. So if he slowed down, he could have gotten even better range. And taken a nap.
I didn't buy a Taycan to do Hypermiling. That's much better suited to a Kia or a Prius.
Yes, we have a wonderful car. I can use a Faberge Egg to hold up the corner of my couch, but it’s a bit of a waste.Agree.
Still, try hypermiling with a Lamborghini or Ferrari...
It only shows you can do 600+ km with a 761hp/1050Nm beast...
It's just thàt flexible.
That will depend on what the flat-plate drag is. Not to be confused with the coefficient of drag which is worthless.He's doing less than 50 mph (80kph) for most of the test.

I don't think you got my point but that's ok.Yes, we have a wonderful car. I can use a Faberge Egg to hold up the corner of my couch, but it’s a bit of a waste.
My opinion is mine, And others will use their cars for many other purposes. More power to them; It’s a free world.
Peace. Stay healthy.
What will? You quoted my whole post... so now I’m lost on what your comment refers to. (Please talk to me like a 5 year old... who read a coloring book on aerodynamics).That will depend on what the flat-plate drag is. Not to be confused with the coefficient of drag which is worthless.

Your miles / kw hour.What will? You quoted my whole post... so now I’m lost on what your comment refers to. (Please talk to me like a 5 year old... who read a coloring book on aerodynamics).
