New car, when does range finally start steady out to EPA?

[DCYL725]

Thx - so this works out at 1.83 miles which is high consumption. Given your average speed this makes some sense. On a longer journey you should expect 2.6 miles or higher (depending on various things).

Like I said! This Taycan is a bumper-to-bumper traffic machine. If it's not in traffic, it's being cut off by Tesla's.

Only time at sub 30 KMh per 100km is on high ways. 11km/hr average speed ha! This car kills it in peak hour traffic.

I get my best values on country roads (average speed 60-70 km/h) followed by highway (average around 100). Short drives are really bad. See my 2 km trips. It has to heath or cool the cabin.

I don’t drive in range mode. It doesn’t make a big difference and in the CT it is less comfortable than normal mode at level -1.

Coming from a Tesla Model X, it is important to note that the range stated in the Taycan screen is close to the actual real world range you will get. Not the same experience with Tesla. Tesla would show 200 miles but after 30 miles of driving would drop to 150 and keep depleting at a much faster pace than the actual driving. I know it’s anecdotal, but that was my experience. I needed to charge twice for a 270 mile trip. I drive the Taycan RWD PB+ on the way back and did not need to stop to charge. I still had 40 miles left when I got home which was incredible.

When you use the Porsche Range calculator, that configuration (Base Taycan, w/o performance+ battery, 21-inch wheels, 100% city driving) comes out to ~160miles of range:

Where can one find this range calculator?

Playing video games while driving killing efficiency I see.

Yes hands on steering wheel at all times with innodrive. It ain’t Tesla autopilot for sure.

This question about range-when-new seems to come up a lot, but it's in the manual.

Where can one find this range calculator?

It’s on the UK Porsche website. Scroll down to see range calculator. It is not showing up on USA website.

‘21 RWD, no Air suspension, Mission E’s, drive on normal mode. No performance battery.

Typically I get 180-240 miles based mostly on weather. Warm and sunny in Southern California and I’m sitting at Electrify as we speak with 230 miles at 95%

You need to update your Profile, due in June sounds like it is there!

My numbers are slightly better, but I have air suspension and I only drive in Sport Plus. I have hit 278 @ 100%, but normally it comes in in the 248-256 range.

My range jumped noticeably after driving about 500 miles around the Phoenix AZ USA area in a mix of city driving and 20-mile freeway commutes during the heat of the summer.

When I took delivery four weeks ago, the guess-o-meter was 212 miles at 100% SOC.

When I started the 280-mile drive from my home to Las Vegas, I charged the car to 92% SOC and had 256 miles on the guess-o-meter. As you can see from the photo, I had 570 miles on the odometer, my garage was still 100 F (38 C) in the morning, and the battery temperature was 87 F (31 C).

Details: 2022 RWD, outside temperatures ranging from 95 to 112 F (35 to 44 C), Performance Battery Plus, 20" Turbo Aero wheels, air suspension, normal drive mode at normal chassis height, A/C set at 60 F (16 C) with fan speed at #2 or #3 out of 6, seat ventilation always on full, fixed pano roof, thermal glass with 35% tint w/90+% heat rejection.

100% City driving.
...
I think the city driving is killing the EPA.

I don't think so. With city driving, you brake a lot and regenerative charging will restore power to your battery when you brake.
But the regenerative charging is limited on a Taycan during the first 1200 km, so you won't see the positive effect on your range until you get past the 1200 km.
I regularly get around 250 miles on a 100% charge, and 95% of my driving is at highway speeds. I bet if I were driving in the city, my range would be closer to 300 miles per 100% charge.

I have been super impressed with the range versus every other electric car I have driven which tend to massively over-estimate. We drove the Taycan 220 miles last weekend (each way) and the car arrived at the destination each time with 50 miles/19% remaining. This was 90% motorway driving. This has given me huge confidence to take it on longer journeys that I would previously have been reluctant to do.
