Heavy right foot club

[GtechRob]

I'm definitely on the "drive it like you stole it" end of the spectrum.

Currently showing 210 miles for a full charge (have battery plus).

Anyone got lower?

I’m doing 38kW/100km atm

I bow down to your bat shit craziness!

Dropped off my son at school last night - return trip to oxford from Northamptonshire - 1.8mi/kWh.

I'm the other end and would get same range on a day like today (1C).

Driving style only impacts consumption and not estimate before you consume.

If we both started with 210 miles I'm sure I'd get further due to more sedate driving.

Not particularly proud to be in this club, just can't help it.

All time low..

On a small distance it’s easy to have a big consumption.
I have it on a longer one on highway

And now the car is saying that I can’t reach a charger that is at 250km (155 miles) from here even at 100%.
And I was not that fast for me, I usually do that trip in 7h with an ICE.

With a roofbox in winter and in bad conditions, even in range mode and A/C in eco plus, you have to slow down a lot to be able to reach the chargers.

yeah that is good going for 8+ hour trip. Hats off to you sir!

For me, being able to fully enjoy the performance without guilt is part of the EV appeal.

Putting my old Targa into Sport+ and wailing on it always gave me that tiny nag in the back of my head about how wasteful it was.

Tires at 33 psi?!

 

[HelpCarsMark]

My commute to work is 12 miles there and back mostly dual carriage way so average consumption is 0.7 kWh/mi

 

[O2TheL]

Agree that's a bit low. Screen shot taken while car is outside at work and 30DegF right now. Fronts show 38psi.
I'll give 'em a top up tonight

100% agree. also lack of noise avoids me getting "that look" from my better half when pressing on (came from an alfa giulia quadrifoglio).

Look at the Total numbers and ideal if you've never reset since day 1. Short journey readings only depress.

What a refreshing thread. I’ve seen so many discussions on how to eke out the miles and I’ve just thought to myself ‘Why on earth are people spending all this money on an electric Porsche? A model 3 would give them at least 60 miles more range, a superior charging network and £40k to £80k in change!’

I’ve no idea what my range or consumption is but I do know that there’s a 3 mile stretch on my way home each day that provides an amazing set of bends with fabulous elevation changes (a real highlight is a long uphill straight just after a right hander with an adverse camber). I always switch on the sports sound and typically select Black Sabbath’s Paranoid as my soundtrack for that bit of my journey. I’d love to try and beat the 2:48 that the track runs for but sadly, it’s a farming area and I often encounter obstacles, (today it was a farmer on a quad-bike with a sheep dog and flock of sheep!) so, I have to take it safely. All the same, the car winds itself up, down and round so beautifully and the smile on my face is nothing compared to the smile inside!

One other thought though. The Turbo I drove on my experience day showed 178 miles for 95% when I got in it and if any Taycan is driven with complete disregard for range, it has to be the experience cars.

My first through here was that your tire pressure at 33 psi seems very low but not sure what sizes your running (my 21"s need to be in the low to mid-40's psi) Might be adding more rolling resistance !
