Newbie - (used) Taycan connectivity

[Gkwan]

Ignore the headline guessometer reading after charging particularly when the ambient temps are low. Depending on Drive Mode and AC setting this number will quickly deplete. Follow your consumption data to see what happens when in cold weather and you make a short journey - consumption will drop to < 2 mi / kWh for example. Overall in ideal conditions you should expect something like 2.7 - 3.0 mi / kWh with a Turbo (sensible driving) for a range of up to 215 miles in winter and 235 miles in summer (give or take) - all with the Performance Battery Plus.

Note that these screenshots are from current gen Taycan J1.2 (so no App Centre or Alexa etc). Tap Car:

Then tap Trip. Graphic is animated when you move and should be on J1.1 Taycans. I had 2 J1.1s - first one (MY21 4S)went through the uPdate and the 2nd (MY23 GTS ST) already had this:

Thanks Adrian, I'm pretty sure I have text instead of this graphic but I'll check again & take picture.
On your image the data doesn't look right 65km/h average for 65km driven should be 1h, not 2h25, and only 4kwh/100km seems completely crazy ?
I get 40kw/100km with battery temp 3°c (not raising much, unless I DC charge obviously), small distances per trip (usually less than 20km) since 2 weeks, car sleeping outside for now (-4 to +4°c these last 2 weeks), using pretty often smartlift, cabin conditioning in "eco" mode, wheel & my seat heating, driving usually in normal & sport, with a few accelerations here and there for fun (cautiously due to weather), but I haven't been driving 2h on the highway at 150km typically
I think it's in average displaying ~320km @90%, while I'm effectively getting more like 230-250km.

It also seems to loose a few km range just by sitting idle for half or full day.

Screenshots are from the Porsche simulator (I don't have my Taycan anymore) so don't take the numbers seriously.

Could be you are missing some further software upgrades. Is your dealership an official Porsche one - I'm beginning to get a little suspicious?

Get your battery state of health (SoH) report from your dealer (should have been provided). Could be your battery has degraded more than is normal after 5 years - should be around 90% of original when new.

It's definitely there on a 2023 J1.1 - though it looks different:

Something is not right. I recommend getting the OBD reader and collect the data for us to examine. You can PM me after you buy it and I am happy to help with setup and data collection. Simple process the OBD reader that is connected to the phone using free CarScanner App.

This is from Amazon US, but we have many owners in other places using it with no issues:

The data will tell me your battery health (SoH), cell health levels, and battery energy to see if these are all in spec. The car should not be losing any reported range called Display (SoC) while parked. The SoC can change dramatically as you drive for a few minutes but does not change while the car simply not used even for weeks.

Thanks Tophamn, that's how it looks on mine too

Thx Adrian, mine looks like what Tophamn is showing, I guess it's "ok" then ? (maybe your pictures come from a MY25/26 Taycan?) - I'll take pictures tomorrow.
Yes, it's the official PD in the west of Paris.
SoH report : they gave me a one pager with a stamp, I'll PM it to you & Sergey then

Thanks Sergey,
I hoped that 91% SoH certificate I got would save me the trouble of going through that procedure, but I guess I'll have to do it to be sure, thanks for offering your help !
I discussed further with a French guy whose Taycan is under same conditions as me (car sleeping outside with freezing temps, same battery temps etc), we have similar values in km, but mine seems to "actually" do a lot less than what the estimation is showing, and the weird thing is it doesn't change the figures over time (since 2 weeks).

I got your message. We will figure it all out for you.

Thanks here too Sergey & Adrian
