Range Disconnect (Lower / Dropping Faster Than Expected)

[biohoodc]

Last roadtrip (Feb), with ~60 degree F ambient temps, my Taycan RWD 79.2 kWH batter was giving me ~245 miles of range on a 100% charge. This past week, on the exact same route, with ~85 degree weather, car registered 270 miles of range when I unplugged it but immediately went down to 230 miles of range pulling out of my driveway. Range barely budged. Drove in range mode, just like in Feb, same number of passengers, same amount of luggage, etc. Have not done the software update, so still running the same as what I had in Feb.

Any insights? The screen grab below also shows the disconnect, as based on my calculations, it should have been providing ~277 miles of range (this is the report from my actual drive).

The average consumption figure is more meaningful / reliable as the battery meter tends to be overly range optimistic especially after a charge (hence your actual reported range drop off).

Your standard Performance Battery (PB) will provide 71kWh available capacity which according to what you read / tests performed (all subjective of course) is anywhere between 231 miles and 276 miles).

With your quoted consumption above this is a more realistic 248.5 miles at 100% which is pretty darn good assuming the average is maintained.
