Range improvement with warmer temperatures

[Zakirp]

Hi, are people getting better range during the warmer weather, I have seen a massive improvement on my Turbo S, from approximately 218 in the winter months to currently getting 254, I have noticed as the weather is getting warmer each time I charge getting a few extra miles.

Absolutely true. I've only just ordered my 2025 taycan 4s but I'm in my 7th year driving Elerctric with a model S. Temperature makes a huge difference due to the decreased air thickness when temperatures are warmer. Ideal temperature is about 25° (77F). Same with rain and strong headwinds.

Yep whilst it still comes up at 235ish on charge I’m getting 260+. Definitely improved as expected.

My range has increased this week as well.

It happens every summer in UK!

Give it a few more years and global warming will extend this luxury into spring as well.

Last week I used 50% battery to travel 129 miles mostly motorway driving (not great for range) which might equate to 258 miles of range overall. Guess-o-meter reported much lower but I suspect that's because prior trips had been much shorter and therefore higher consumption.

Seriously though, better to focus on the actual consumption rather than the guess-o-meter readout. Anything over 3.0 miles per kWh is respectable for a Taycan.
