Finally got some drag times (Draggy) for my Taycan Turbo S

[Mr.Smith]

So here is a before and after of the Redshift tune 60-130mph with approx 53% SOC stock and 64% soc Redshift tune.
The stock run was done from launch using launch control, the Redshift was done from around 50mph.

There was about 7 tenth of a second improvement from this preliminary run.

Same tire pressure and battery temp for both runs?
E-Tron GT has no battery temp gauge. Faceleft finally gets one and a battery % indicator

Tire pressures were the same (one run yesterday afternoon, new run today afternoon). Battery temperatures were also very close (94-96F on both days during the runs)
Battery SOC was not the same but not enough at that charge level to make much of a difference I think (53% Stock vs 64% Tuned)

On an unrelated note. I have never heard the car squeal tires this much since I bought it. Now it's doing that all the time under WOT lol
But I am on stock all seasons

Let's see how if affects the 0-60 and if the grip is a problem from 0

The biggest question is do you notice a sizable difference in the turbo S. Also curious to see the results at 85-100% state of charge and if the launch feels any different. I really do want this tune but have no faith in my car.

I am currently out of town is the only reason I'm not out time testing this with 90+% charge ?

There is a huge difference between 85% and 95% SOC on this car after 60mph. And this is on the completely stock car. I expect this to remain true even with the tune.

What I did not expect was any difference in launching power with the tune. I'll have to prep the car better to manage the torque I think.
I still did the same usual 2.7x second zero to sixty mph with the tune though, but I could feel and hear the tires squealing and screaming where they were usually quiet and almost deadhooking when it was stock.

To answer your question of if I feel a difference with a turbo S....yes very much so. To be honest even if this tune gave zero horsepower increase, the difference would be the just as intense with giving you a full 750hp with no throttle filtering at all times. Car feels completely different at all times

Got my pre-tune readings today. Not bad for only one run on all seasons with PSI at 42/45 front/back.

Your trap speed is pretty awesome! I'll be somewhat okay with that as my tuned trap lol

What was your soc?

 

[Lefty8235]

What was your soc?

Does that mean charge %? If so about 70%.

 

[ElectricV8Biturbo]

Oh wow that's some serious pulling power! I'll be in the mid to high 10s at 126/127mph with that soc

Maybe because his is a new Turbo S?

@Mr.Smith , You do have a point. What year is your car Lefty?

I remember reading about how the Tesla Plaid loses power by the time it hits 10K miles. But being that most owners do not drag test their cars and it is stupid fast, to begin with, most people will not notice the loss of power.

It’s a ‘24. I’m guessing I’m one of the last buyer of a new one before the next gen ‘25s were announced.

i knew they were coming but it was December last year and the dealer was crazy aggressive to move the car. Love it so far. About 3,000 miles on it.

Man I guess Porsche started testing the battery limits being pushed on the 2024s before the 2025s rolled out. You are definitely making more power than me and most on here. Also, you hold that power at a much lower state of charge than any electric vehicle I have ever tested.
