7600 miles since purchase last June. I am surprised I seem to be on the high mileage side.
I am going to guess that at least 200 of those miles were extra driving to find a charger.

Interesting data! Here is my comparison:
1. When originally purchasing (Taycan S, mid-2020), the residuals estimated for the purpose of leasing were terrible. I actually thought they made a math mistake. It was if they though the car would tank and were effectively refusing to lease.
2. My...
Please see other posts, including a comparison between ideal-case (my assessment) in warm weather, and actual case (my driving) in cold weather.
Two quick points (see the other posts and make your own evaluation of what the drivers are reporting):
--your range in cold weather drops...
Kingse, your experience is matching mine.
I have used--at least 3 times--Chevy dealers late at night for emergency charging. Also obscure library lots.
My experience in Michigan (temperature in degrees Fahrenheit) in a taycan S:
--mostly highway driving, very cold (under freezing): loss of about 20%, meaning 190 practical range even when fully charged, and possibly 180 miles--not the 240 shown when fully charged.
--when 50-60 degrees, same...
Duly noted!
Now, my experience this weekend with the same car, same state, nearly same route, but temperature is 50 degrees rather than under 20.
Getting pretty much 100 miles actual to 100 miles estimated, meaning about 240 max miles on the 94Kw battery, Taycan S.
This implies--again, same...
I'm happy to see this, but think this is close to ideal conditions:
" I kept an average cruising speed of 75 mph...
... in Range mode
... while the A/C was in Eco mode at 20C/68F...
...the battery temperature was 19C/66F at start and increased further to 25C/77F during the trip."
Plus, you had...
I have an early 4S. It is a fabulous driving car, very fast, and attracts attention. Under optimum conditions, it is a game-changing vehicle. If you spend $100K+ on a Taycan 4S, you have arguably the world's best vehicle of its type. The 4S all wheel drive system is great, too. (See note on...
I have multiple issues with charging at EA facilities. Problems include:
--Connect doesn't connect
--Charging NA app doesn't connect
--Nobody answers phone on Porsche service
--EA chargers that advertise 350 KW will only go to 75KW, or on a good day 150KW
My workarounds:
--close out completely...
