not great, but generally 2.5-3.1 mi/kWh ... going typically 10 mph over the speed limit ... In a typical long-drive day, 7 hr of drive time, avg 58 mph, 400 miles... [not sure if your question was for me or Jonathan]

A few extra photos from my trip... This was a picnic stop overlooking Lake Superior in northern Michigan... below: at Decorah, Iowa, we stumbled onto a Saturday auto show taking up several blocks of the main street for half the day... Lots of neat stuff there... This one really caught my...

No, I never use Range mode; it's too limiting for my likes. I have 19-inch aero wheels, yes, and won't use anything larger because of my many road trips. And I use ACC whenever possible on long road trips, which is probably 95% of the time.

I just finished a 3100-mile roadtrip to see family and friends (an annual trip). It covered eight states from Massachusetts to Minnesota, and I drove through Ontario twice between NY and Michigan (so skipped Ohio and Pennsylvania). I charged at sixteen different brand-name DCFC stations, plus...

I don't understand what these show...

It's too bad that Tom couldn't do the range test when the temps in NJ were in the single digits and teens this past month. Here in New England, with temps below 20 deg F, I was getting 170-180 miles of range in my 2021 CT4 with 20-inch wheels with winter tires. I got close to 165-170 miles...

The Tesla iPhone app and Plugshare both show that about 1/3 of all Tesla supercharger stations remain closed to non-Teslas... Not sure about the Porsche iPhone app; I don't use that for any charging, ever.

you miss my point... my point is that we're talking a single driver (Derek) moving from a gen-1 GTS to a gen-2 GTS.... so his range difference could be pretty useful to know, as he probably didn't change his driving habits from one car to the next...

I just go by how my own range in my Taycan varies drastically from the experiences of others -- journalist testers or real owners... Just a curiosity thing to see other's real-world driving experiences. Derek mentioned that his new GTS has much better range than his old one, so I'm interested...

understood, but I'm always interested in real-world owner trip data, in addition to data from journalist testers who have cars that are not their own (and in many cases are even pre-production vehicles).... And no two cars/battery packs are exactly alike...

nope, not skeptical, and I'm aware of all the online range tests... Just curious to hear everybody's individual figures. Over in the Macan EV forum, the range figures vary widely from owner to owner and vehicle to vehicle, and it's not obvious that it's entirely due to speed and/or temperature.

Thanks, and yes, I read through your trip logs. I just didn't/don't see the range figures, and how much state-of-charge you had after each charging session. I'm curious as to how much more range the new car has vs. your old one, all other things being equal (average speed, ambient temperature...

So you say that the range is greatly extended in your gen-2 GTS, but then (unless I missed something in this already-long thread) you don't quantify that at all. Please give us some numbers to bolster your improved-range claim.

A lot of Porsche EV enthusiasts (probably most) would disagree with you about one-pedal driving. Porsche should provide one-pedal driving as an option on its EVs, period; then the driver can elect whether to use it or not. Saying that sports cars shouldn't have one-pedal driving is absurd...

The only reason/purpose I'd want for paddle shifters on a BEV would be to shfit between full 2-pedal driving to full 1-pedal driving, with (say) 3 variations in between. Having owned an EV with one-pedal driving (where you can come to a complete stop without touching the brake pedal), I really...

I find that EA is much more reliable now in 2025 than it was a year ago... They've really upped their game. I can't fool around with the slow-for-our-Taycans Tesla-"Supercharger" speeds when I can access an EA charger nearby that charges so much faster, has longer cables for easier port...

roughly 1/3 of all Tesla Superchargers remain off-limits to non-Teslas... I don't know if type-3 chargers are included in that grouping... Lots of Tesla Supercharger stations in the northeastern US remain off limits to our Taycans (according to the PlugShare and Tesla apps)...

I need some ground clearance, which is why I have a Cross Turismo. I had two low-slung Panameras previously, and I kept scraping bottom on driveway dips and on speed bumps (despite having air suspension and lift modes on both); this hasn't happened once yet in my Cross Turismo. The Cayenne EV...

I posted a detailed comparison of the 2025 Macan 4 with my 2021 Taycan CT4 at: https://www.macanevowners.com/forum/threads/article-macan-4s-vs-taycan-4-cross-turismo-compared-which-is-the-better-electric-car-downtown-magazine.20321/#post-308700 Some of my comments are personal preference, and...
