100% charge showing 175 mile range

[RickDC]

Hi all. Finally took delivery of my 4s and absolutely love it. However, something I noticed when I charged it for the first time at a rapid charger is that when it got to 100% the range showed 175 miles. Is that right? Also noticed the word 'overview' in the Charge menu in the PCM was in German!! I went out of the menu and then back in and it went back to English I didn't opt for the performance battery pack so its the standard 79kwh. To be honest I thought a full charge would show a range of 250 (which I know you wouldn't get in reality).

I have the 79 kwh and shows 217 miles at 100%

so far my (79 kwh) has been creeping up..started about 180 and lately showing about 220..I also expected 250 eventually (we will see)

I took delivery of my 4S 79Kwh in November last year and saw a full charge in the early days as low as 170; however, it’s gradually improved and is now regularly at 234-5 and if put in range mode 241.
AC and demisters take about 22 miles off the range while heated seats have no impact.

Keep in mind the “miles” is a guestimate based on conditions. Outside temperature, driving style, etc. As everyone says drive gently, drive in Range mode and give it time and watch it climb…its like a video game.

Just charged mine to 100% today and it shows only 355km. I’m mostly just city driving. Considering the fact that porsche charges 6000€ for Battery Plus which gives only extra 50-60 km it feels so unfare that it’s totally okay just to have the same amount of less real world range as promised on paper.

355 km is 222 miles which is not a lot for 100% SoC but not impossible if you mainly drive short distances (battery never reaches ideal temperature). I do not know which wheels you have, but 21"" Mission-E rims do not help either. How is the temperature in Tallinn these days?

It’s about 15 degrees Celsius. The car has 21” exclusive design wheels. I wouldn’t say its only very short distances, but just mainly city driving. I love driving this car but really pissed about the range...

With the weather further improving you are likely to gain some additional range.

I really do hope so. In november with +5 degrees i had a 230 km drive and when i reached the destination i had only 20 km left. No chargers on the way only in the destination so not very good

What I find interesting about this thread is that most people are determining their battery performance from the range prediction...

Exactly, we need

• ambient temperature
• terrain
• average speed
• consumption

then we can conclude driving style and check if the range prediction is good, or if there is a problem.

Fully agree. I wouldn't be surprised if all this information(and a lot more) is already available in some log file, but alas not accessible by us.

Mine ranges between 139 and 207.
In range mode and rolling a lot has got it over 200 but I never do any long journeys.
Trying to eek out the range for me defeats the object of driving a Porsche though.
Id be interested to see the range of a 911 driven hard. I bet its not much different?

I have the 79 kwh and shows 217 miles at 100%

My 4S is getting better with the warmer weather.
