171 mile Range, I expected better.

The dealership just called, I get it back tomorrow so will follow all your advice and track real world range.

It has 21 inch wheels, it was cold and has likely been abused by staff and customers as a demo so we'll see how it progresses. I'm likely just paranoid due to it developing so many faults so quickly. Fingers crossed all is well tomorrow!

FWIW I also have 21" wheels and I drive mine as hard as I can, all the time.

I've been experimenting this month without using the accelerator regen. I am currently showing 215 miles at 85%. It has been fairly cold this month.

Next month I am going to try with accelerator regen on and see what happens to range.

These are my two high scores for range, both taken last summer. I got my biggest degradation in estimated range after a long road trip from Dallas to Arkansas for Porsche Palooza. Since that trip the temperatures have cooled so I'm hoping for a return to my highs when it warms up.

@DerekS Is the RWD supposed to get slightly better range? I have a 4s...

Beats me. I can only speak to the RWD. 4S has more motors so consumes more, but also potentially has more regen so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Fwiw, my F150 shows expected range based on last use. If I've pulled a boat, my estimate on the new tank will be very low. If I've sipped the gas on a long trip, I'll show 600+ miles of range, which isn't actual either.

580 miles round trip yesterday/today, mostly motorways and not hanging about , approx 200 miles range, average outside temp 3-4 degrees C. CT4S, PB+, 20". If I was taking it easy would get +10-15% range but my strategy is to travel fast and charge fast on Ionity.

Looks like you're in Scotland during the winter.

You will at minimum loose 20% of your battery capacity due to the cold weather.

 

[Taycan_friend]

How many miles are you having right now, @Trussy ?
New car needs about 250-300 miles until recuperation starts.
Also, you should use recuperation (Automatic) for better range.

There is no efficiency/range effect of the different recuperation modes.

There is no efficiency/range effect of the different recuperation modes.

IMO, it is, since Automatic mode provides more efficient coasting.

Coasting is very efficient. In any casee you need to slow down and you do so in three different recu modes without braking to much so that you would need to accelerate again (which can happen on strong drive pedal regen cars which call themselves "one pedal driving"), all three recuperation modes operate on exactly same efficiency level.

looks an absolute beast, beautiful car.

Thanks for the replies @B61 and @ciaranob.

I should have elaborated, it is an ex demo from Porsche GB supplied by Porsche Edinburgh, 21 reg with 1293 miles on the clock. I've done 200 of those in 2 and a half weeks.

350kW 93kWh RWD
Performance Battery Plus
On Board DC Charger 150kW

Heater, 360 camera, full beams, other safety features and Porsche connect app all been malfunctioning.

Fear I've been sold a pup and the battery is faulty too.

I agree you may have been sold a pup maybe...
I haven't seen a demo car sold with such low mileage. Normally kept for 6/12 and 5000 miles or so.
Almost looks like they wanted to get rid of it sharpish??!?!

That‘s why I said that A mode provides more efficient recup. In normal recup mode, you have to accelerate more
btw: I haven’t found the 3rd recup mode.

Drive pedal recu off (coasting)
Drive pedal recu on
Auto recu

Three settings in the drive recu.
On the steering wheel, auto recu comes with long press on the battery/recu button
