271 miles! 100% charged. What’s your range shown?

[W1NGE]

For me, the battery estimate is accurate based on my driving style after 1 year of ownership, so I have learned to trust it. 300 miles isn’t a pipe dream

I don’t think you need to raise the white flag at all, as there so many contributing factors to the actual range.

The following is what Porsche would calculate for the 'best possible' range on a 21" RWD (slightly more for a 4S with 20")

Reality is somewhat different in your case - you should promote this to Porsche - is it really possible to re-cup 63 miles or so with gentle driving?

I think I'm becoming a little paranoid on this topic

Probably. Drive it to enjoy it, but know that conservative driving can help get better range.

Ha ha.

I do drive conservatively - stick to limits 99% of the time (average speed cameras for most of my journey) so that doesn't really explain it.

Perhaps the other 4S owners here can post what range they are getting?

Folk have on other threads and I've been asking for consumption data - no one has quoted your spectacular 3.6 mi / kWh (yet) and most are in the 3.3 (or less range) - all prior uPdate.

 

[mandoyoda]

I’ve hit 3.6 miles per kWh a few times for long trips, but more so after the update.

I range anywhere from 2.6-2.9 on my 4S. I drive spiritedly at times...on/off ramps, usually during a wide open highway I'll get up to 90-95mph.

I've asked this before, but I wonder if certain options affect range, like RAS and PTV+

2.5 to 2.7 miles per kWh. Mostly in Sport or Sport+ mode wih no thought given to range. With an 80% charge about 197 to 200 miles. Range estimates on the dash appear to be slightly conservative.

Getting 179 miles at 57% SOC, which comes up to an estimated 314 miles! Let’s see if I get this the next time I charge to 100%.

Unbelievable!

Btw why are you using the old Connect App?

New app doesn’t have the best reviews. Connect app has the iOS widget. I’ll migrate when Porsche sunset the Connect app later this year.

It's works well post uPdate - connects all the time etc. No widget but I previously gave up on it and stopped using on my iPad.

I’ll give it a go

Question. When you are posting the range with 100% charge, are you doing it with the climate control system switched on or turned off? Seems to make a significant difference. My 2022 4S Cross Turismo (with the PCM update) shows 265 miles with climate set to 74 degrees. Turn the climate system off and it jumps right up to 280. So, how are you guys reporting your data?

 

[mandoyoda]

Posting with air conditioning off. Eco mode usually shaves off 4 to 8 miles, whilst air conditioning is substantially more.
