If I remember correctly, my pressures are specced on the decal at 42 (front) and 45 (rear). Are yours different?
39 and 38 according to the decal. The car was delivered mid-October and early December the low-pressure alarm went off: 35/36. Reading on this forum that a slightly-above-spec tire pressure improved range, I increased mine accordingly.

As the decals don't differentiate for wheel/tire sizes (I have 21 Summers and 20 Winters), then I guess its a difference between the TurboS vs the 4S. That's a pretty big difference I think!

Decal pressures are for full load. Partial load values are lower - you can get them in the PCM menus. IIRC it's 38/38 for the 21" rims.

Is this label somewhere in the car?

Disregarding the info on tyre pressure for a moment. Car is good for four persons but only if they weigh 75 kilos each! That does not leave any room for any luggage at all for a trip. And where would you find 4 adults weighing less than 75 kilos each, to go on a trip.

Is this correct?

Hey all. About 3 months / 2000 miles into my 4s ownership and overall thrilled. Question for the chat: I’m getting an avg of 2.5 miles / kWh - is that most folks experience? I drive fast whenever on the highway (80-ish) and have done a bit of Launch Control - but this seems like poor consumption figures to me. Also, my max charge is 215 @ 100%...thoughts and stories would be appreciated. Edit: I am in NY so temps have been 30-50F.
My consumption for my first month was 30.0 kWh / 100 km (2.1 miles / kWh) for a little more than 1300 km with a lot of preheating (it take almost every time 5% off the battery). I live uphill in Swiss mountains and the average temperature was around 0°C (32°F). My range with a 82% is around 280 km (so it would give a 213 miles on 100%)

Also Mamba Green, the race stripe on the steering wheel, and the message on the vanity plate probably add another 30 miles of range.

Love this. I knew I was missing some efficiency because I forgot to do the white stripe on the steering wheel to match my Carrara white exterior.
I was told by my 12 year old that my tag easily adds 20%. ?

That’s odd, the UK technical spec says total payload 660kg. Unladen weight 2220kg, permissible gross weight 2880.

Maybe it’s a North American thing.

Don't belive the technical spec for unladen weight if you have any options (I believe most of us have :CWL: :CWL: :CWL: :CWL:) as my Taycan Turbo weighs 2457 kg (5417 lbs) empty and my payload is 423 kg (5 larges adults without luggage ;)) , for those interested you'll see below my "EG-Übereinstimmungsbescheinigung" (CoC, EC Certificate of Conformity)

Yes, that's a photo of the exact decal on my car (42 psi Fronts/ 45 psi Rears /21 inch wheels / TurboS). Was that not clear?

I was surprised to see the maximum weight of occupants and cargo! 300 kg for a car that can seat 4 persons.

Maybe all Taycan owners should get a free membership of Weight watchers as well?? ?

If so, I'm in trouble!

BTW - The Cirrus SR22 I just sold was also a "four seater", and its max payload with full fuel was only about 350 Lbs! At least in an overweight car you are not going to fall out of the sky...
