AMIC numbers are based on 75 year old grandmother driving
EPA numbers are based on real world Porsche driving.
Who here buys a Taycan to drive 55 mph in the granny lane?
A Taycan is made to be driven hard.
Porsche blew the design of the Taycan. It made it too small (think Panamera size) and hence battery too small and hence range stinks. In the winter it will be around 140 miles of range. Having owned a number of EVs I can tell you for fact - in the winter in freezing temps you will lose about 33% of range and if you push it hard, like a Porsche is made to be driven, you will lose 25 to 30% of range.
The back seat would have had more leg room had they made the Taycan the size of the Panamera, and the larger battery would have pushed the real world range closer to 300 miles - the magic number.
What is troubling is that the Tesla Performance Model S gets over 150 more miles of range and at the Nurburgring around the 14-mile lap the Model S buried the Taycan. The upcoming Tesla Roadster will bury both of them.......by a wide margin.
