I only happened to turn this on last night and noticed that it is hardly heated but more "warmed" My Heated wheel on the BMW and Range Rovers got very nicely warm and snug however on the Taycan it just about warms up - almost like on a setting of 1-5 its a 1.

Is mine a fault or are all of them like this?

Yep, I have the heated option and it’s warm at best, our Range Rover Sport is much hotter, same for the seats as well.

This may be in reaction to previous models being too hot. Our Macan, GT4, and Cayman S Black Edition have screaming hot seats and the Macan has a hot, but tolerable, steering wheel.

Mine's good. Have nothing to compare with, but I'm happy with it.

Not as hot as a RR but hit enough. In the RR I have to turn it off as it gets too hot.

I would be curious to see if the temperature of the wheel heating varies at all with the ambient cabin temp. Not saying it does, just trying to think like a German engineer...

with massive battery depletion in cold weather. Us Scottish will be wrapped up with gloves on! No need for heating!! No battery to support that!!! Lol

Was backing up your point.
Taycan gets lukewarm, but Range Rovers get too hot. To the point where you need to turn it off.

Thanks gents. Seems that the Taycan heated wheel is a warm wheel not a hot wheel then :)
