There is something missing from this. For MY2022 Porsche has done nothing to the battery chemistry or battery size to increase range and performance. Important if you value those factors. Shortly there are likely to be some comparisons with the Plaid and the Taycan may not show that well. Also some of the new Tesla changes are likely to migrate to the lesser models over time.

The styling and handling is important, but at some point you start to look like an aging movie actress. You need more than makeup to keep competitive. Now if your competitor started out uglier than you are, you might have a little extra time.

Tesla has no changes in batteries even on Plaid. They are depending on LG to come up with something in the future.

Porsche will start production of higher performance batteries by 2024 so it will be a while before it trickles down to the mass production cars.

Further more, we know that Porsche uses the best cell chemistry VW has to offer, not like other brands, where it can be a roll of the dice.

  • Optimized front axle decoupling in range and normal mode
  • Auto regeneration stays if you change drive mode
I wonder if these changes improve range?

The first does, the second doesn't. The first should increase range in Normal mode. I speculate this will increase the EPA range rating, if the test is still done in key down position.
