I am suspicious of the summary I get on mine.
It reads out 3.0 m/kWh but looking at individual trips only 1 or 2 have been that high - 2.2 to 2.6 is more normal so it is impossible for the reported consumption to be an average, maybe a "best case trip".
Maybe it’s more aspirational than historical. 🙃

I thought the brakes were supposed to just about outlast the car given regen etc. Unless you're on the track every weekend?
agreed how have you already when through on set of brakes? Also thought brakes were a 8-9k swap when they needed changed.

I have driven 31.6K miles in three and a half years. I'm retired and drive the car every day. Two pairs of front all season tires and one set of rear all season tires. No track work.

22k miles in 17 months. Daily driver, not so much weekend anymore - unless it’s for family and/or long trips. There were a couple of those (1k+/trip), and many one- or two-stoppers. Love driving it, though I’m torn between it and the 911; the latter gets the nod on Friday and weekends (rain or shine).

Porsche Taycan Taycan average miles driven over 3 years... what's yours average annual mileage? IMG_1788

Still on the original tires, though ~4k were on a winter wheel set.

35xx miles for me. That’s about par for all my cars. For my last car, I drove it for 8 years and had about 30k miles.

EVs are not for everyone, I have over 40K in under 2 years on my 2022 Taycan 4 CT and have only purchased one set of brakes (1.5K) and just mounted my 3rd set of tires. I am a little more "frugle" than your average Taycan driver and buy my tires from Ebay @ 9/32s, I find my tires with date codes within the last year, 2 max and under $100.00 each. I recently purchased a "like new" set of rear tires for $170.00 delivered. My largest expense to date the $800.00 4-wheel alignment just completed by my dealer. My office management has installed 4 level 2 chargers, 80% of my charging is done at zero costs with the other 20% from my home at a low cost due to our 7,200k solar panel system. I checked and my costs for driving 40K is just under $3,000.00 or $244.00/month without electricity costs.

My driving also supports the use of an EV, I drive to an office 5 days a week that is 20 miles from home, I am in California and am able to utilize the HOV lane to and from work. The weekends are longer drives, mostly under 50 miles in each direction. Not everyone has a lifestyle that supports the use of an EV but for me, it works (until I sell it and take a bath).
So your Taycan needed a full set of brake pads at 40K miles? That sounds unusual no? The design of the braking system was that the brakes are likely to time out (6 years) before they wear out….unless you had some regular track days sprinkled in?

Here’s the data from our MY 2022 GTS. Took delivery in June 2022 so almost 2 years. My wife primarily dives it in town. Given the lack of a good charging infrastructure in Texas we don’t use it on road trips.

i only changed tyres.
porsche dealer changed several times my PCM(5), curved display (2),heater(4), dc port (2), passenger display (1), dc converter (2). Al in warranty, i have also extended warranty for 5 years. Good for the next one.
