This is how you deal with Summer in Dubai

[W1NGE]

Let’s compare battery temps this summerfor the UAE and other hot weather folk. My daily commute is 130Km and the car sits in an outdoor shaded area while charging at work. Should be interesting to see range numbers in the first summer with AC and radiators working hard.
Currently ambient temperature is around 29-34 C in the day and the battery temp maxs out at 32C at highway speeds.

Use the range checker for your particular Taycan to get a good indication - available before you bought the car.

Lots of fast driving and hard braking (the UAE way) on level roads won't lead to spectacular range.

My guess is around 234 miles more or less worst case with ambient 35C (I know it will be much higher) and 70% motorway driving.

The max i have charged my car is 91%, with that i got around 420Km (262miles), i drove it for around 300km and the range meter was still saying i have 105km

That's pretty good but still not summer yet. See how you go in July / August.

How does it compare to the range calc tool?

I have never found a more opportune time to say:

Hot Damn.

What was the battery temp?!?!?

And range/consumption?

You can feel the heat from above. I installed a 30% tent to help but still. I can’t find an aftermarket shade like the Tesla’s

That's why I put blackout foil on the outside of the pano roof. The heat was too much.
