Two years of ownership and still in love

[RehobothTaycan1]

Just hit two years with my Taycan Base PB+ a few days ago. Still loving this car every day. Aside from a brake module issue that was fixed early on, no other issues. Range continues to be excellent - see recent picture where I fully charged in advance of a trip North. All of the software updates worked without issue. Carplay connects much faster with latest update - within a few seconds. Couldn’t be happier!

Congrats….you need to drive it more.

Your mileage almost as bad as mine - early retirement basically cut my annual mileage in half!

Hey if you have or can get a hold of an OBDII for the Taycan and the free Carscanner app I'd love to get reading of your SoH posted on the thread here in the forum:

Impressive range! I'm getting just over 300 miles on a full charge. 15months of ownership and 12K miles in a RWD PB+ and I feel the same! Love this car!

Are you guys doing 300 miles on a charge or close to it because you are RWD and PB+, I am wondering what is the highest anyone got on a Turbo under optimal conditions with attempt to max the range, or at least give me an estimate of possibility. Would 250 miles be possible for me on MissionE wheels and say doing Range mode the whole time?

PB as in small battery pack and not PB+?

In awe of your range.

Sorry! It's PB+

I updated my original post - thanks!

GTS ST with Mission-E 21". After rather careful summer driving and charging to 85% or so, I get a calculated range for 100% around 265 miles (425 km). Normal mode. I think I have never used Range - when navigating to somewhere the PCM sometimes suggests Range as alternative setting but it seems to never save me any energy for the planned trip so I don't bother.

Spot on the middle of my ranges in Normal mode too - chart below 'guessometer' estimates over 1.5 years after charging to 85% at home calculated out to 100% with AirCon off to see a max.

@SergeyIndy

In summer months I think you'll have no problem getting similar range potential of 250-270 miles - 300 mi for most is not very realistic and requires a 'hyper-miling' type of driving style imo. If thats your thing (and there's nothing wrong with that !), it obviously is possible as some have demonstrated but for me a relaxed driving experience and setting/planning realistic charge stops (rarely over max. 210-220 mile legs; more typically max. for me 180-190 miles) is far more enjoyable.

Also in respect Range mode - honestly you might get an addl 8-10 miles max. added range but after that uPdate campaign the difference between Range and Normal fairly minimal - FAR more relevant is the driving style and then environmental factors (climate/terrain, external temp/weather, wheel-tire combos etc).


Some of the data below chart needs updating.

I think 250 is reasonable. I just recently covered 135 miles using 50% in my 21 Turbo S with a mixture of highway and city using AC Eco.

I have same spec as the OP, but my range is maybe 280 if I were to charge to 100% (which I rarely do). My vehicle is about 15 months old and I only charge at night, so I don't prep the battery. I don't really need a lot of range but wondering why such a big delta from others?

That is helpful. I just need to know for emergency reserve. I am good with 225 knowing I can go a little more if needed, but by no means want to hypermile. Also, looks like Range mode is not much help unless someone is stretching single digit miles (10 or less), but then what happens if the meter shows 0 miles left, would the car still go a mile or two or just shuts down, not planning for this but wonder if anyone got that close and what happens.

Lighter weight of RWD makes a ton of difference. I rarely charge to 100%, charge mostly at home, and program to stop at 85%.
