2020 Porsche Taycan Turbo Gets EPA Range Rating Of Just 201 Miles

Combined efficiency of 488 Wh/mi (303 Wh/km)!

Why the poor efficiency? Any guess on the plaid model S efficiency?

 

[viper2ko]

Lmao that's terrible

 

[PWlakewood]

But but but.......its a Porsche! Come on guys grab the cup and chug the koolaid.

Seriously those are horrible numbers.

 

[ams mike]

I was interested in it until i saw the numbers, range, price etc.

No thanks.

 

[mswlogo]

I can see it now.

Porsche/VW/Audi Dealers will use it as an example (excuse) as to why ICE (Probably Diesel) is superior.

Come over here and check out this V8 CO2 machine.

I'm a porsche fan, have owned many and still have one, but this is embarrassing. I bet a lot of people cancel their orders.

I can't imagine the range hit in the cold winter driving 75mph+. I bet the dealers are cringing as well. Imagine explaining to their customer that just dropped $200K+ that they should think of heat as optional in the winter if they have a 60-75 mile commute each way, a commute distance that is not uncommon on the east coast and in many other areas. And, with porsche's complete lack of charging network its all but rules out road trips.

Tesla should release the roadster ASAP, it will cost the same, have better performance and at a minimum double, up to triple, the range. That will make a statement and be an embarrassment to porsche.

So many of the "experts" keep talking about the competition, but this just proves there still isn't any.

Moron onamed matt farrah was on the joe rogan podcast claiming the taycan will get 300 miles of range

 

[thegruf]

so 200 miles range.
Knock off 20% for cold weather
=> 160 miles
Charge to 90%
=>144 miles
Dont run below 30 miles (so you can find a charger if needed)
=>114 miles

anything much over a 50 mile trip each way and you're into range anxiety
this is exactly why you need 300+ miles rated range.

Tesla seem to have moved the goalposts while Porsche were absolutely not benchmarking that P90D.

Still it is their 1st gen, at $180K the depreciation cost will be horrible, but their next effort will be better no doubt.

or more succinctly - it wont overheat because it's batteries wont last long enough for it to get hot !

It’s disappointing. I won’t be buying one and will be looking to get my deposit back.

And I'm sure many others will do the same. I did see that Porsche is questioning the numbers by the EPA and are doing there own tests. Wanna bet they come back with better numbers based on their own testing.

prescient

Will The Porsche Taycan Turbo Go Further Than The EPA States?

was hanging on for the Taycan, having had a less than stellar experince with Tesla historically, but majorly disappointed so have just picked up a lightly used inventory P100D last week for less than half the price and the balance can stay in the bank for another day.

Yup already read that and of course porsche said the numbers will be higher. Did you expect them to just leave it alone? Not a chance!

 

[Stirthepot]

If Porsche is confident and/or foolish enough to believe their own numbers, then they should offer buyers a guarantee = if they don't see those numbers they can return the car for a full refund.

 

[voltage]

So happy I bought a MS performance. Almost 1/2 the price of Taycan turbo and 348 miles of range. It’s really a steal compared to the competition.

 

[mrbulk]

Porsche makes really, really great gasoline-powered cars.
No doubt about it.
But they're like the oldest and finest cassette tape manufacturer that now must learn how to make CD's, while the competition is already making flash drives...

Moron onamed matt farrah was on the joe rogan podcast claiming the taycan will get 300 miles of range

I signed up for updates in October 2018 about the Taycan and I got an email from Porsche claiming it would have a 400 mile range. Unfortunately, I deleted the email......

 

[viper2ko]

Why would they not just use a bigger battery. At this price what's another 30k. 200 miles is just awful

 

[SMAlset]

I guess if you want to own a Porsche and have sit around looking nice or do short daily trips, well it a Porsche after all. Maybe they figure it will be a second weekend car for people. Hard to see this on the Autobaun...maybe that YT video where the Taycan had to exit to refuel was a hint?

 

[axhoaxho]

With 201 miles and $150k-$170k price, the Taycan Turbo is DOA.
