While this is not a typical loop-style accurate efficiency test that we normally do, hopefully this will give you some insight as to the consumption in fast EVs when cruising quickly. With this math, the Taycan typically travels around or just under 300 miles at highway speeds in this configuration, and we would be projecting around 90 miles of total range driving with this speed, including the slow construction zones!

Hi Kyle. Great video. My average consumption in Germany mostly on the Autobahn with innodrive set at 150 (sometimes going faster) since putting on summer wheels is about 2.6 miles per kWh. This is a turbo cross tourismo. Continue with those great videos.

2.6.. not great!

This test really is unique. Thanks. I always wonered how quickly one would run out of energy.

I recently drove across Germany and then back again in an ioniq 5. Worst consumption was 2.2 miles per kWh. 80 mile long stretch at 90 mph average with many squirts to 115 mph (top speed) when possible, due to traffic, construction sites and the fact that autobahns are not unrestricted for long stretches. Instead there are 120 km/h and 100 km/h etc. stretches and then back to unrestricted for a bit.

I’ve never seen Kyle having so much fun driving. Great video

Very cool video. The Porsche did very well with thermal management. I grew up in Germany and I am often there. I like driving on the Autobahn. Besides that Germans are very disciplined, have lane discipline and look into their mirror before overtaking which you kind of mentioned, you should had mentioned that the Autobahn itself is very well build. Don’t think it would be safe to drive 170mph on an US Interstate. At least I would not want to hit a pot hole at that speed.

I'm not sure if you live in the US now, but I haven't had a pothole issue experience on the Interstate Highway System. Definitely not as well maintained off the interstate though. My wife is German and I love traveling on the Autobahn and seeing those beautiful 3 line signs telling me to go as fast as I want. But the main reason we lowered the speed limits was to ration gas after the Iran crisis in the 1970s. I think it's a little silly now because most people are driving 80-85 mph anyway. If I drove the speed limit on a US highway, I feel like it would be unsafe as everyone would just pass you by. I agree about the lane discipline though. When I'm driving in Germany, people immediately get out of the way if I am approaching them - almost as if they are sorry to have inconvenienced me, whereas in the US, they'll get mad at you for "riding their ass" even though they're in the left lane. It's like there is no fast lane in the US. There are just 3 or 4 lanes and they're all the same haha. Cheers from Florida.

So at ~260km/h what is the approximate kW being used to maintain that speed? Probably easy to figure out, but not for me :) Just having too much fun :) ;) So I came up with approximately 84 kW average power output to go that distance in that amount of time. If anyone cares... 1.77 km/kWh, used 62 kWh (of usable 83 kWh) to go 110 km in ~.74 hrs. 62 kWh/.74 h... tada 84 kw ~113 hp(?). Does it make any sense or am I terrible at math or does anyone care?

similar to IX travelling at 200 km/h takes 3 times more energy than 120 km/h

So, your range at speed ( 140-150 mph)is way less than 100 miles.

Actually the difference between a turbo and a turbo S is that the turbo S has a uprated inverter over the turbo. It's not just software.

Tesla overheats very quick. After Taycan increases their range, I think this will be by my first EV. There’s rumors that they want to make a long range version.

I’m quite sure the M3 Performance has nothing on the Turbo, once you get rolling. Even the 4S is faster in all metrics other than 0-60, afaik 😄

While performance is indeed impressive it is worth mentioning that keeping your battery at or above 35C is literally toasting it, and if you start charging it at that temperature it is even worse for its longevity. A battery that's kept above 40C for 1 year at 40% SOC loses about 15% of its total capacity compared to 25C 4% capacity loss. 40C at 100% SOC will lose 40+% of total capacity in 3 months. There is an extensive study on Li-ion batteries and how it's affected by charging/discharging rates by a University in Missouri-Columbia and is well worth a read.

Dream on, dude! You really have no fucking clue about Porsche engineering! Porsches are developed here in Germany, for and on the Autobahn! Porsche Taycans actually have brakes, which are working properly at such high speeds for such a crazy heavy vehicle, whereas the Tesla Model S Plaid is simply useless here in Germany, with its fucking ridiculously non-existent brakes! Tesla Model S Plaid brakes are simply trash and potentially dangerous on the German Autobahn, period! On the Autobahn some cars drive much faster than 200 mph on the left lane, against some trucks with only 60 mph on the right lane. A speed delta of 140 mph or 220 kmh is something, which a Plaid just can't handle with its fucking shitty and useless brakes, dude! Honestly, German authorities should or even must force Tesla, to take this shit on wheel vehicle from the German market, period! The Model S Plaid is too dangerous for the German Autobahn, because having only a stupidly fast EV without almost any functioning brakes at high speed is something, which is too shitty dangerous for German high speed roads! Porsche due to its 70 years experience of performance vehicles is on a whole different level, when it comes to driving, braking and steering such a heavy EV! I think it's still a huge difference, getting a performance EV from a 19 times Le Mans 24 hours overall winner, who has some more 110 class victories at LeMans, instead of getting a shitty big mouth one trick pony vehicle from an EV startup company called "Tesla", which still has no fucking clue how a true performance EV handles, brakes and drives! Tesla Plaid models are just like trash on wheels, and just good enough for stupid drag racing idiocy in the USA. Just like its CEO, Tesla still builds trash build quality too... LOL.

I drove an M3 (F80) on the A-bahn in 2015…while I could go 155 (gps) I was comfortable at about 130. Traffic and sight lines were the main issues.

Interesting doing a test in Germany. My experience there was always that we in the US have better options for speed. While in Germany, I was always in a construction zone, reduced speed because of cities, traffic, or just not able to go fast for very long. When my German friends come visit us in Los Angeles, they no longer fly into LA, but rather fly into either Arizona or Nevada and rent a car to drive fast through the desert. It is actually easier to go fast here in the West than in Germany.

In general I congratulate you on your videos however, this one is the most irresponsible video I have seen in a long time. Yes, you are right germans are very disciplined and look in the mirror before changing lanes. But non germans like you, are permitted to drive there too. At 270 you move 75m a second and at night it is impossible to judge the speed of lights coming up from behind. A truck driver may look in the mirror and there is a light far far away, by the time the truck is moving it will be too late for you to stop. Most reasonable people will not drive this fast at night, and doing so with one hand on the wheel while talking to the camera is beyond my understanding. This kind of videos encourage others to do the same with maybe deadly consequences, which gives the the officials who want to put a speed limit on our Autobahn more reasons to do so. If you want to do high speed tests, the Nuerburg Ring welcomes you. Don't do it on a public road endangering non participating people. A German Model 3 driver

Are you gatekeeping driving fast on the Autobahn? Not sure about your experiences, but I usually do long distances at night and most people are speeding like crazy. Separating between 'German' and 'Non-German' drivers seems pretty weird, it's not like German driving school tells you how to drive at 270.

@@triangulatedcircle Ich bin grundsätzlich für verantwortliches fahren, was ein Tempolimit nicht nötig machen würde. Leider war mein Kommentar wohl nicht ganz klar. Let's continue in english for the non german speakers. Kyle mentioned the discipline of the germans while driving on the Autobahn. I only pointed out that there are other people too. The truck driver is just an example of speed difference in conditions (night) where you and the truck is limited to the distance of the car lights, not a reference to country of origin . I have driven thousands of kilometers on the Autobahn at speeds past 200 km/H over the last 40 years with a some hard or even emergency braking due to traffic moving into my lane. My observation was, that a high percentage of those license plates where non german plates, maybe caused by drivers not expecting the car from behind is moving this fast. Avoiding something like a tire part or other debris is already challenging in daytime, almost impossible at more than 250 km/h at night. Just my personal opinion. I hope this cleared up some misunderstanding.

I notice a drop off in mpg once i get above 75mph or so in my 4cyl fossil. Really high speeds in autos are dumb--just take an airplane and go 500mph or even high speed rail (if you are in Europe).
