I think 280-320 miles is the sweet spot for range. Over 320 is too much, too big of a battery that you don't need 95% of the time, meaning your daily drive. And besides, after 2 hrs of driving on the highway, 3 hrs max, I'm ready for a break.

@@777Outrigger While I agree with too much weight being pulled around, if the battery pack energy density increases, it's a great addition. New Taycan battery pack weighs a tiny bit less that old generation while the capacity has increased a decent amount. I'd say a combination of higher density batteries and a better charging curve will greatly improve the long road trip experience of most EVs. And of course the charging network needs to keep up and improve. To non EV owners the mandatory 15 minute stop every 90 minutes (on open roads in Texas where everyone goes 85-90 mph) is not justifiable.

@@user-my4xu4gf1z Don't give me too much "credit". Were I younger and rich I might go for one of the Porsche EVs over a Tesla, especially if I could get the "station wagon" Porsche here in the States, but as a retiree with limited means who values performance and beauty (think Porsche) but usually prefers comfort, utility, cool software and a superb charging network even moreso, I'm very happy with my Model Y LR AWD, and were I to develop an overwhelming urge for more performance and style in a new car within my budget I'd go for a new Model 3 Performance over any other car out there. I do not, however, think everyone else should necessarily follow my lead. I can certainly believe others would for good reasons prefer Porsches, BMWs, Hyundais, or even some of the Chinese EVs, but I'm firmly in the Tesla camp at this time.

I'd like to know how far a Taycans AWD with the large battery pack and most efficient tire/wheel package can do at 70mph gps verified both directions. I think about 350 miles or so as well. I'd also like to know the range at 75mph. If it's more than 300 that's quite good. Even in the winter or worst conditions it should do at least 200 miles on a full charge since it has the heat pump now.

Range test at max speed would be sick. Please do it!

Just a tip: The A71 north of Erfurt is a stretch of road which is basically always free. You can hammer it down pretty much all day long :D

Cool! Don’t forget that your route included quite some climbing (I know it quite well…😅) and you only get a faction back on the opposite direction. 500 Km is quite decent, I would say. Flat route would certainly show you the 550 your were heading for. But you won’t find it where you are right now. Would rather be 400km north… have fun this week, Kyle!

Nice this. When are you doing the same for the Macan EV?

This is probably the biggest generational upgrade I've ever seen. I've seen the shoddy engineering under the hood of the 1. gen Taycan and the range and power were pretty bad for the money. This is such a huge upgrade that I don't even need to see under the hood to know they did some major work there.

What a beautiful car ❤

Impressed! Minus the sticker shock

Great video and love to see you in Germany again. Of course we want to see a range test at top speed. That should be fun. It was a good call not to run down the last percent by driving around the parking lot. The parking lot is a one way so you can´t go back to the chargers, at least not legally. It can be kind of dangerous too, as people don´t expect traffic from the other direction and at night some tend to drive through there a little faster.

Can you do a range test at 130 km/h (81 mph) with battery going from 100 til 1 %?

Great video! Could you conduct a top speed range test? Additionally, it would be helpful to include scenarios more typical for European drivers, such as tests at 120, 130 km/h, or even 150 km/h for German roads. This would provide a more realistic assessment for Europe, where driving speeds usually exceed 70 mph.

Cheers Kyle

How do those Hankook ion evo tires feel & sound? I couldn’t tell from the video if those are the All-Season or Summers.

Transparent - Light can come through, visibility is clear (windows). Translucent - Light can come through, visibility is obscured (sheer fabric, frosted glass). Opaque - No light can come through, visibility is fully blocked (solid metal, wood, etc.). It gets confusing because one can talk about a materials "transparency" or "translucency" or even "opacity" in more-or-less the same manner. But there you go...

Good content…👍

39:50 - forget about max speed tests on german highways cause you would face high fines incl. prison if things would go wrong as I had described in my other comment. Since about 2018 or so we have a racer § and your ideas you had anounced here are public and a violation of the german street law as you would become a racer in any case something would go wrong. In case of an accidenct the crashed car and your phone will be confiscated and everything analyzed cause the fines are terribly high since pedestrians and other car drivers had been killed. If you announce a high speed ride you are screwed if you end in a german court room cause all your footage will be analyzed and what not. Foreigners tend to forget to check it out before arrival but the fines will be the same, the rules have become different and you are on the edge once the prosecutor starts.

I wonder how this would do on a cannonball, how would it compare to the old Taycan run you did, how about the lucid run.

24:30 and that is the reason why premium manufacturers ask such high prices. Absolute control and sublimity at 160 mph.

Kyle: I have a quick question for you since I also live in Colorado. Is the regen capability the same in this new Taycan as it is in the 1st gen Taycan? I have a '22 Taycan CT4s in Ice Grey, and seeing this range test video with the new charging speeds will probably make me upgrade to a '25 CT4s, but I will stick with the '20's since Pirelli makes a winter tire to fit the Taycan 20's. .

Hi Kyle, love your channels. Since you are in Germany and into charging infrastructure, it might be worth the Time to have a look at the new Curb Chargers that are being tested in Cologne Right now. Might be a Game changer for urban areas and other use cases. If you need more details, let me know.

Awesome car now has a decent range. Good for Porsche and the people who buys these beauties. Love the Sport Turismo body style. I hope Porsche follows through and brings other Sports Turismo versions in addition to the GTS.

24:13 That's so awesome! I hope we get this technology here in the US at some point.

I hope they bring the PCM updates to the Gen 1 Taycan. It's most likely a pipe dream. But one can always hope. Doing a road trip in my CT4 from Norway to Switzerland in a couple of weeks.

@@DavidBrown-bs7gg Mainly for 3 reasons: 1. Electrify America charging infrastructure getting continuously worse over the 2.5 years I owned the Taycan. 2. Porsche dealer issues and lack of customer service in the PNW of the US. Not expecting better from Tesla but my Taycan was more than three times as expensive as my new Model Y Performance and for that amount of money I would expect better. 3. Speaking of money: my used Taycan despite the crazy depreciation was worth more than double the Model Y, allowing me to buy my newly 16 years old driver in the family a decent car soon and have some $ left. After driving Porsche for over 25 years, I still think the Taycan was an amazing car, maybe one of the best. The way it drives, feels, looks, is fantastic and I still can’t stop looking when I see them especially the sport and cross Turismo. Mine was highly customized and the finishes and options were amazing. Considering the complete EV experience after 2 months Tesla, I feel the Taycan is the better car and a piece of art. The Tesla is the better EV especially when considering the supercharger experience during road trips. It never takes me more than 5-6 seconds for the Tesla to start charging. With EA it took sometimes up to 2 minutes before the car would even start charging and often I had a faulty charger or degraded charging speeds or charger wait times. The model Y also seems an incredible value. I also like to have my phone as a key (vs. still requiring a key nob) and the overall software technology, speed and quality is way more advanced with the Tesla. Just my thoughts. If you get a Taycan: have lots of fun!

6:58 - "But they always go farther than what Porsche says..." historically, Porsche has always under-rated their performance numbers. That has followed over to their EV's (unlike some other manufacturers).

I am so interested to see this test with Macan 4.

20 inch wheels look also pretty good and cost around 2000€ less (21 = 4200€). the 19 inch in the black/silver colour do look pretty OK also, only the standard all silver 19 inch don't look as good

You could try to hit 100 mph average over a long distance. With second driver, of course. 200 kph/124 mph is around optimal with this one I would say. Drive for 1.5 hours, charge for 10 minutes, drive an hour. 10 minutes, hour ~124 mph, etc.

What is the google map distance for the same itinerary ? A verification of the car odometer would be useful. Especially given Tesla indiscretions in that domain.

70 miles on German Autobahn is ridiculous for a Porsche ,100 miles/h for Porsche would be normal

( 9:26 ) … it’s tinted but transparent normally… the electrochromic glass can be made translucent but NOT opaque (unfortunately; I’d like the option of cutting out all light from the glass roof, if not getting an all-metal roof to start with)… you can still see the sun’s disk through the translucent (most-blocked) glass in the roof

When the first gen Taycan came out, I was worried about the range and I thought that Porsche would be too focused on performance. With this generation, I cannot believe that they achieved it all. The possibilities with EVs are truly limitless and since the drivetrain is modular (engine being smaller and comprising of multiple separate units and the possibilities of splitting the battery pack), a lot more interesting vehicles will come out soon. Also, I think Porsche is one of the most successful EV cars from Germany. Mercedes EQs mostly flopped, BMW's i series is generally just the same ICE car but with batteries, so sub-par integration and Audi's e-trons are just worse Porsches. This may even be one of the most successful adaptations to EVs from a generally ICE-focused manufacturer, except Cadillac Lyriq or Hyundai/Kia/Genesis EVs.

as a current 4s CT owner i cant justify the massive difference in price to get the new one. here where i live the dealer is actually selling a lot of the used stock as only two people have ordered the new car which here is running 20k more expensive like for like.

Kyle you should do a review of that animal free interior. Looks really nice, just unsure of the center portion of the seat!

The efficiency numbers are not that impressive but the charging technology is just phenomenal.

I just now realised that highway speed (70mph) for you guys in the US is range mode for us here in Europe. I really struggle to drive 120kmh, I usually do 140kmh. I must say that all these advanced ADAS really make it easier to drive slower 😅.

The charging C rate may actually be lower on the new Taycan vs the old one, and using that to keep flat at top rate longer. With the efficiency having improved, you get to keep really high average speeds including charging.

We want the high speed video!👌

Would 10-80% test show anything different than 0-100% charging test?

Love how serious there taking EVs, damn, I wish I could get 1

The car looks pretty wicked.A range test at top speed would be nice to see.

good weather, on a brand new battery, with a perfectly ionity charger. I drive the older Taycan Turbo and I can say that all these conditions most of the time dont meet. In the later software update even Porsche suggested to reduce from 270kw to 200kw, to save the life of the battery. So why should I hope that with the face lift that would change? So personally, I lost all faith in the Porsche promises (but still love the car despite that issue, since I charge over night at home and drive long distances very very rarely).

4S great model to test. Would be interested in your thought on comparison vs the new Panamera for a road tripper.

All the screens of the old Tritium chargers Ionity is using are failing all over the country. They even put stickers on all of them, explaining what to do if the screen is broken.

God0amnn that’s a beautiful car

Vmax range test!

“Coming in on fumes.” The irony 😂

I would totally get the 19" wheels. Better ride, way more range. Bjorn Nyland got 580 km from the old 4S on 19" with a constant 90 kph at GPS. The new one ought to give over 700 km.

It’s too bad you don’t have someone else there with you. You could do a side by side “old” Taycan vs new, range and charging performance tests. I’d also love to see Turbo vs GT. Lastly, I want to see a video with me behind the wheel 😅
