Or another which splits it between charger related and car related. To be honest we could split everything but ther here and now of it is this took a lot longer than its final time would suggest. I think Bjorn is trying to be fair by saying "this is what it should have done" but that doesn't mean it did it. For instance construction may have cost time but it may also have saved some battery. Swapping stalls may have cost time but the ramp up and so on may have changed the overall effect of that too. Take these times more as a reasonably accurate guess than a perfectly accurate timed run because on a normal road thats almost impossible to repeat.

I think the point is, in normal driving, people make stops for gas, and they also go to the bathroom and eat, pay for the gas, etc. All of which takes a little bit of time. If you look at Bjorn's spreadsheet, the baseline of a gasoline car for the 1000 km is 8 hours 35 minutes. So we can get a rough estimation of how do various EVs do in comparison to a normal ICE car that we are used to already. This car's time is 9 hours and 45 minutes, which is in the top 20 of vehicles tested by Bjorn.

You got very good consumption in Taycan sedan some time ago, on 19” tires. Here you have fat body, fat tires (21”, 305 width on back wheels) and roof rails. I wonder how much each of these items affect the range. According to Porsche range calculator, fat tires can reduce the range up to 10 % vs 19” and 20”. Fat body reduces efficiency for sure but it’s the only body I can consider for Taycan. I wonder how thirsty would be Taycan CT on “range oriented” tires. So maybe the next test Bjorn ;)

@@rogerstarkey5390 I believe if you fail to pay for a Supercharging session, e.g. bank card expires, then a few days later Tesla push a note to your car and it shows "supercharging unavailable" or something on the UI. Then the car itself prevents you from rapid charging, either supercharging or using 3rd party rapids. Once you update your new card details they immediately push a notification to the car and the UI message disappears. In general it helps that Tesla has full control over its ecosystem, but they also just have better engineered software on the car and on the backend servers. I've worked with big name technology manufacturers (e.g. French and Japanese) who both made the same mistakes implementing their device state machine. They were unable to deal with the race condition when both devices try to communicate at the same time. Somehow not all engineers have a grounding in Real Time Systems design, yet they get to work on them and release products that mostly work but frequently fail. In this case, once we demonstrated how to reproduce the error by reverse engineering their black box, then showing them how their state machine was probably designed badly, they were able to go away, re-engineer properly, and fix the issue for good.

@@DouglasJMark I agree its a great move. I don't know what the plans are but depending on who they go to for the tech the catch up may well be pretty quick. Lets presume they go to Apple or an Android based system - most of the car based stuff is already there and has been well proven for years now. The VW stuff has been holding them back for ~5 years now since the latest version was rolled out. In house systems are all but gone now for this very reason. Let the car company do the car and the tech company do the tech.

yeah my car still beats all other cars, even if morw than double as expensive :) Tesla Model 3 LR rules! 😎👍 btw why did you deduce time for handshakes? that is part of the game, no? it is not a charging station thing but a car thing ... Update on this: just saw your extra video on the deduction in this video and now I understand: you explain there that you only deducted the delays which were the fault of the charging station. But you did not deduct time lost due to handshake probs, so I think that is fair...

Because it's so random and could be charger fault. Remember that Tesla also has charger faults, for example that one stall gives max 110 kW.

It’s not only a car thing. My Model 3 had handshake problems many times.

It can be a charging station issue, so it's deducted as a standard rule. Done for all cars in his challenges.

Its the car with a charge port location designed by a lunatic.

Good video but you shouldn't compare this car and a Model 3 in efficiency. This car is 30 cm longer, 10 cm wider and prepared for Off-Road so 15 cm free space under this car. This car is much heavier because of the size, security, performance and comfort. In a Model 3 you can load only 370 kg. If you drive with 4 adult persons you musn't load any baggage. Five persons in a Model 3 is possible only if they are very slim and light. In this car you can load 640 kg....These all is not good for range and efficiency.. it's a different car in a different market. Btw. The iX is 30 cm higher but has the same width and lenght (yes, it's very efficient for this size).

The way consumption is counted also varies. Tesla is not counting the whole consumption. When you stop Porsche in the jam you will see increasing consumption minute after minute, but not in Tesla.

I think Porsche should have made the taycan a hybrid like the panamera, beautiful car but the hassle of trying to charge electric cars is ridiculous, how can anyone that’s using cars like these for work and business keep time management, ie business meetings, deals and other day to day obligations, the charging infrastructure is nowhere near good enough anywhere and not likely to be for a very long time

Three comments, (1) I disagree with deducting for handshake errors. If the car is bad at the handshake, then that should count in the timing. (2) I am writing this at the point you have 45 min deduction and you'll probably have more. That invalidates this test. I am surprised you don't just go home and try again. Totally useless data. (3) I can't believe there is a way to deactivate battery protection. You should NOT have battery protection OFF, as no owner would choose to potentially damage the battery. Time to go home and try again tomorrow (sorry).

too many excuses needed to declare it a ‘fast’ tourer. rather frustrating in real life as other taycan drivers found out.

What, no 270kwh charging every time all the time!?! you mean they overprommised? noow they would never do that. but you can choose to charge fast and break your car., never heard that during the marketing campaigns. :) all this lying by the fossil companies is gone give EV's a bad reputation :(

You buy a Porsche and you get a piece of shit navigator. Looks like Audi's from 2007.
