New Porsche Taycan 70-MPH Highway Range Test! Larger Battery, More Efficient Motor, & Crazy Charging 

can't wait for this tech to trickle down. Ideally with other cell chemistry tho. Tesla is suspiciously quite when it comes to next gen charging performance or battery / range upgrades to the existing MY and 3

​@@Allride_already available in China.

I get 8 hours of highway driving from a 45-second charge in my *_electric vehicle_* (2016 Prius c Two).

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.

Probably around 120 km / 75 miles... 260 km/h / 160 mph is no joke in terms of driving resistances 😁

Probably more range than the petrol version at top speed 😂

Battery life at full speed would be about ten minutes. At top speed this will get you about 30 miles.

@@thedubwhisperer2157 it's actually ~25 minutes, as you don't use the full power at its limited top speed.

Hey man, atleast u admit that it may not be in ur budget to afford a porsche while accepting its probably the king when it comes too EV tech while being an actual luxury great looking sedan when insane performance. Most people in the comments (mainly averaje joe tesla owners) will come and try to justify all the reason they drive a tesla and not a porsche when in reality they just can't afford it.

@@user-my4xu4gf1z your comment was great until your ignorant generalization. Not everyone that can afford something want to spend the money.

@@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.

What is supercharger ? You mean dodge charger ?

@@IvanNedostal I believe they are referring to Tesla Superchargers, which don't have screens on them.

I agree on style and practicality but the price? The last models price dropped like a stone. If I’d be interested in this car I’d wait a year or two and then get a deal.

​@@10secondsrule I'd even wait another 5 or 6 years if change isn't necessary. Just way too much happening right now.

All Evs depreciate. The best thing to do is lease or buy and sell within 2 years. The higher end models like the taycan turbo s and gt won't see depreciation for awhile though.

Volkswagen also has it on their new ID vehicles.

the new Taycan should be able to totally destroy the previous record if the CCS network holds up

As a model Y owner considering a Taycan, why did you go Taycan > Y ?

@@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!

​@@DavidBrown-bs7ggI mean it's pretty obvious dude. Look at the interior and exterior of a model y thats shapped like a blob vs this beautiful sedan. This has a game changing new active air suspension, chassis, handling, braking,speed, actual luxury interior, charging, range, etc.. its a freakn PORSCHE vs a tesla. Entirely different class of car.

@@user-my4xu4gf1z No, the guy went from a Taycan to a Tesla and I wondered why

The Model S and Lucid Air exist 🤷🏽‍♂️

@@samthecar I get what you're saying, but wagons really should make a comeback in the US. I prefer them so much more than crossovers and hatchbacks.

Yes

Endless Stau these days

Surprisingly it's the Porsche guys who are pretty chill on the Autobahn most of the time 😂

Since you can’t wait, do it in two years instead of 5.
