Sorry guys. I was just plain wrong, e.g., my getting refreshed Taycan range results mixed up with Macan EV’s. As several have noted above, we are going to have to wait this out until we get real test results later. For sure I am now harder-looking at 20” tires/wheels now.

That’s what I thought may have happened, the Taycan test ranges were released not long after the Macan’s.

Alas also thinking 20” is the wise(r) way to go on the Macan: comfort, range, noise… and replacement cost.

Ah the balancing act of life….

I try and err on the side of "living" and "enoying life" - do what makes you happy if at the end of the day it honestly will make no difference…

Thank you. We are retired and have the time for an extra stop or so on a road trip; e.g., if we might need to make an extra charging stop or two to get there because the 22” carbon fiber wheels might only go 295 miles instead of 315 miles for the 20’”s (or with the 80% “max typical fill” roughly only 238 miles instead of 250 miles)…

Of course if we commuted or otherwise drove daily 200+ miles, 20“‘s would make complete sense.
