What's your estimated range with 100% SoC?

That is pretty nuts for that condition I do not even get that in mild weather on 20 inch … of course it’s a Turbo, but driven normally I would not expect it to be so far off, seems the bigger engine is more hungry. Curious what the new software will do, hopefully I’ll get it installed when I enter it for recalls later this month …

Maybe it is a bit easier to be a bit hard footed on the gas when driving a Turbo

Jokes a side, hopefully the update might do some adjustments for efficiency! I also have RWS, which I assume you have as well so it is a pretty good comparison!

If Porsche would bring out a rear only powered GTS I would get in line, 110kwh battery flatter charging curve (do not need to be 400kw) they would have a hit on their hands, ultimate range, fast charging and fun factor

We recently moved the company into a new office, and now I go 45 mph instead of 75 mph to and from work. I noticed the guess-o-meter has significantly increased -- 263 miles on 80%, so 329 miles at full charge. I guess those "air drag and rolling resistance increases by square of velocity" formulas really do work ...

The cold seems to be having a bigger effect on our Macan than it does our Mach-E. Drove home to CO from Jackpot NV yesterday. Morning temps were 25F-35F (cold but not frigid). First leg was intended to be 211 miles from Jackpot to Perry UT (EA station). Charged to 100% at the hotel, so I figured it would handle that with at least 15% to spare. Nope. I was only getting 2.0-2.3 MPK, and the nav was saying I'd arrive at 0%. So I stopped and added 10% at the Heyburn ID EA along the way. Even with that, nav was gradually dropping from 10% to 7% arrival, so I backed off the speed and turned off the climate for a while until it became clear we could make it.

Ended up arriving at 15%, which means it took 95% to go the 211 miles. That's 222 miles of range. Mix of 2-lane highways and interstates. Speeds between 70-80 MPH. Net 900' elevation drop.

Got somewhat better the rest of the drive home as temps warmed to the mid-40s.

Similar to our Mach-E, dropping below 40F seems to be the point where range loss gets serious. But 30% loss (vs EPA) was more than I expected at temps around 30F. We usually don't see that much loss in the Mach-E until we get below 20F.

It’s not 30% loss vs EPA in cold temps. It is 30% loss in cold temps and 20mph above EPA tested speeds. I have no doubt I can get nearly 300 miles in my Macan if I stick to 55mph.

I have a Turbo on 20 inch wheels and never ever can I get that range at 150 … 120 - 125 maybe. That was on the Potenza’s
I have the new Hankook tires since yesterday, consumption seems lower so maybe that 400 is in reach if it is 22C and no head wind …

150kmh is cruise control setting. the reality is less of course (also our speed limit is 130..) and my tachometer is 5 km off. but I have 22 wheels

It's a great result, for those observing less keep in mind it's not only tires but also the road - different highways have different compounds and friction differs.

Did 211km on the new tires trip 4/5 target speed 125km/h (rest backroads) consumed 53% giving a real range of 390 at 15C with slight cross wind. Consumption averaged around 20.5kwh / 100km which indicates a 450km range at 94 kWh battery which is the projected range … there always seems to be for me around a 10 to 15% discrepancy between actual and projected, hence they call it a GOM, but it could be more accurate …

To soon to tell but the new approved Hankook tires seem more efficient, hope they will last longer than the Potenza’s (15k km)

I can go to work either cross country, slow road, 30-50mph, or motorway, 70+ all the way. Difference is then 250 miles range on motorway, or 300 on the back roads. Back roads is only 30 miles, motorway 50 miles, takes the same time.
