Oh my, @Bognar67, that’s not the point. Why don’t you just block me and be done with it then? The point is that 2nd gear’s acceleration can’t beat 1st; as well as what gear would be present in a single speed box? If anything, it would be a higher (> 8.05) gear and your acceleration above 110kph...

It may be. I don’t know. I didn’t mean to suggest it isn’t if I did.

@Bognar67 i know how to read press releases. But I also do this for my day job for almost 20 years. I’ve done startup and control on well over 1000 electric motors. DC, AC async, AC sync, open loop, closed loop, speed control, torque control, simple on off, simple profiles, complex profiles...

Whether or not those ratios are splitting a difference would be determined by what gear ratio one would pick if it was a single speed transmission. Which is why I asked that question of others. But then you have to deal with the ramifications of that selection. No free lunch. I disagree. That...

It has nothing to do with that dyno. That’s dependent on what Porsche does for motor control. I’m talking about the motor itself. It has a constant HP region and they’re in it, whether they’re using it or not. It doesn't "not exist" just because they limit the torque. Frankly, there's only a...

Max vehicle speed for 1st would be laughable. Max vehicle speed in 2nd is more reasonable. If there was a single gear, it would be within spitting distance of 2nd.

2nd gear is already at constant HP by 110kph. The idea that 2nd gear is taller because there’s a first isn’t helping @Bognar67 accel above 110kph other than the higher max speed it affords. Without 1st, the only logical direction for 2nd is lower gearing, which just reaches constant HP sooner...

I think the advantages are below, not above. 1st is the extra gear. Not 2nd. Anything in 2nd gear is how it would be as a single speed gearbox.

Differences in tires too. IIRC, @daveo4EV had a post about a large range drop switching from all seasons to summer tires. I think I’ve also read on here that all season tires aren’t as available in the UK and they mostly use summer tires. Someone else can confirm or correct that. I run all...

I can get up to 3.8mi/kwh in the summer. 3.5-3.6 fairly easily. This is looking at actual range and consumption, not just whatever mi/kwh the PCM spits out, which is as high as 4.1 for me. As @f1eng point out, other EVs have gearboxes. The difference in the Taycan is a 2 speed gearbox on the...

I still have a gas Macan and no need to replace it for what I use it for (work trips or occasionally hauling something bigger). It just sits for weeks at time as it is. I doubt it’s worth $20k right now. No reason for me to replace it with something more expensive (and less usable since the...

Share ‘em if you got ‘em. (pictures not required)

Well, don’t you worry. A lift kit and some 35” tires will fix that.

@f1eng called an SUV lovely? I think someone must have hijacked his account. Someone let @Administrator know.

That range was in the middle of summer in range mode with AC off. Is yours? No? Then why are you comparing them? And that’s not even considering things like if our tires and driving styles are different. My car, today, in colder months (but not depths of winter, or even as cold as Toronto is...

Yeah…and this is from my post on the next page. You can cherry pick the best numbers you can find and think that’s normal/typical or you can do a bit of reading and understand what’s actually normal and typical.

Your car is a dud and you should sell it. Everyone here gets 400+ miles.

How could you possibly be asking a sincere question about the range, link to an article that exactly answers your question, have the section pointed out to you…and then again proceed to ask the same question…sincerely…?

It’s not here nor there. It’s a ridiculous figure for the car with no basis in anything. …and what do you think after the section I quoted from the same article? And some more light reading for you: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/271-miles-100-charged-what’s-your-range-shown.11337/

Wrapping this up, after 4 weeks, my 911 is finally back home. During those 4 weeks, I was out of town more than not, but when home, I drove the Taycan quite a bit. Getting back into the 911 was jarring, but in a good way. It’s much stiffer, louder, smaller, and a more involved driving...
