2023 PORSCHE TAYCAN SOFTWARE UPDATE: INSIDEEVS 70 MPH RANGE TEST

EV Channels Review

This video details the InsideEVs 70 MPH highway range test of the 2023 Porsche Taycan following a significant software update. The reviewer highlights that the update, available for all Taycans, aims to improve range and everyday usability. While the update requires a dealership visit, it brings enhancements like wireless Android Auto and Spotify integration. The core focus, however, is the range improvement. The rear-wheel-drive Taycan, previously achieving 297 miles in a similar test, was expected to surpass 300 miles. Despite challenging conditions including heat, humidity, wind, and some rain, the Taycan ultimately achieved 305.6 miles, exceeding its EPA rating and showing a modest improvement over the previous test, though not the full 30-mile WLTP estimate. The reviewer praises Porsche's commitment to improving existing vehicles and commends the Taycan's overall driving dynamics and efficiency, even in its base RWD configuration, noting it now rivals the highway range of a Tesla Model 3 Dual Motor.
