2026 Porsche Taycan 4S Performance Battery

"- Thread starter MY22PCT - Start date Mar 24, 2026 - Watchers 7 First NameMattJoinedJun 4, 2022Threads3Messages38Reaction score29LocationUnited KingdomVehicles I have a Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo. It was one of the first, registered March 2022, and I’ve done 84,000 miles in 10 countries. in December I asked my dealer to perform an official Porsche SOH assessment on the HV Battery. It scored 91%. Using a battery degradation curve, rather than straight line, my battery is likely to get to 300,000 miles at 70% SoH. My current 91% or close looks like this: I drove 203 miles today in range mode. I have 9 miles range left. The journey was a mix of motorway (90%) and country roads. I used Porsche’s adaptive cruise control nearly all the time. The temp was 10-13°C, I started at 100% charge and I’m still on 20” winters. I drove gently."

"On the verge of buying this Taycan 4S Sport Turismo - need opinions I’m honestly on the edge of pulling the trigger on this Taycan and wanted to ask the community before I do something financially irresponsible 😅 This is the one I’m looking at: It’s a 2022 Taycan 4S Sport Turismo with Porsche Approved warranty. I really like the Sport Turismo shape and practicality compared to the sedan. I’ve been testing a lot of EVs recently (Tesla Model 3, BYD Seal, CLA 250+ EQ) but this is the first one that actually makes me want this car. Before I go for it, I’d love to hear from owners: * anything I should watch out for with MY22 cars? * real world range? * any options you regret not getting? Would you buy a Taycan again? Trying to make a smart decision… but I’m very close to just saying “screw it” and buying it."

"What I have learned is that these cars are generally either problem free or problem full, so with that in mind I looked for a Taycan that had more miles than average thinking it meant the car was in the latter camp. One year into my used Taycan CT4 ownership and I haven't had a single issue. Personally, I didn't see much of a point in getting a "4S", "GTS", or a "Turbo" because I don't care if my EV is super fast -- it's really not what I bought it for and I have never once thought to myself I wish my Taycan 4 was faster. The "must-have" option is a fast charger installed in your home. Mine can charge from empty to full overnight. When I was using a regular wall charger it was just like a few dozen miles charge overnight."

"Generally, my battery mgt looks like this: 95% of charging on a 7kWh home charger to 85% capacity. I use high speed chargers on longer journeys but I tend to use the PCM so normal charges are top ups for a few minutes. I thought this real life info and experience might be useful and/or interesting. First NameSergeyJoinedDec 19, 2021Threads41Messages2,395Reaction score1,746LocationIndianapolisVehicles Great report and generally accepted understanding that the battery will outlive the car and will retain 70%-80% of its capacity long term with BMS doing a good job taking care of the battery. The only wrinkle in this equation is that if battery modules start to go bad and you start going down the path of replacing them or the entire battery, then you are stuck in a base Macan for months while waiting."

"First NameCEJoinedJan 12, 2025Threads1Messages30Reaction score16LocationMalaysiaVehicles I asked my dealer about this recent software update. They said Porsche stopped the update because there are cars that will not engage gear after the update. My dealer said there is 1 car at his side that faced this issue after the update. #### vanjwilson First NameVanJoinedDec 17, 2024Threads3Messages50Reaction score86LocationNC, USAVehicles"

"Not sure I'd agree. They definitely are behind in both software and hardware architecture .. and, more importantly, the marriage of the two. I am sorely disappointed in the inability of the car to do OTA updates. That, however, does not take away from the pure enjoyment of driving the car. It's a beast and unlike some others here, I have a decent dealer and after 7k miles and a year of ownership, my issues have been at most, minor. I have spared myself the newest update since it doesn't seem to do much and I have very minor issues (rarely). This is my 3rd Porsche (911 4S, MacanS and now the 4S). Yes, they have a long way to go on getting their electronics up to snuff and competitive with Tesla and Rivian. However, if you look at the incredibly long list of issues with Tesla, Rivian and Lucid over the years - and even currently, I would be careful in saying that they are 'flawless' in comparison. Just ask Lucid about their latest update for the Gravity. BMW clearly got the memo (we think - given we haven't seen the production models yet). I spent a good decade of my Tech career getting excellent engineering teams to understand that excelling at software is not just 'an add on'. They never get it. Just ask Blackberry and Sony. No question that Porsche will eventually get the memo even if they have to go through even more pain. Hopefully, the joint project with Rivian will help. Assuming things continue as they are with my 4S, i'll be getting the next version in 2028 after my lease is up. My past experiences with BMW's leaves me cold so I won't be going down that path any time soon. For many reasons, I'm not going back to ICE cars either."
