Is the Taycan 4S up for extreme weather?
I live in Minnesota and the Taycan 4S has been surprisingly good in winter. In terms of snow, the AWD system is fantastic, but you lose a lot of range in the cold.
The extreme heat here in Arizona has not been an issue at all. I can say that the battery cooling system seems to work really well and I haven’t observed any significant range loss.
I’ve experienced a big range hit in both very cold and very hot weather. And if you live in an area with extreme temperatures it is something to be aware of but manageable.
I was concerned about winter driving but the Taycan 4S has been a champ. Good winter tires, however, is a must!
Being in Florida, I have not had any heat problems. There is no issue with the AC and the car doesn't seem to suffer from performance at all.
My biggest problem in cold weather has been the charge port freezing shut. It’s annoying but a little deicer spray solves it.
I believe the weather effects are overemphasized. You lose a bit of range, but not nearly as much as people make it seem. Just plan accordingly.
The quietness of the cabin is for me. You don’t realize how much road noise you have gotten used to until you drive a Taycan 4S.
The frunk is underrated. It's not large at all, but it's perfect for storing charging cables and other small items I'd like to stay separate.
The massage seats are severely underrated. Long drives are much more comfortable with them.
The most underrated feature is the fact that you can update the car’s software over the air. Each major update feels like you got a new car.
The head up display is excellent and wasn’t given good enough credit. It's really well integrated, until you forget it's there and driving becomes so much easier and safer.
A small thing, but so convenient, the automatic charge port door. No fumbling with a manual latch when trying to plug in.
The passenger display is definitely the most underrated feature in this car. That’s great for road trips when your co pilot wants to control the music or navigate without distracting the driver.
