I am unimpressed because I thought I would see higher range

I recently bought a CT 4S and I am falling in love with it. Although I am new to EVs, I am experiencing range anxiety. I thought at 88% charge, I would be seeing around 240m.

Could my CT 4S still be calibrating/conditioning because it has only done 500 miles?

You are new therefore you don’t have all the facts. From now onwards know that there are a lot of factors play into it, most importantly your driving style.

I think I am among the lucky guys because I see 210mi on 100% but as I live in Germany and my daily commute includes 32mi of Autobahn at 120+ mph, I am quite impresses with the range.

Owning an EV is not something you wanna love if the range is the most important thing to you.

I think CT 4S is the Wrong car for you if you want more range.

That is actually almost the same figure I get on my 2023 4S CT with the 21” CT wheels.

When traveling a longer distance, I aim to charge at approximately 200 miles after filling up to 100%, which works well for driving in the UK.

Is it a new vehicle? If it is, then raking recuperation is automatically disabled for the first 1000km for bedding in the wheel brake. This is turn reduces range therefore don’t worry.

First, can you tell which drive mode are you in? The drive mode actually affects what is displayed.

We are almost the same because I had the same expectations when I purchased my Taycan GTS. Surprisingly, no matter how I drove it I could never get more than 220 miles per charge.

It sucks but the car is a lot of fun to drive.

I think no need for an alarm because 207 is normal for a CT 4S. It is for a fact that first gen Taycans just aren’t that efficient.

You should get used to that because for a CT that is normal. Wait until winter and it drops. If it gets below 25F, range really gets killed.
