I have not yet calculated the exact winter mileage, but suffice it to say, using heat+heated seats consumes a lot of energy, and results in significant reduction in range. During the summer I can get in the neighborhood of 300 miles, while during the winter it will drop to 250-270.....that's on the Normal setting and driving the same.
Real World Cold Weather Range?
What has cold weather range been like for everyone here so far?
Curious to see how the Taycan stacks up to other EVs.

Depends a lot on "how cold" ;-)
Also, how you use & prepare the car. If you start with a warm battery (right after charging or using a timer) then also no big issue.
Worst range I saw was around 135 miles at around -8°F (-23°C), also snow storm and very bad conditions overall.

Today I will start training in the gym after a long break.

I have a 2020 Turbo with 21" wheels so I tend to get less range than other Taycan models. Also I live in Michigan and temps have been in the 30's and 40's recently. I have the performance battery plus which is rated at 83.7 kWh usable but probably is less than 80 kWh at this point (maybe 75?).What has cold weather range been like for everyone here so far?

My consumption in the winter averages about 2.1 miles per kWh. So if my battery has 80 kWh that gives me a real world range of 168 miles. If my battery only has 75 kWh, the range is 158 miles. The car predicts a liot more than this (218 in normal mode and 192 on the highway) but I don't believe the car range estimate. After my most recent charge, I drove 84 miles (all short trips in the cold) and used up 59% of my charge. So that translates to a real world range of only142 miles. My real world range for something like a long highway road trip is probably between 142 and 168 miles, depending on temps, road conditions, and wind.
In the summer, my range is around 250 miles under optimum conditions. (no wind, dry, temps in the upper 80's). Winter time really knocks down my range a lot.

I traded out my 21" wheels for 19" snow tires on my 2020 4S. Here in rural western NY you would be utterly mad to attempt winter without snows. I have a 90 mile commute. I'm routinely getting 50-60 less when the temperature goes below freezing. It's been an unusually warm winter thus far. I will say this about the snow tires and icy, terrible roads: the Taycan is a beast. The steadiest, most planted car I have ever owned and that includes current Range Rovers.
Agreed....I live in Central NY and love the way my 2020 Taycan 4S handles winter. Of course, the need for heat does cut into range, but I still get 270 miles on longer trips. My only small gripe is that the sensors get fussy in snow/icey weather and send error messages.I traded out my 21" wheels for 19" snow tires on my 2020 4S.

It all depends on how cold the day is.
