Porsche releases new software for the Taycan, adds extra range

A few days ago, Porsche released a new software update for the all electric Taycan. The new update actually makes the car more efficient and therefore increases the amount of range the Taycan has. On one particular model, the Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo the range has increased by 14.2%, jumping the range from 204 miles to 233 miles. Some other improvements in this release were about improving the entertainment system and updating the thermal management system.

This software release initially came to the latest version of the Taycan and was released back in July this year. However, starting on 14th October the new update was made available to everyone who has a Taycan electric vehicle that was produced over the last three years.

The update is out now, but it isn’t 100% if the update is available over-the-air or if customers need to visit Porsche service centres, as the company released the following message:

The update is free for customers, and can be carried out during a visit to a Porsche service workshop.

In terms of efficiency, pretty much every variant of the car has gained some range, besides two models. The following table comes courtosy of Drive Tesla Canada (driveteslacanada.ca).
