Not there yet, maybe next gen.
This was my biggest worry for the Taycan. Not the charge on a road trip, as chargers can be found off the highways, but how badly range gets affected when driving the car how its meant to be driven, hard. I remember the original Matt Farah review where he took it through the mountains and lost a lot of range by pushing it. Many of the backroads I travel to are not close to chargers and some even go through the mountains and wooded areas towards and in Pennsylvania and are about an hour to two or more out from my house with decent miles. I would be worried to drive a Taycan how I drive my other vehicles through those roads purely just because its hard to predict range and charging availability.
