AMCI TESTING CERTIFIED RESULTS 2020
I don't think anyone posted this. I know Dave04Porsche mentioned the results in the Range thread and, I haven't been around to review every thread but, did a quick search not finding it and, it's worthwhile to post these results.

It's interesting that the EPA testing is done on a dyno and, that there would be such a difference from real world testing.

So the AMCI results match the EPA dyno results quite well.
// there are of course differences like in EPA test the HVAC is off and it's a precise speed curve, while AMCI's and MotorTrend's test are real city/hwy driving.
Here are the Motortrend's results:

Taycan Turbo S:
- Normal mode (one loop): 240/274/254 city/highway/combined miles
- Range mode (two loops): 243/269/254 city/highway/combined miles
Here is how Motortrend does the testing:

And here is the response from AMCI to Motortrend's results:
https://www.prnewswire.com/news-rele...301019212.html
- AMCI Testing started with 100% charge and ran both cars in tandem until limp-home battery exhaustion—the only real-world approach to verifying total vehicle efficiency and range
- AMCI Testing ran the maximum-range configuration for five full days and nearly 1,400 miles, then ran the normal-driving configuration for another five full days and another nearly 1,400 miles. That is ten days (two shifts/day) and just under 2,800 total miles of range testing
- MotorTrend's "normal mode" range for the Taycan Turbo S was a partial-charge extrapolation from a single 88-mile loop, and its "range mode" performance was a partial-charge extrapolation from just two 88-mile loops. It appears that MotorTrend never completed (or assessed range over) a single, complete, discharge cycle
- AMCI Testing Certified and reported the results from every mile of testing that was run—MotorTrend employed some type of "data cleaning" according to their description
- In normal mode, AMCI Testing only Certified a combined City/Highway range figure, because that's precisely what we tested. MotorTrend evidently used a further-truncated portion of their one-loop, 88-mile dataset to then break out distinct figures for both city and highway driving (evidently extrapolating from 48.4 miles of city driving and 39.6 miles of highway driving)
