What kind of mpkWh are you seeing?

If i drive it super soft and flat at 70-75 it’s pretty easy to get over 3. But we live in hilly area, and well, the torque is too fun. The car is best and constant speeds under 60 or so.
Taycan is a pretty big car and heavier than similar teslas, so they will do a little better on eco.

Probably should start a poll and see what the average is. With 1,500 miles and fairly conservative driving I'm at 3.3 miles/kWh. Best was 3.9 worst was 2.1 (had to launch it and see how it felt at inadvisable speeds). This was all northern Florida relatively warm temps. As a point of comparison my 2020 Tesla Model S Performance has averaged 3.7 miles/kWh with some NJ winter temps and some Fl. The Taycan isn't terribly inefficient and may improve with a few more miles but Porsche has some catching up to do.

its really no different than a gas car, there are a lot of variables - the one probably bigger variable with EV is weather, as the heater uses a fair bit of energy. Generally the ~200mi range porsche publishes is a sort of worst case scenario.

Rain significantly increases rolling resistance, same temperature commute at 62 MPH average dry was 3.3miles/kWh, but wet was 2.7miles/kWh and arrived home with 4%/8miles left.

Another data point for a CT4: 2 hours drive time, 31mph average speed, 58 mile distance, 2.7 mi/kwh
Mix of local and freeway driving, freeway speeds 75-80mph, some hills, up and down, some flat. Temp low 70s
This has been pretty consistent for me, just 'driving' normal in Socal is in the 2.7-8 range. Less when cold, less when hooning it.
In rough numbers, with usable capacity of the larger battery of about 87kwh, at 2.7mi/kw puts miles at 235 which is what my guess o meter says at full charge, the few times I've done 100% charge.
