Set ACC to 67 MPH (65 MPH actual), temperatures between 65 and 71F, tire pressures 42 PSI front, 46 PSI rear.
I'm going slower to get used to winter range limitations.
I know I’m a broken record on this, buuuut…the mile/kWh statistic in the Taycan is not accurate. It consistently overstates range. If you want to know the real range, you need to either average the guessometer over time (fairly accurate) or do an actual calc by tracking actual miles driven and battery state of charge at start and finish.

Good point, actual looks to be around 5% less.
The first six months I took notes including ending SoC, but never verified.
Best commute range was an indicated 3.9 miles per kWh over 211 miles, 57 MPH average.
Total time 5:04 including 1:20 stop, ambient temperature 81F at start and 57F at end.
Cold tire pressures 44 PSI front, 48 PSI rear.
SoC 100% at start, ending at an indicated 29% and 72 miles remaining.
Porsche says the standard battery is 79.2 kWh, using Google Maps shows 209 miles, for 3.7 miles per kWh calculated.

You run cold pressures of 44/48?! Are you carrying an elephant in the back seat?

Assuming the above was all one trip, note that your guessometer says 72 miles and 29 percent battery remaining, which indicates 248 mile total range. Yet if you use the 3.9 mile per kwh, you’d get 279 miles. Difference of over 10%. Mine is consistently high by 10 percent. There’s no way you’re getting 280-290 miles out of the base battery. If you’re getting 248, even that’s exceptional.

Yeah, most accurate difference would be when using close to 100%.
My worst was an indicated 2.8 kWh starting at 16F and ending at 3F ambient over 190 miles.
It said I had 7 miles and 4% left.
Actual 189 miles, calculated usage 2.5 kWh, off by around 11%.
How does the usable figure of 71 kWh, or 76 kWh according to Bjørn Nyland, affect the calculation?

There's a mismatch between what the app sees as the EA charger location for 700 Lafayette Rd, Seabrook NH 03874, and what the car's navigation sees, both for location and if it's a charging station or not.
The app sent correct directions to the car, so next time I needed to go there I was expecting battery preconditioning, but it didn't do that and I had low charge rate until the battery warmed up towards the end.
As I was sitting in the car waiting, a search in the charger tab of the navigation showed the EA destination as the Tesla chargers at the other end of the shopping center, but correctly identified it as a charging station with a #/4 available icon.
I bookmarked that and deleted the original.

Looks like Porsche is calculating miles per kWh based on the pack's 71 kWh usable size.

Example 2.8 miles per kWh indicated over 189 miles with 7 miles or 4% left;
196 miles * 79 kWh = 2.48 miles per kWh (12.9% optimistic with Porsche pack size)
196 miles * 76 kWh = 2.58 miles per kWh (8.5% optimistic with Bjørn's usable)
196 miles * 71 kWh = 2.76 miles per kWh (1.4% optimistic with Porsche's usable)

Forgot to charge to full and would arrive home after a round trip with close to 0%.
The Merrimack Outlets six new EA stalls showed 3/6, so bypassed the Manchester 0/4, and when I got there the entire site was off.
In that condition the navigation just shows what it was before, EA iOS application had an apology message, will be double checking with EA next time.

Based on your post I assume all it is doing is taking the elapsed time and distance and dividing them. Which as you are pointing out becomes problematic when trying to figure what your average speed is for consumption purposes.

(corrected)

If ACC is set in the HUD, one press of the distance toggle does nothing, instead it should change because the bars are already visible.
When ACC is set both in the tube and the HUD, or just the tube, one press makes a change.
If ACC isn't set to be displayed in the left tube, one press makes the bars visible, then the next press makes the change.

Bug;
When changing mode from Normal to Range with Eco Plus, temperature shows ---, one press increases what it was set to instead of showing what it's set to.
