I'm curious what you're seeing. Please include the model (Base, S, Turbo: SUV or Coupe). Type of wheels, driving style, and any other pertinent factors.

Base SUV with RAS and insulated glass, plus panoramic roof and probably a few other options that add weight that I’m not thinking of.

I have driven about 5000km and shows around 550 km at 100%. I have drained the battery multiple times as well so it should be an accurate reading. This is at 22 degrees Celsius.

* 21” RS Spyder wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport EV tyres.
* Drive style: Mostly highway/country side driving with little city driving. Not that spirited because of small children in the back seat.

My base Coupe, 50/50 mix of highway and local. 21" Spyders, RAS is similar result as Moheisen - about 350 and that with A/C on. As my recent journeys have been local the current range forecast is about 370 but I wouldn't expect that !

Predicted ranges mean nothing, based on my previous three electric Porsches. It would be more reliable AND useful to say how many miles/km one achieved and how depleted the battery was.

For example, in my Macan Turbo Electric at motorway speeds of around 120 km/h, I would go from 100% to around 9% and achieve around 350 km. In winter this would drop to around 325 km, and in temperatures well below freezing, even down to 290 km.

As a comparison, my 2-month-old iX3 50 xDrive achieved 554.9 km on one charge. Combined with the ultra-rapid charging, I was able to drive from Leeds in the north of England to the southern Netherlands, via South West London, with just one, 10-minute charging stop. Truly phenomenal.

Cayenne Turbo with lots of options including 22” sport techno wheels, pan roof, tow bar, active ride, rear axle steering, Burmeister, heads up display, drive assist etc.
achieving 2.8 m/kwh (circa 300+ miles) using adaptive cruise control and no regen.
when driving ‘more spiritedly’ achieving between 2.4 and 2.6 m/kwh

Well, West London to Germany, 4 min charging. Just went for toilet and Cayenne was already finished charging. With rapid charging, range becomes less important at a certain point. I would say 3-4 hours drive is plenty enough. Except for Germany, I think we really don't need any more range in summer 😇 .

Base SUV, pretty much loaded with 22" Exclusive Design (Aero). Primarily California freeway driving, in 80F heat with AC cranked and driving pretty aggressively (averaging around 75-80mph on the freeway), and I'm consistently tracking at 340 miles. Was thinking it might be an overestimation so I pushed it from 100% to 4% and it checked out. I expect I'm getting a lot of regen from the stop start though.
