I am only getting 165 miles on 85% charge. I mostly drive in Normal mode. Drive on the freeway/ toll roads 80% of the time @80-85 MPH. I have seen here and other forums ppl saying they get 250 miles or more on a full charge.. how is that possible ? I use my home charger, no fast charging. (If that even makes a difference)

some people claim of getting close to 300 miles on a full charge. try slowing down a bit and see if that improves your range

Your use of accessories, strongly affects your range. During the summer, with accessories off and in Range mode, I can get about 316 miles. In the winter, using A/C and heated seats, it drops down to about 280.
This is a 2020 4S with the large battery.

and the ambient outside temps play no role?
afaik, the AC doesn't consume a tremendous amount of range while using the heating will use outsized amounts of range

That makes sense. Im sure going 85 most of the time doesnt help.

wow 315! You only charge to 85% right?

I can get 316 miles of range on a 100% charge....in summer weather, in Range mode, with accessories off, including A/C......in the rolling hills of Upstate NY.

I think Range is all over the place. I have a 2020 Turbo S. When I first got the car it said 250 @ 85%. After 22 months, only home charging, mostly city driving, Florida heat, I am getting 235 miles at 90% charging. It is tolerable but not great. I usually charge it every other day.

Yes, and your driving style strongly affects one's mileage.

I would see as low as 145 miles @ 85% charge in winter months. I drove in ECO, Normal mode and used seat heaters and steering wheel heating. I drove it like a "normal" car.

I drive it exactly the same way now as I did 22 months ago. It is battery degrading that has brought it down.

Wouldn't surprise me. My car got better range when I first got it. After the 1st major software update, my car actually got worse range. And it seemed to get worse, gradually, as time went on. I had the main battery "tested" by Porsche in mid 2020 and it came back at 93%. They told me that was normal.....BTW, Porsche will NOT allow the dealers to test the battery health and give that information to the owners anymore.

Also, I sold my car at the 23 month mark of ownership.

Yikes....I guess those of us early adopters will have to keep an eye on batter degradation...there is an 8 warrantee if that is any consolation.

Sadly, another "compromise" that would be necessary in owning the Taycan.
