When charging the car 100% why is it giving me different distance. From 230 to 275 do I need to reset something

As I understand it, your Taycan mileage computer takes many factors into consideration when estimating mileage....whether you select normal/sport/sport plus, etc.....past use of heat/A/C/seat heating/cooling, etc., and past driving behavior. So for example, if I turn off all accessories, and use "Range", on a warm summer day, I can get 316 miles range.

Thank you
From my experience one of the largest swing factors is outside temperature. As temps drop, predicted and actual range does as well.

Especially the use of heated seats!

Another big factor is the type of driving (highway vs. country roads vs. city). If I plug a destination into the nav system that requires 100% freeway driving (75 to 80 mph), the range drops by about 15% instantly. You can also see this on the range calculator web page: Porsche Taycan Turbo - Porsche Great Britain

Agree with the outside temp comment. This is my first winter--purchased June 1 in the mid-Atlantic (USA) region, so hot summers. I have noticed range predictions are lower now that we've made it to the season where daytime temps range 4-10 C. Also a big difference with DC charging speeds. Example--in the summer, my battery temp might be 30 C when I initiate a charging session, and the delivered rate might be 80-110 kW/h from the get go. Over the past two weeks, my battery has been at about 8 C when I start, warming to 34 C by the end of the 30 minute session, but delivered rate is much lower for the first 15-20 minutes starting at about 42 kWh and increasing to 80 or 90 for the last 10 minutes. This is interesting, because the contract with Electrify America is based on time--30 minute sessions. So I can get about 30-35 kW in a 30 minute charge in the winter, but 40-45 kW in 30 minutes in the summer. I usually AC charge at home, but found an Electrify America location near my commute route, so I've been stopping more than usual recently and noticed I was not getting as much of a charge as I did back in the summer. Just an interesting observation.

hello, I'm running the same problem. I bought a year ago a brand new sport tourismo taycan with battery plus having in theory around 493km range. Unfortunately I realized that I have never experienced this range in theory those few times that I charged my car up to 100% for a trip. 8/10 times 100% charge leads to around 410 km and if during a trip ill stop for a fast charge using a 50kw charger I realize that the battery for the next charging procedure charges showing a range that equals less than 400 km for the 100%. A week ago I had to prepare for a trip. I charged my car up to 100% and the range appeared on the screen to be 420 km. I made a stop for 30 min approximately using a fast charger of 50kw and then I continued my trip. At my way back home I stoped again to the same charger and charged the car uo to 84% and I returned. After three days when the remaining range was around 90 km I used my typical 22kw charger to charge my car up to 85% ( that is my typical scenario ) and the 85% resulted only to 307 km range, meaning that 100% would be only 360 km !!! So ONLY 360 km comparing to a theoretical 493 km for a battery plus car is absolutely disappointing. Unfortunately this is the case for the whole year that I have this. its a great driving experience that makes me angry every time I charge my car up to 80% - 85% and I realize that the range is extremely poor comparing to the expected one. Not even the so expected update that took place in the Porsche center solved this problem. Im so disappointed that I'm thinking of selling the car although as I mentioned is a great one regarding driving experience. I think I regret selling my previous CAYENNE 2021 model so fast.
