The only difference is that the high-drag 21-inch wheels were not reported from/to the EPA. That same source told us that almost no one buys those wheels, as most people stick with the 19s or 20s.
Almost no one - really? Anecdotal evidence from the pictures on here seems to show that more people have the 21” (of either type) than don’t. And when I visit the dealer most of the Taycans there have 21s too.

I get down to about 17kwh even in -12c with AC on eco, 21c. One way. Not the other. Norway is just mountains so lots of hills. Flat roads are rare. But only if I go about the same distance you've shown here. Anything less and woof. :p I mean, this is a Porsche and I'll drive it like one.

Might go for a road trip soon and can't wait to log everything! :D
Even better! It never gets cold enough to test for winter weather, but it is all pretty flat here.

Charged on 4-Dec-2020 av temp 19°C to 100%. Driven 439km to 4% on 19-Dec-2020. I use my Taycan like my Audi A7.
Impressive. I get about 160 miles at 85% charge.....maybe, in this weather. Maybe I will get close to 200 in the summer, we shall see.

Is that 18mph average ??? Wow, I average 40-60 mph when I drive.

Large city driving, even the city highways have speed limits 60 or 80 km/h.
Sounds awful. We drive 85+ mph regularly on interstate and highways. When you are driving 85-90mph the car eats battery

Porsche Taycan New EPA range estimates for 2021 Taycan. 4S now rated for 227 miles 1611715994063

Around 30°C with AC and seat ventilation, some traffic jam at the destination, but mostly highway around 120 km/h. I was not even trying to get range!

I plan a longer trip next month.

Not sure if the consumption reported by the PCM is reliable. I’ve had my Taycan 4S for 14 months now and the PCM shows an average consumption of 2.9mi/kWh over almost 5000miles, consistent with the 230 miles reading displayed at an 85% charge. However as soon as I drive off, the miles evaporate very quickly and an 85% charge is delivering at best 180miles, more or less consistent with EPA rating. I have the 21” wheels and the performance battery plus (93.4kwh)

Yep, the "guesstimate" is total bullshit and always has been. cars get 20% less than the "range" that is posted.
