Do we know what the Taycan’s usable battery capacity currently is? Total capacity is 93.4 kWh and it sounds like originally the usable capacity was 83.7 kWh, but it seems like it has been bumped up.

I’ve found knowing this to be useful with our Audi e-tron. This in conjunction with the average mi/kWh calculated during a long distance trip can be helpful to gauge a little more accurately and instantaneously than the “guess-o-meter” whether you’re using more or less energy for the distance you want to cover. Basically if you need to cool it to make your destination or if you have room to have a little fun with the car.

Indeed. Below is a "nextmove" YouTube video which describes a real-world test from which it could be calculated that the Taycan's usable battery capacity is actually 87.0 kWh. It is in German but has English subtitles and the battery capacity calculation is about 23 minutes in.
