More info about range from Doug DeMuro. His video shows this display on the charging screen:

This is the screen from the top of the line Taycan Turbo S - it's at the 7:44 mark on this video:
That would suggest that the expected 100% range is 219 miles - not too far from the EPA number and likely a closer match to the combined scores of the Euro vs EPA range estimates. (NOTE: the display below shows a 313.5/Kwh/100 mile range - very impressive and competitive with Tesla, but it's only for a distance of 0.2 miles - not accurate for distance. Later in the video he comments that when he floored the accelerator for 4 minutes the car lost 20 miles of range).

I watched the entire video and frankly despite being a Tesla owner it's clear to me that Porsche has targeted this car for the typical Porsche market - upscale performance in every way. Whether range matters is the big question, but frankly I doubt that the buyers of this car are true EV disciples - they are likely more luxury car buyers, aware of brand image and all that implies (don't mean to offend anyone - just trying to address Porsche's expected buyer segment). As such ultimate range will not likely matter very much - the status level of the Porsche name will more than offset the shorter range. Add to that the design, exclusivity and quality that Porsche is known for and this will likely be a significant competitor for the Model S buyer. That's especially true since the Model S hasn't had a significant interior update since its launch, and has been "put on the back burner" to the dismay of many.
Watch the Doug DeMuro video for a complete review - the last part of the video when he's driving the car says it all in his facial expression - eyes wide open from the acceleration, quality, "Porscheness" of the car (Time code 28:17). His overall (combined) evaluation of the car is equally impressive - in the sports car category it tops the list, tied with the Mercedes AMG GT63 S, another 4 door upscale luxury/performance car. In the same category the Model S isn't listed, but the Model 3 Performance is and rates a bit lower. The Porsche scores 72 overall, the Model 3 67. The Porsche weekend score (emphasizing fun to drive) is 39/50 - the highest rated car. The Model 3 Performance is rated 31/50. More importantly the Porsche is rated 8/10 for Fun to Drive, the Model 3 is rated 6 - quite a difference. The Daily Driving Score is 33 for the Taycan, 36 for the Tesla. Clearly Porsche is going for its traditional market - fun toy, high quality, prestige branding. (Overall ratings time code on video: 34:40).
After the EPA score came out I thought that would be a deal breaker for the Taycan - after watching the video I came away with the opposite opinion. Porsche is Porsche and their car design choices reflect that. If you can afford a $200K car you don't want to see hundreds of them on the road with you - for Porsche that seems to be the whole point of the Taycan and the design choices they made.
