2) How much does the range drop if it's 10-20F and have to use the heater OR 90+ and running the AC nonstop?
3) How much does the battery deplete if you leave it outside for several days with low temps in the single digits?

i don't have taycan specific answers. i daily drive an electric smart car that has about 60 miles of range. i am very in-tune with the car because using the a/c or heater on a windy day could mean i don't have enough range to make it home. i typically make it home with 5-15% range left. this is with having the car pegged at 83 mph (its governed) on the freeway.
its impossible to calculate empg with all the variables. battery depletion over a few days or even a week is almost nothing. these cars have a normal 12v battery, and the high voltage battery is used for driving.
