The Taycan has a lot of luxury items such as insulation, thicker glass panels, etc. etc. so it's already 400+ pounds heavier than the tesla. It also has a slightly smaller capacity battery and the 12% reserve as you mentioned. If it has the same size battery, unreserved battery capacity and 400 pounds less weight, I believe the range would be similar. I also suspect the Tesla has a better battery management program.
I would still buy a Panamera Hybrid over a Taycan simply for it's superior range and quick fueling. It's still incredibly quick!
0-60MPH in 2.9 seconds until the tires are bald or you run out of fuel.
