Unfortunately your application of the scientific methodology is completely unsound. There are several alpha errors in your assessment which invalidates your assessment. You cannot compare the cars directly in this way as there are differences with weight, types of driver, temperature.etc. The profile of a driver of a Tesla 3 is completely different from that of a Taycan. Also driving with coasting is different from driving with regenerative braking; the approach is different.
I am afraid it is your own assessment that is in error. Of course cars are different and are different weights or are driven in different conditions etc. You don't even need to look at a chart of different vehicle efficiencies to understand where the issue lies. There are indeed situations where coasting is better than regenerative braking but whenever friction brakes are applied there is significant energy lost ... it is used up in removing material from the pad and disc and in producing heat. If you can coast without ever using friction brakes then that would be excellent .... but you can't! At some point you need to use the brakes and every single use represents an unrecoverable energy loss. With one pedal driving you can drive without those losses because whenever you need to slow the car you instead turn the motors and generate electricity, to be stored in the battery. You not only avoid the energy loss of friction braking but you actually add some energy back. The other factor is that one pedal driving includes coasting too! When you gradually lift off the accelerator pedal you gradually reduce the power to the motors ... keep lifting and you get to a point where you are coasting (no power going to the motors) keep lifting more and a small amount of regen comes in, keep lifting more and the strength of regen (and retardation) increases. If a Taycan (or any other car) can drive from one side of a city to the other without using its brakes it will use less energy than a Taycan (or any other car) that is only able to stop by using its brakes. Unless you can change the laws of physics this has to be the case!

Thanks very much for this. Excellent insight.
Sorry, but the reason why Taycan is more efficient at roads is because it has a gearbox with 2 speeds. Over 80km/h the second gear is used
