The E-Tron range really is poor, the whole platform is really, but the EPA Taycan range is bogus.
Car and Driver found about a 10% gap between Taycan and Model S range at highway speeds. Might be a crappy test, but you'd never ever get close to that if the real range was 400 vs 200 miles.
I'm calling them competitors because they're selling. The E-Tron is outselling the Model X and Taycan revenue is probably not too far from that of the Model S.
Ultimately, consumers opening their wallet is what counts. I'd have called the Bolt a Model 3 competitor based on the on paper specs, but people were just not interested. It's selling today at deep discounts to clear all the unsold 2020 inventory.
