The only objective claim I've seen about this was a Mercedes engineer saying flush door handles on the EQS only saves 0.0005 Cd and that their inclusion wasn't primarily an aerodynamic decision. I'd be interested to see more thorough analysis if anyone has done it.

If you punch in reasonable numbers for the EQS here[1] (2585 kg, 2.51m^2 frontal area, 0.20 cd) you get 420 meters on top of your 522km range at 100km/h assuming perfect efficiency.
108kwh/(206.641 Wh/km) - 108kwh/(206.806 Wh/km) = 420m
