I wish - still a shortfall and charged a few times now.

Ditto - but at least an optimistic trend if still below!

It's now autumn and so range is further impaired due to low ambient < 5C at night now.

Today, i charged again to 100%.
From 41-100%, 53kwh went to the battery.
Estimated range: 365km only.
When i start the car (few hours later), estimated range 355km only….and after few hundreds meters, SoC dropped to 97%.
Usually, I spent 10% of SoC from work to home, today i spent 12%.
Outside temp: 19-20C.

Indeed - Houston however seems to be having an extended late summer-early autumn but at least low humidity, actually beautiful weather, but afternoon highs still reaching 80-90F and overnights in 60's soon to the high 40's-50s - point being the weather has not cooled enough here to be the primary cause of my post-uPdate drop.

Maybe it was four or five charges but each time the range increases. I think I have settled at about 265 miles at 100% that is driving in range mode with the air conditioner at half of the full setting.

No idea what month you build was (or if Sedan vs CT and whether or not with PB+) but might your car be still in a 'learning' or conditioning state re the predicted battery ranges?

It took my car (build Oct 2021) a full 4-6 months to lose the 'scatter' in my charging max. range predictions (plotted for both Normal and Range mode with AC off - see chart in last post) before predicted range in Normal mode with no AC settled to around 265 mile max range at 100% but with an equivalent Range mode prediction at 100% SoC with no AC of 280-290 miles of range.

Not sure the build month but it is a 2021 I purchased in June 2021. The max battery prediction before the update was around 242 under the same conditions. I have the performance battery not the performance plus.

Amazing range estimate - makes a joke of PB+ in UK and Europe!

Yes. I personally find it a little easier to locate and press by the sliding method you describe

I have it programmed into the steering wheel diamond button so I don't need to stab at the touch screen for it.

using CarScanner App+OBD will help you to understand what's going on by e.g. showing the insane amount of energy the HV heater is eating and more.
Did you try it and post some results?

Interesting that you found that.
Can you share where I can see that HV heater consumption. I have not found this so far.

Thx, but I don't have OBD.

heater current is HV heater in HV Amps.

here is a demo shot with random values.

this is my main view of the 5-pages dashboard I use and the config file is attached.

OBD device is only ~20-30 bucks and Amazon next day, check the forum search.

I've been searching, but I haven't found.
I also checked amazon.de ... but there are lots of OBD devices and I have no idea what to select.
Any particular hint?

1: The 140/150kph bug is still there (with destination active it's 150, without it's 140).

This is not a bug, it is intentional.
