Your Mileage May Vary

[bosox8]

So about 5,000 miles on the truck now, probably about 60 / 40 driving highway / city. Charged up overnight in Maryland at home and full range indicated 266 miles with an overnight temp of 46 degrees. I've read enough on these forums and other places to know weather impacts range and the indicator may change if I reset my driving history. Nevertheless, pretty disappointed to see the level of decline this early into Fall from a summer re-charge indicating 300+ miles. This is a pretty substantial drop in anticipated mileage - anyone else?

11% drop? What was the temp?

edited to add overnight 46 degrees...sorry, meant to include that on OP

In my anecdotal observations over the past week or so with reduced temperature, it seems the Guess-o-Meter is being very conservative. I haven't done any math, but I am definitely getting more range than the truck predicts when I first get in on cold mornings.

Yep. Use the actual M/kWh to gauge the range, not the GOM.

Help me understand the charging. I’m in Maryland too. Should I be charging to 100%

No. Only when necessary for longer trips. Set a cap at 80 or 90 for daily charging needs.

It’s been in the 40s in the morning here and my efficiency has definitely dropped a bit but I haven’t paid too close attention the actual numbers. I think 10% is probably in the ballpark.

Might want to reset that

Mine is saying 192 miles at 75% this morning. That would extrapolate to 256 at 100%. I think its typically been estimating 290ish at 100%. Considering the drop in temps in the recent 1-2 weeks, I think 256 is pretty reasonable. Mind you, I've been getting more like 300-330 based on mi/kWh. So 256 is probably more like 270-300 in actual range.

I'm currently at 73% and 217. It was 49 deg here last night.

Is that an SR? Lowest or GT got to last winter was around 140mi guessimated at 90%

SR in MN. Think it was at a few degrees below zero.

Yeah, ours was at -10F. Upstate NY with a little snow on the roads too.
