Just for fun I topped off the 2023 Platinum to 100 %. Range estimate is 324 Miles. It seems either the charging is allowing more usage of the gross capacity or the estimate is off. Usually get about 2.1 Miles / KWH.

I shoot for 3 miles/1% of charge. To do that takes weather above 45-48F and an average speed of about 48 mph. Headwinds, rain, speed, cabin heat, cold, all play havoc with efficiency. Seat heat & steering wheel heat ok.

This is my experience from last week after bumping it up to 95% on my Flash with an ER battery 234 miles 95% charge 57 degrees. Where did all my range go?

Nowhere. Just that funny, fictitious number changed.

For travel I mentally budget 2 miles / 1% charge to make sure I have enough to get to the next charger.
