Check you miles/kwh, there is a current trip, which is wildly in accurate for short trips, then an A and B trip. Leave say A alone and see what the cumulative m/kwh average. After 18k miles I'm 2.1 m/kwh, no where close to advertised range.
You're right in line with expectations and what I'm seeing at 16K miles. The EPA tells you that the range tests are not meant to demonstrate real world conditions. They don't. So they will never be accurate. As always, your mileage may vary, but there is no negligence by Ford or any other EV company. Just a crappy test regime mandated by the government. Such is life.

This has all been said already, but just to confirm my experience. 131 x 2.2 = 288. Congratulations! If you are in Florida, so you will likely stay above 2.0 unless you are towing or go over 65 mph. Up north I never see 2.0 unless I am driving around town or going with a strong wind. My truck average after 21 months is well below 2.0. When I charge to 100% it always shows over 300, but as soon as I'm 10 miles or so down the road I am well under 300. So, I typically always lose about 20 miles in range only going 10 miles when I start at 100% battery. You may learn like many of us...It's hard to learn the GOM.

Got in the truck last night to pull it into the garage for my wife. With a 55% charge the truck is reading 118 miles.....WHAT!?!?!?!?!....Oh, she has the heat set to 80 degrees, fan on 4, seat set to 3 and steering wheel heat on....mind you it was only 40 degrees out...she'll have the range at 60% down to 30 miles when it actually gets cold up here in Montana.

Cant help but wonder why all the truck at the dealer dash has 320 miles at 100% and have many different test drivers.
What is the dealer dash?

We've had our Lightning Flash for about two months. Charged several times; a couple of times to 100%. Never seen 320 miles range. Not even close. One time I noticed my new tires were about 4 lbs low; but I filled them up to spec and it made no diff. Something does seem off about this. Glad I'm only leasing. I can live with it. But I have an EV6 also and it looks like when we have a choice, we may take it over the Ford because of cost. But I guess that's no different than have two ICE cars.

Hasn't been on for a couple days, hope this isn't a troll and he gives some additional feedback.

Yeah, I saw that. Figured tagging him may initiate an email to help bring him back.

This was probably not the response he expected...

My 22 Lariat with almost 17K miles seldom gets
charged to full but I am going on a road trip
tomorrow. It will probably drop below 300 miles of
range on the highway.

I purchased a 2023 Lightning extended range battery, I did not have a home charger at the time and I noticed that the battery will fully charge to 100% (320+). While I was charging with the DC fast charger the battery will not charge as efficiently often only charging to 100% (290+). Home charging is the best option, that is why Ford Motor Corp is now paying for a charger and installation. ps most dealerships don’t know much about their alEV products
Good luck
