fully charged to 90% of 230 miles as advertised range be 207
No, it's not an advertisement. It's a range based on a specific EPA test that manufactures are required to post. Just like mpg in an ICE vehicle, the EPA rating on the sticker is practically never really meaningful after you start driving.

You're getting 2.0 m/kWh? Sounds exactly right to me.

Multiply % of Soc x MPK and you get your current range, I think that's what you're saying. But shouldn't my baseline when fully charged to 90% of 230 miles as advertised range be 207 when I get into the vehicle in the morning? I feel cheated out of 67 miles of range every morning, does yours do this?
What we’re saying is that the range display is a fictitious number. If there was a way to turn it off, I would.

Hello, I bought my lighting at the end of December and have only been able to get it charged up to 240 miles of range at 90%, most often it tells me that it's at 90% and my range is only 123 or so.
When I see someone complaining about projected range dropping by 50%, that's often a clue that a trailer profile has been activated, double check to ensure it's not an issue, if it is and you're not towing, select the no trailer option in the trailer / towing menu.

Hello, I bought my lighting at the end of December and have only been able to get it charged up to 240 miles of range at 90%, most often it tells me that it's at 90% and my range is only 123 or so. I only use around 40-50 miles of range a day so it's not a big deal but I'm curious why? I thought that it might be the cold nights but it's not very cold now in Portland, evenings are getting down into the low 40s. I did install a canopy and lumber rack in February but that didn't change my charging range. I charge at night during the off-peak hours.
Reset your EV Driving History manually. This will erase the influence of temperature, your driving style and the recorded influence of past load caused by things like hills, towing etc. I live in Vermont and it was 78 F today……my truck still has memories of climbing to my house in -12 F from January. By erasing EV history your truck will realize it is Spring and calculate range based on the present not the past.
