I need help finding lost miles!

[Drayday55]

I'm totally fine with loosing milage due to the temperature. I just didn't think it would be affected by moderate cold. I thought only freezing temps would do this.

Thanks to everyone for responding. I'm more curious than worried

I legitimately thought you were trolling

Over here in Maine in 10 degree weather at 80% SoC in my ER the GoM says 150 miles.

Ha. I can see that but nope.

So I just got an update that fixed the milage. It's a lot more reactive now. If I punch it the range drops a mile a second ( up a long hill). Then it starts to equalize once up to freeway speed.

Seems to act like a standard combustion engine range indicator. Sorta ironic that this happened.

One thing... I'm sure the algorithm is learning. It's saying I'm getting 2.5 to 2.6 kw/mile. Lol yeah right. I'm sure it will balance out. I only have 10 or so miles on this update

I actually do mostly get 2.2-2.4 kwhr/mi in my SR at 20-30F! But most of my driving is within a 10 mile radius at 30-40mph, I don't turn the heat on, and I drive like an old man unless I'm showing off the truck. When my wife drives she turns both heated seats up hot enough to cook bacon and leaves the heater on full blast and gets something like 1.2-1.4kwhr/mi. I'm sure a reasonable compromise is somewhere in the middle at 1.8-2.0kwhr/mi.

My wife and daugter broke 2 seat heater in our explorer from constant uses... lol

I get 2.4-3.0 7 miles to work but that's at 4am hyper mileing all the way.
Standard Range..

What update version are you on?

Not bad.

The last one that came out about 1 month ago. 3.4 something something... but the new priority update seemed very limited and specific.

It's a shame when someone comments on the mileage reduction in battery performance due to winter weather and so many of the replies are dismissive of the OP. For many of us this is our first EV and while I am happy with my Lariat ER it doesn't mean I have to love everything about it. In August on a full charge my GOM would indicated about 315 and this was pretty accurate. In Maryland the other night a low temp of 23 degrees with an indicated 205 miles of range. The drop off in performance is shocking and concerns of the owners should not be marginalized. Too many folks in a fantasy-land echo-chamber with regard to EVs. I'll make do because this truck makes sense for me but I sure hope in the near future something can be done to make batteries more efficient in cold weather.

It's a shame, almost akin to being in an echo chamber, when someone comments on the mileage reduction in battery performance due to winter weather and so many of the replies are dismissive of the OP.

I don't see the replies as being dismissive. I see other posters trying to explain to him that what he was seeing is normal for an EV and that he didn't just lose DTE for no reason.

But none of that means anything now. With the latest update that "fixes" the DTE, it will show a number higher than it should to make everybody feel warm and fuzzy.

Now, people will be happy seeing a higher range estimation. Until they actually need that range. Then the complaints will be posted that the truck left them stranded because the battery went dead "prematurely" and that something is wrong with it.

Rinse and repeat.

Can't feel sorry for uniformed people. I went in this well knowing about the cold weather range reduction and everything else about this truck thanks to this forum and youtube. I knew the range would work for my use case, very little towing, California weather, low local miles per year with only 7 miles to work and I can get 90 miles and back without charging on the way back. That's trips to San Diego, Orange county and Los Angeles.

if there on this forum crying there's no excuse for not knowing.
