Driving aid question: Why is my range different than the actual miles travelled ?

[LightningShow]

No it is NOT 4.1 mi/kWh.

Let's assume the SR has 100 kWh battery, 220 miles range is based on 2.2 mi/kWh assumption. When OP finished 12.8 miles trip, the computer determined that energy usage is 2.3 mi/kWh, and the total range would be 230 miles when battery is full. Then it tells that remaining range is 217 miles.

If it is 4.1 mi/kWh, it sould tell you remaining range is 390 miles, because 4.1 mi x 100kWh = 410 miles.

That’s not how it works.

If that's true, the range report should be 380 miles right?

OP can only reach 4.1 mi/kWh downhill.

The computer may use a rolling average when computing the GOM. A single high-efficiency 13 mile trip isn't going to swing the needle that far that quickly.

Pft, 4.1 mi/kWh is nothing. Check this out. ?

A perfect illustration of my point about bad data.

Thanks everyone for chiming in!

I appreciate it as a new Lightning owner - trying to get used the huge technological mound I am trying to grasp....

Once you get on top of the mound though, the view is pretty nice!

It uses driving history. It doesn't use your last trip. Assume it's hundreds of miles of driving. A 13 mile trip isn't changing anything.

You can reset your driving history in the menus and let it start adjusting again.

It will get more intelligent, adjusting to weather and the trip you entered. So it might say 200 miles, and then when you put in your trip into the mountains it sees the heavy rain and altitude changes and says 157. This is being tested with some Mach-E owners.

Current GOM is very similar to ICE trucks.
