I think there is an inadvertent flaw in the program, start with the battery SOC and environmental conditions, then up/down factor the drivers recent drive behavior from from a long term hidden log "Drivers History", this part of the calculation appears to be missing in the latest release.
ford is doing themselves a serious disservice by not having this dialed in.

Why does the guess-o-meter not pay attention to the miles/kWh?
It did. Well, evidently it did/does until the distance-to-empty (DTE) update. I haven't received it yet.

I think Ford may have thought that removing the driving history as part of the calculation in the update would make the people who claim they've lost 45% of their range feel more confident.

I just leave the "This Trip" screen up and pay attention to the mi/kWh. Since all the numbers are generally close on both sides of 2 mi/kWh, it's easy math to do in your head. Figure on 260 miles with 2.0 and figure on losing or gaining 13 miles for every tenth over or under 2.0.
