Was there an software "update" I missed. Horrendous battery consumption all of a sudden!

We've been averaging 1.7-1.8 M/Kw this winter, which while it sucks, we've come to terms with. And that was when it was 10-20 degrees outside. We've been regulating highway speeds and making it work (and of course praying that the public charging on our routes will actually be functional!)

Today all of a sudden, when its actually pretty warm here in the northeast, around 50 degrees, our consumption has plunged to 1.5-1.6 M/kw. Same highways, same speed, same everything, just giant drop out of nowhere...

For reference, our Mach E has seen MUCH lower battery consumption since the last update as well as 10-15% range increase associated with the last update.

Anyone else seeing anything like this? Completely unexpected.

Haven't had any update that I know of after power up. 2 mi/Kwh long distance, 2.9 mi/Kwh local.

Give it a few more days and see what happens. Sometimes the "this trip" numbers get messed up and don't give real results.

Something definitely changed in my Lightning ER in the past week. Not sure what it is.

Range had been calculating out to 310-320 regularly, even though I wasn't getting that. But been averaging around 2 m/kw or a bit more in local driving and 1.7-1.8 in highway for months

Now, after yesterday's trip, we averaged 1.4-1.5 highway, and the guessometer was showing 194 range at 100% SOC.

I'm frankly baffled as it has been generally consistent until the trip we took yesterday. Same trip as always, northern NJ to southern VT. We do it almost every week, and its radically different all of a sudden
