Range changed after recent updates

[Yves]

I saw zero difference after the update. 450km with current temperatures, and I guess summer will be around 520 …
In summer, I have around 18.1kWh/100km. Now it is climbing to 21.1, and I guess it will climb further to 25-27 in December - February.

I think that if you are using Air Conditioning or Heater, these will definitely reduce the range on the Macan EV. I live in Scottsdale, AZ, and when I select Max AC, the range drops by 50 miles almost instantly.

I used to get only 311 miles for 100% battery charge. Now 380 miles for full charge. It's normal?

Same for me after the update. As others have stated, I expect this to drop down to normal range after driving for a few weeks.

I have NOT yet had the software update, and for the longest time my 100% range has been in the 340-380 miles (based on calculating from current % and assuming a linear range per percentage point)

Monday, I charged to 75% with 297 displayed. 3 hours later, with no power added, the software decides I now have a range of 313 @ 75% (417 miles @ 100%).

Tuesday morning, no extra charging, I have 315 @ 76%, which dropped to 284 @ 76% when I pulled out of the garage. After driving a mile to run a quick errand and no charging, I now have 317 @ 76%. (still 417 miles total)

My total actual usage when driving hovers around 3 miles/kwh, but the car's software is convinced I'm about to drive downhill with a tailwind most of the time to get over 4 miles/kwh!

I look forward to having this reset by the update so it can attempt to calibrate to reality.

Do note that the minor SOC % adjustments are to be expected with this type of battery pack when idle (The poor conversion to possible range in the Guess O Meter really sucks though). This is something the Battery Management Software does when there's no load present so it can read the battery pack voltage, and the numbers often change after a charging session. BMS software is hard!
