I've hit the end of my research on my own and can't find anything, anywhere to the following scenario:
2020 SR+, September 2020 build date, ~30,000 miles. Daily commute of 44 miles, plus running around on the weekends, all local. Very consistent pattern of driving habits. Charging habits are the only thing that has changed over the past few months, currently charging from 45% to 80% daily since it's gotten colder. Previously was charging every few days, letting SOC get down to the 30% - 45% range, then topping off to 80%. Always let the car sleep prior to charging for at least 5 hours, then sleep 4 hours or so post-charge. I cannot figure out why I've been gaining range; not just a bit, but from a low of 218 miles @100% estimated all the way up to 226 miles @100% estimated in the space of 60 days. As far as software updates go, the increased range estimate started 3 weeks after installing 2023.27.7.
Is this a case of "a light bulb burns brightest before it burns out?" I'm not overly concerned if that is the case, I'm still well within the HV battery warranty, but not being able to figure this out is driving me nuts.
