18 months later - gaining range and achieved 325 range on a trip

When I first got the M3 back in March of '18, the max range at full charge I was able to get was 310 miles. The Spring SW update increased it to about 316 miles. Then this weekend, we embarked on a trip from San Diego to Lompoc, CA ~ 270 miles. Charged to full state and it went to 320 miles!

Took off Saturday morning, set AP to 72 mph, AC at 72 deg F. Mid 70's out and some traffic around LAX, but for the most part, able to maintain speed. Got to the Buellton SC - 260 miles later with 65 range left for an indicated 325 miles range! Pretty cool and I was impressed it comfortably made the distance averaging 212 w/m.

Net-net, after 18 mo ownership and 11,000 miles, I have actually experienced battery range improvement vs degradation!
