As I have posted before, my P90DL went all the way down to 220 miles at 90% (Sept 8 Pickup) within 2 months. They have assured me that its simply the software algorithm. It had stayed at this level until the last month or so. After the last few updates it has risen to 226 miles at 90% so the algorithm theory makes sense. I have also drove the car with a lower than rated range (wh/m) from full charge to 5 miles left and it only showed 77kw used where I expected around 85 with 5 buffer or something. I don't know if anyone has pondered if it is simply the car thinks zero is at 13kw left, or that 100% is at 77Kw so the upper or lower limits are just set wrong ? What would happen if I charged to 100%, drove it as close to the rated range wh/m and then when it gets to 5 miles left park it and let the heater bring it down to zero or past zero? If I let it keep going past zero, would it let me? Would I risk damage or anything like that? Has anyone tried it? What should my total KW used be on it? Thoughts?
