Model 3 Performance
I doubt they've changed the "buffer" below zero. I think it's more likely that the inaccurate estimates meant the rated miles would roll off at an inconsistent rate as the SOC dropped.
We know the mid-level estimate was a WAG. The estimate gets more accurate at lower SOC since the voltage cut-off is a fixed point. At mid-level the algorithm probably ticked down the rated miles at a constant rate, but then would realize it was getting ahead of itself as the estimate became more accurate, and respond by slowing down the rate that rated miles rolled off the display.
I think the zero point is still where it always was, but the rated Wh/m should be more consistent now.
