13501912-A82A-4F87-9E32-284F48F5CE2E.jpeg I have a LR RWD and stated mileage capacity of 312 miles on a full charge. I keep the battery indicator on percentage mode normally.

BUT, no matter how many times I divide my kWh used by battery percentage used, I get somewhere between 63-68 kWh. I have even charged to 90% and discharged to 10% to allow it to calibrate. I thought maybe phantom drain even though I switched off sentry and summon.

Today I drove 146 miles and used 66% of my battery (from 95% to 29% after a 100% overnight charge) and 45.14 kWh which comes to 68.4 kWh capacity. Efficiency was 315 wh/mi (I had a full car going 85 mph), so 146-66% = 221 miles per full charge. This is also lower than I would expect (240wh/310 miles x 315wh = 243 miles)

What gives?? If my battery capacity was degraded the full meter wouldn’t show 312 miles. I don’t understand what’s going on.
