Mid-Range Real World Range

[GalaxyExplorer]

On a short road trip yesterday in my 11/2018 MR and I charged to 99% at a destination charger. This only gave me 237 miles, which was lower than I expected. I’m assuming charging to 100% would equal ~240, so a 24 mile or 9% reduction in just under 2 years. I’ve not done much driving in a while so not sure what influence that has, but I’d hope it stabilizes at this level. At 100%/240miles this still let’s me start a road trip with over 3 1/2 hours of continuous highway driving, by then I’d need a coffee break and 10-15 min at a super charger easily gets the next 2 hours of driving time. (I have gotten over 200kW on a V3 SC with the Mid-Range.) On trips from VA to Fla, VA to Maine and VA to upstate NY I have not felt the needed for more range. I usually keeping it charged to 80% and plugged in.

Um.....you stated in your first sentence that you charged to 99%, not 100%, so it was three miles less than your "expected" range......

Mid Range has EPA 264 miles of range, so he's short 24 miles off original rated capacity...

So with all the increase in ranges. Even the standard plus will be increased to 263 miles. Which is one mile short of the 264 mid-range. Is there any info about the midrange or long range rear wheel drive getting a range increase?

I wouldn’t count on it, it is what it is. I would like to at least see an acceleration boost offered.

As an SR+ owner, if there was nothing cosmetically or physically wrong with the used Mid Range, (and mileage is acceptable of course) I'd def take it over the SR+.

More range is always good + premium audio, something I wish I had!

I traded mine in on a y, they gave me 31 k, not bad for a car I got for 38.5
