I don’t intend to evaluate the range on my Plaid until after the first 1k miles. Seems like they need some distance first. Kind of like the 500 mile break-in period for some ICE cars.

Apparently nope, it just gets worse. Now reporting 295 miles possible at full charge. Sigh...

What?? 115 mph? In US or German autobahns? Where in the US can someone drive at 115 mph?
Don’t trust what the app says. It can be way off. My model 3 can show a 20 mile range difference for what’s predicted on the app vs. what it actually changes to. Charge up to 100%. Also turn off sentry mode at home and don’t check in on the car all the time.
Well. I just woke up to check how my 90% charge was going. Turns out not well! It had stopped at around 83% and was turning on and off and on for hours based on my camera in the garage. I could hear the click of the charger over and over and over, and the beeping inside the car. Turns out it’s this error which:
1.) I can’t find anywhere with a search.
2.) Means I’m at my wits’ end.

It appears to be an issue with your charger (or outlet). You could try a Tesla destination charger or public j-1772 charger nearby to confirm. If that works then it’s something wrong with your charger at home.
Supercharging is DC, not AC so that won’t be of benefit to narrow down the problem.
My money is not on the charger. Take a look here at my expanded post:
2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread
What versions are we all on? I haven’t gotten one update since I picked up my car! Literally unusable. Samesies. 2021.12.4.9 for a month (on Wednesday). Also, I think I have the worst reported battery health of any Plaid, at 295 miles rated full charge on 21s. Just awful.

First thing this morning. This car makes me very nervous now.
Not being dramatic. If this car was trying to charge beyond 100%, that’s Bad (with a capital B). I’m sure it will be a nightmare to arrange a new battery, too. Nothing is ever easy…

For the record my plaid behaving the exact same way. Im reading my way through this thread, so I'm on #7 now. I came here to see what other's are seeing.
Im going to read on and comment more in a few.
Edit: OK Im back. @WilliamG I am seeing the exact same behavior. When I calculate my battery rated range to my % my car tops out at 309 miles. I have 19's (far as the car is concerned)
I too have weird charging behavior. Every night since I took delivery the car charges 8-12% more than my charge level setting. So for now I have it at 80% cause I do not want it to sit at a high state of charge.
Even though my wh/mi are relatively (low 300's) low, the car is blazing through the battery % as if it's a REALLY small battery.
Today my car took the latest update. 32.5, so I'm hoping this has some sort of BMS update on it so that the car will behave.
@omarsultan , what has been your experience with actual consumption?

My issues got crazy. Do read on... Look at my max rated range.
What do you see as your max rated range? Change the Display settings in your car to "Miles" and then drag the slider in the app to 100% to see what it thinks the car is going to hit.Attachments

Oh wow. That's EXACTLY my issue. Let's stay in contact about this one, because something is really, really messed up with our cars. Can you post a photo from your app showing the max charge? Really sorry this is happening to us - we're in the minority...
Actually, your range is even worse than mine since you're on 19s. Jeez. You're missing 25% (!!) of your range, but I'm 99.9999999% sure our issues are the same. @jebinc , for example, has a 406-mile reported range on 19s. Something is just not right...
Can you post that screenshot from the app of the charge slider moved all the way to 100%, and the rated range in miles?

Im actually not terribly worried about it. Im sure it's a software issue.
Ahhhhh. I see. 353 with it "set" 19s, and 309 "actual" given you have 21s. Yep, that's about my issue. Something isn't right. Let's take this to PM, too! We can post any actual findings when we have them.
Updated to 2021.32.5 This morning's 80% charge was 356 miles, up from the previous 351 (last three charges). 19" Plaid
It took a few years before our 2013 P85 started to lose daily range charge levels. Same on our 2017 90D. Neither was an especially drastic drop when it occured. Never paid any attention to the trip levels.
We'll see how long this lasts.
