First - I feel for you in that you are not getting what you expected and I understand it more then you know. I'm not used to ever getting EPA rated mileage and that is irritating, but after 33 new cars - I kinda expect that.
Regarding charging, did you precondition the battery? Even driving the battery may not be hot or cold enough to accept max charge. Driving doesn't necessarily mean the battery is warm enough in cold weather to accept a max charge. My buddies with Ys in Alaska are telling me that in a 20 mile drive they never reach a temp that they regen in. Makes it so that when I get mine, I now know what to expect.
Not being rude, but there is a potential solution here for you - if you do not like the way the Y works for you, the good news is that they do not depreciate like most vehicles and you can probably sell it for close to what you paid for it excluding whatever your sales tax rate is. I've seen a few people up here in Alaska get one and realize it wasn't what they thought it would be and they sold it - some at little to no loss. One was complaining his electric bill was going to be way too high. We helped him figure out he is getting a decent wh/mi and it's because power up here is more expensive then a lot of other places. (.22 a KWH) Right now a 30 mpg car with $2.50 fuel is the break even point. Of course that car will not be able to compare in any way to a Tesla...
Unfortunately, what you are experiencing is not abnormal - I wish it was so that the people here could tell you how to fix it. You can search and find posts all over this forum, Tesla's Forum, FB Tesla Groups, etc... THIS is exactly why I want tri-motor Cybertruck with a 500 mile EPA rated range. That way when you remove 20% off the top (100 miles) and take 50% winter, elevation change, driving speed loss - you get 200 miles of real world, actual range without charging... That's my math and I hope I am wrong.
FWIW, a buddy with a Bolt that lives in an area with low speed limits, in the winter gets less than 100 miles on a FULL charge and in the summer gets 300 miles... He just got a Y and I am anxious to see his results.
