New 75D. Is this normal?

[Jack Tripper]

Just picked up a new 75D but based on energy %, my 100% will be only 254 RM. Is this normal?

My battery sticker has the dreaded 5B label which I think means fewer cells. Is that the cause of my lower range?

It's very difficult to measure battery health. About the best the car can do is give an estimate. Then they use a calculation based on that estimate, to guess the number of miles you can go.

Fretting about a guess based on an estimate just leads to frustration. People on here tend to do that a lot about their range dropping by 2%. They rarely post about the times the guess shows more range than the last time they charged.

I don't know if it's normal but that's what I get, too.

Don't sweat over it, just drive the car and enjoy it.

Can you say more about this? What else does the battery sticker say, and is there a discussion thread about this "5B"? Thanks.
