That would be with M3P probably?
M3LR is better. I currently have 274 wh/mile after few shorter and two 150 miles trips on motorway at 72 on AP

Your standard trip meter will show the specific Wh/mile.
(If it turns out higher than others then something that affects any car can be a binding brake… you can sometimes hear noise and/or feel heat at the wheel after a trip. )
We're just guessing until the OP shows us some data of what the car is doing. Temp, elevation, speed, acceleration all make a difference to what you'll get.

These are from Tessie for yesterday
i can get a shot of the energy page off the touchscreen if you like?

There's no time scale on these graphs, but looks like a nice burst of acceleration from 40-70 (ish). You can also see the range drops quite a bit at (I think) the same point. Were you also going uphill at this time? Does Tessie give you a time scale?

Yeh, energy graph would be handy too, but for that wee burst of acceleration, can you recall if it was over a short period of time and going uphill?

Ah, the joys of a M3P
Does Tessie have a power graph? The Tessie energy graph is cut off in the image above, that might be able to show how much power is being used at any point in time.I use my granny charger at work all the time admittedly sometimes I work long hours on the weekend. Yesterday I got 50 percent charge over 8 to 10hrs.
The main drain on the battery are sentry mode and the HVAC system and your right foot, HUGE drains, I've noticed. If you can manage them smartly the range can be extended quite a bit.
I can drive one way in and get fantastic range and hammer it home and deplete 30 percent of the battery on one leg of my commute.
Bjorn nyland on you tube uses the ABC acronym.
Always.
Be.
Charging,
sage advice.
Granny charger on your mileage easily manageable.
I'm getting 240-260 range this winter on a 2021 LR but it's at the higher end when I don't have any heating on. Last week, I did a 257 mile round trip to Manchester. Stuck at a steady 70mph on the dual carriageways/motorways. Started with 100% (336 miles) and still had 55 left when I stopped 9 miles short of home for a quick supercharge, as I needed to go out in the evening. Didn't need to heat the car inside as it was plenty warm enough.
That's remarkable. LR and P really are quite different cars.
I’m sure if you took the 2021 P version out in the same run, driven the same, on the same day it would have had about 20 left on the gage when the poster stopped. The poster didn’t have the heating on so we’re clearly aiming to maximise their efficiency, that said they would have probably made that supercharger anyway.
I doubt the SR would have made it.
Electric car range is all about ‘how’ you drive it.

I have 2020 M3P, drive it fairly conservatively, manual climate set to 21. Projected range currently showing 206 miles to a 70% charge, real world range 126 miles. Car is all short journeys though.
But that’s the point though, all short journeys. Stretch it’s legs from 100% over 200 miles and you’ll see very different numbers, assuming you take it easy with the go pedal and stick to posted limits.
M3LR update as I did my first long trip of around 550 miles yesterday. First up the SC network was flawless with 3 easy stops on the way. At all times AP was set at 70mph when allowed and temp between 5 and 9oC.
First leg: Oxfordshire to Charnock Richard average 280 wh/m. Weather was dry and traffic light.
Second leg: CR to Abington average 340 wh/m. Weather was not so good with rain at times, road wet. This includes the climb over Shap.
3rd leg: Abington to Dundee average 330 wh/m. This was by far the worst leg weather wise with heavy rain and gusty winds. Saw 3 accidents at side of road where aqua planing was clearly a factor.
Final leg: Dundee to Aberdeenshire average 285 wh/m. Weather okay again and arrived with 50% battery.
Take home is that the worst I can expect is 2m for every % battery with cold and wet weather including some significant gradients at 70mph. Otherwise 240-50 miles is achievable at motorway speeds in cool conditions.

At your 340wh/m that’s about 3 miles/kwh so should be 230 miles. Should be easy enough in warmer weather to get 4m/kwh which would be 300 miles
worst case as an estimate though (and with some leeway) 2 miles/% sounds good
