Yes, actually this has been discussed many times on this forum but I will give you a short answer.

The range displayed is just a guess (nick named the Guess o Meter or GoM) of how much range you have based on how much electricity you have left in your battery and your driving habits.

For example:

Driver 1 and 2 both have 50% electricity left in their battery.

Driver 1 drove 80 MPH from 100% all the way down to 50% with his AC on the whole time (not efficient)

Driver 2 drove 50 MPH from 100% all the way down to 50% without his AC on the whole time (efficient)


Even though both drivers have 50% electricity left, the GoM will tell Driver 1 that he has 40 miles left, whereas the GoM will tell Driver 2 he has 60 miles left.


Many will tell you to mostly ignore the GoM and just look at how many bars of electricity you have left and your avg mi/kwh. However I still use my GoM.


Congrats on the car, glad you love it as much as most of us do :)
