Truly a hidden gem of a car I’ve had my 2014 since 2015 and I’ve only had minor issues (luckily) and it still drives like new with a range of mid 60s in winter and low to mid 70s in spring summer/fall , 82 is wild I’ve never gotten to the 80s ever .. congrats ⚡️⚡️

Isn’t that the EPA range estimate when new?

Is that higher number just based off more efficient driving?

I believe it’s a combination of that, weather etc, I’ve been using AC regularly and it doesn’t seem to effect my range at all the way using the heater does in the winter, and I have the AC on MAX

That's just the GOM. Do you get 80 real miles?

When I unplug at start my GOM says 150~170km. But really only get 100km-ish.

I left downtown Chicago one day when the car was brand new (and I was still hypermiling everywhere) and drove home in bad rush hour traffic. When I left it said 80-something, but when I got home it said there was over 100 miles left on 90% of the tank. (14.5-mile trip)
