Major cold snap sent us plummeting into the 70s (F) this week. Saturday morning after the overnight charge the 2019 showed 123 miles which dropped to 119 when the AC was selected.
Range finally back up

And a new high

2019, unsure about the battery, we picked it up with 30k miles on the clock. I don't recall battery pack on the service record we were shown.
Did both the software updates. No noticeable change after the first, but the second seemed to diminish our estimated range, not by a lot though noticeable. That is, until the cooler weather.
Soulspy has shown 100 soh until one of the updates and now there's no value for that.

For those of us who don't live in Arizona or Dubai 70F = 21C is warm not cold.
You seem to be saying that your car's GOM shows a higher range at 21C than when the temp is hotter.
This is consistent with my car. Best values occur in the spring and fall when temps are around 21C.
Lower values in summer and lowest in winter.
The interesting part is your statement that the second BMS update for the 'fire-safety' recall lowered range in hot weather but not at 70F. Is this correct? The two drivers who reported lower ranges are from Canada and UK. Both never have temps as high as an Arizona summer.

Yes, I mean it would have been nice to have kept a charging log or something. It did not seem like we were getting the estimated miles during the warmer (110+F) months as we had seen prior to the recall. And likewise, I don't think it's ever reported 126 miles.
It's only natural that when you're not running heat/ac that the expected range is higher, it just seems the software update has tweaked those a bit.

We've been seeing 127 miles after the over night charge the last week and then after a long day of driving and Christmas shopping with a single fast charge early in the day, had 129 yesterday morning. No heat or AC that day of driving so I'm sure that helped the algorithm.
One day the wife reported 127 miles when she drove 1.5 miles to the gym (~3 miles round trip). When I got in a little while later it again showed 27 miles. She's mentioned it does that sometimes when she drives to work.
Down to a brisk 66* F this fine Christmas day, perhaps a chance of snow?
