Folks, when i took delivery in September 2022, this truck which was supposed to have a 320 mile range, would never show a range greater than 240/250 miles even when 100% charged.

The software update came through and i installed it a week or so ago and now at 100% charge it shows a range of 340 miles?

Has anyone had a similar experience? Any experience to see if this new much higher number actually is accurate in real life?

They implemented this update to get people to quit complaining that they never saw a range greater than 240/250 miles even when 100% charged.
Did not change actual battery capacity, efficiency when driving, or anything else, just took an already rough number and made it less accurate to quiet the masses.

It did change the range, I have confirmed that.

Please expand on how you have confirmed, we are all ears.

Wouldn't the 2 go hand in hand?

No, that's the point of what most of us are saying. New DTE is artificially high. Capacity and km/kWh haven't changed.
