Hi All, new to the forum so apologies if I am posting in the wrong area. I just got my extended range lightning and notice when I charge to 90% it estimates the range around 240. I dont drive with a lead foot or anything crazy, live in the Bay Area so the weather is always nice. I know there are a lot of variables but assuming I dont do anything extreme should the estimated range be 80 miles off of the estimated 320 as advertised?

Welcome!

You are the first post this week of someone not understanding their Guess-o-Meter, what that range estimate means, and how it varies. If you search thread titles for "range" you'll find loads of variants on your question.

Start here to better understand why your truck is behaving perfectly normal:

Don't trust the GOM! Best ways to calculate how far...

In EV forums there are always lots of new threads popping up from first time BEV drivers who are all worried or worked up because their Guess-O-Meter (GOM) is showing much less range than they think it should. This will especially happen in colder weather when the range drops. For new EV owners...

The GOM is extremely conservative. Especially in cold weather. This is what happens to all EVs in wintertime. Batteries don't like cold.
