Sherman's March to the Sea, and the other Sea, and back again

Another insight:

Under challenging situations for estimating efficiency while driving (lots of changes or major changes in elevation while towing a trailer), Sherman will often recalculate the DTE and change required chargers while in mid-trip. In each case, the initial estimate of range is very conservative. Later, the truck will pop up a logo about range recalculated due to EV conditions, then provide much more range than the original estimate. It seems either the truck or the Ford mothership takes a while to take all variables into account.

This wouldn't be so bad if I knew I was only getting a quick first approximation and would later get a revised estimate using all parameters. The current operating situation and reporting to the driver leads to some real uncertainty.
