Model Y 2022.4.5.3
Average range shows the predicted range based on last 5, 15 or 30 mile average Wh/mile consumption. So far so good.
The Instant range calculation also gives different predictions for 5, 15 or 30 miles (which are all themselves different to Average). This is bonkers as 5,15 or 30 mile periods has no meaning in relation to an instantaneous calculation. I realise I should have taken pics of each setting, but try it yourself. On Instant range, watch the prediction change depending on what distance you choose.
The manual describes both average and instant exactly how you'd expect
"Instant Range uses only the latest few data points to estimate the projected range, whereas Average Range uses the past 5, 15 or 30 miles (10, 25 or 50 km) of energy consumption to provide a more accurate projected range."
OK, ready for my "Doh!" moment... what have I missed?
