Improved Range Since 2025.18.01?

[tcaron3097]

Since the last update, my range and miles/Kh appears to have increased significantly. Never got above 2.4 m/Kh previously. All miles driven were a blend of city and highway.
My Question: Does anyone know if the guage on this screen is excluding overhead and climate consumption now in the average calculation? Gen 1 R1T DM Max.

Definitely still including systems/climate in the trip meter. My truck basically never goes to sleep when I'm parked at my office. When I get there in the morning I can see 2.8 mi/kWh sometimes and by the time I leave in the afternoon I'm lucky to sill see 2.0 mi/kWh because it craters while the truck stays awake all day. And no, I don't have a seatbelt plugged in or anything. It sleeps just fine when I'm at home. FWIW, it takes a few miles, but the trip meter and the new Energy Monitor drive screen usually does match my trip computer if I reset it before driving off.

Why does it not sleep at work? Is that choice you’ve made or a bug that is occurring due to the location?

I was going to post the same thing. My typical eff was 2.3 or 2.4 before the last update. The last trips I've taken have been over 2.6, and one was almost 3.0. It is a noticeable difference. No idea why. I have a Gen1 DM large pack with 21" tires. Nothing else has changed.

I am seeing the average miles per kW (that dash widget) has been going up a lot more. I was seeing... 2.4-3.7kw over a 15 minute period. Since the update, the green line is spiked to the top and I am seeing over 6kW indicated. I think it's just how the software is slicing and dicing the data.

We have a DCFC charging station in Freetown MA that I have been using; the road from there to the Fall River waterfront is about 2 miles of a gradual decline. That has helped.

Probably just the goldilocks weather lately.

Nope, not a choice. For me at least it started after one of the updates (IIRC early 2024) that claimed to improve PaaK performance, but it had the result of my truck not sleeping even if it was parked 100+ feet from my phone. It's super obvious using ElectraFi data as they track/display sleep vs idle time when not driving.
