when purchased. Currently stands at 246 miles range with a full charge. I've owned it for several years now and have noticed it getting better at its usage of power climbing hills, but not as efficient at regen'ing on downhills. So there's something going on, but it's not enough to throw a curve ball when traveling...knock on wood.

The free software updates do something to how the battery and other functions operate. This is especially true for the 4wd/awd EVs.

To me quite frank, I didn't want this car in the first place, but it was too good to pass up. Then I let it sit, b/c I didn't understand it too well. Now I love the damn thing and hate driving stupid slow annoying ICE vehicles.

Good PR move. Biden will be seen as "demanding" lower prices and prices will drop. Midnight Writer Mar 2022 #11
