Has anyone played much with improved range calculation. I like that it displays battery at way points and destination in %SOC rather than miles. It appears to be more accurate than before which was a dumb estimate based on EPA efficiency. However, I think it still overestimates the cars actual range

I have used ABRP multiple times for 200-400 mile trips and have tuned it to be very accurate for the way I drive. In the ABRP set up, I use 1% battery degradation, 3.68 mi/kWhr at 65 mph (I have 21" wheels), 115% of speed limit up to 80 mph. These settings usually give a result within 1% SOC from actual for my entire trip. I did a comparison between Lucid Navigation and ABRP for a round trip from my house to Prescott and back to my house. Here are the results:

Lucid Navigation %SOCABRP %SOC
Home - start80%80%
Prescott40%43%
Home - end14%21%

I am not sure when I will take this drive but I am guessing that Lucid Navigation is still optimistic by about 10%.
 
I did a 66 mile trip down to the meetup today and it predicted exactly my SOC whe I arrived. The miles remaining went up...somehow and I also ended up doing 4.1 mi/kwh somehow. So some magic has happened.

I am finding the estimate for the miles remaining at the destination has greatly improved. I travel between two homes and there is a change in elevation. One way I use up about 120 miles and the other way about 170 miles. Somehow, the mileage usage estimate knows this and is giving me accurate numbers. So much better, thank you Lucid!!
 
I just came back from a short (128 mile) trip to Puyallup (WA) and back. On both legs, the estimate for miles was remarkably accurate. Going down, I was off by 2 miles, coming back, it was just 5 miles off, on the plus side! Go figure! Way to go Lucid!
