I know it's the Guess-O-Meter, but...

It's still pretty cool to be getting an estimate like this at 20 months and almost 24,000 miles. I'll be curious how far it falls off when I start driving.

I had a GOM >300 once at about 1 1/2 years on my Extended Range Premium after a 100% Home AC Charge. Never have seen that since, and probably never will.

@leehinde what would you say your average miles/kWh usually is?

I accidentally found this pic today from about two years ago.

I just did 180 miles. A combination of interstate (70+mph), highway (55+) and around town and the trip-o-meter said I averaged 3.2. My usual around town will frequently be above 4.

My standard range AWD peaked out at 275 miles in September.
Winter is coming, last December it was 212 miles.

I do a majority rural driving, 40-45 mph with some 60 mph on a few state highways. Little traffic around here. I can usually coast 1/4 - 1/2 mile to a stop sign. I hit 308 miles on the GOM once on my 2024 standard range. It's down to 280 now with a little bit cooler weather.

Winter range hit is a known factor. The important question is: does it matter?

The answer for me is no. I drive, on average, 44 miles per day (been meticulously tracking in a spreadsheet for over two years). I could see a ridiculous 50% hit to range and still get three days of driving from a single charge. But I plug in every night, particularly in the winter for cabin warming. I also bump my charge from 80% to 90%. I've honestly stopped looking at my SoC. Just not an issue for me.

No for me too - I get the most range during fall and winter here in the hot southwest.

Where I am at, I'd have the A/C turned off for the next 3 months which saves on range.
Strange how some parts of the country people are freezing and I am still driving with the windows rolled down, shorts and T shirts...

Cabin heating - none.

My 3 month-old Premium 4x with 1,500 miles regularly shows me 4-4.2 mi/KWh for city, 3.1 for highway on the ‘This Trip’ app. This has held true even as the temperatures have dropped from JUly 29 to now here in SE PA.
It’s presently sitting in the garage with 41 degree outside temp, and the Ford App reports that it’s showing an 88% SOC and 226 miles of range. This implies a total range of 226 / 0.88 = 257 miles. Given a useable 91 KWh battery pack, this then also implies 257 / 91 = 2.8 mi/KWh overall. When brand new and during the much warmer summer months, I would see 90% and 272 miles (303 implied range, 3.33 implied mi/KWh) all while the This Trip app regularly reported real time numbers that were much more optimistic. Note that last week I home-charged (lvl 2) from 32% to 100% in order to re-set or recalibrate the BM calculations.
So are the current drops in range and efficiency explained by outside temperature, initial battery degradation, a shiity guessometer function, or all of the above? Oh, and I usually drive conservatively in Whisper mode. Like most here on this forum, there is nothing reliable worth trusting in any of this, other than to plan around worst-case scenarios.
I would like to think that the ‘This Trip’ app should be most reliable; it sees the real-time flow of both battery energy and the miles driven and so should be able to accurately calculate real time efficiency. But who knows for sure?

I agree about the "This Trip" should be the most accurate. I guess how accurate it needs to be will always be dictated by how far you are from a charging source at any given time.

Between work and home and errands, I'm usually, at most six miles from level 3 charging. Sometimes as close as across the road (grocery store is across from a charger).

Here's hoping GOM accuracy continues to improve as the availability of charging continues to increase.

28,730 miles and 2.25 years.

SR AWD guessing 260 miles in the summer... impressive.

But couldn't manage 160 in the winter... depressing
