I've been mainlining video reviews since the embargo lifted this morning, and one thing that I've noticed over and over again is that British reviewers are consistently mentioning a range that's about 25% higher than the American numbers. The most relevant example to me is the AWD extended range (4X) configuration, which has an EPA rating of 270 miles. In the UK reviews, it's consistently mentioned by multiple sources as having a range of 335 miles.
That's not a miles-to-km conversion error, and it doesn't match up with counting the full 99kwh battery capacity instead of the software-limited 88kwh. The other MME configurations also have similarly inflated ranges. What gives? Why can't I have that extra 55 miles? Should I make sure to only charge my car using certified British electrons?
But seriously, any insight into the reason behind this discrepancy would be greatly appreciated.
