I doubt this will have the wanted effect.WOW BILL, A 50 MILE INCREASE IS TERRIFIC. THIS IS VERY GOOD NEWS. I SHOULD GO OUT IN THE GARAGE AND TURN ON MY CAR AND RUN THE AC UNTIL THE BATTERY DIES. THEN RECHARGE IT! MAYBE DO THIS 3 or 4 TIMES. Another Great Benefit of EV Cars Is that they don't Emit Carbon Monoxide!!!!
First of all it will take about 3-4 days running down the battery only using AC.
Second, the GOM might display terrible range because you're not moving, but using lots of energy. So your projected miles per kWh will be extremely low!
Just drive your car normally, like you always do. As mentioned, some of the numbers that the GOM needs to predict your available range have been reset with the software update and it will take a while to predict correctly again.
So don't sweat it, drive like you drive, enjoy your car and charge when you get below 30% and you'll be fine. If you'll ever drive very differently than what you usually drive, it will predict wrong anyways and "relearn". That's how it works.
