I wanted to chime in here with my thoughts but Nubo said everything I wanted to say, and more elegantly. Great job Nubo.
I absolutely love this car and they way it drives. If only the battery could keep up reasonably, this is everything I wanted an EV to be. 4 months and 5K miles later I haven't seen any range reduction, but GID meter says that I am down 6%.
Also I am now babying this car through July and August, by only driving in the mornings before 10 am and never parking it in the sun. And always keeping the SOC between 20 to 50%. To me that is an OK price to pay being an early adopter on a new technology. But if I start losing bars within a year, thats a different story. I am only leasing it for 24 months but I want to drive it as if I bought it.
