So, I put a few chargers on the car and charge at 90 amps AC from three separate J1772 stations at once.
I win.

I've noticed with 2 months of my 2015 that it always charges much much faster. I think they have probably built in a worst case scenario (ie cold winter) and applied it across the board or factored in a % to over estimate to avoid customers complaining. If it charges quicker than anticipated you just live with it, if it takes longer there are some people who demand money back.

I went 113.4 miles, with 9 miles left on the GOM, on my most recent charge, averaging 5.9 kWh/mi, in my 2015 S. I obviously could have gone farther, but didn't see a need to. I now have about 350 miles on it. The GOM registered 116 miles after a full charge this morning.
Most of the mileage was stop-and-go commuting to work (16 mi RT, takes about 90 minutes RT, with lots of hills and stop lights and traffic). The rest was running errands. I used eco the entire time, with occasional B mode. I average about 5.6 kWh/mi on the commuting and presumably over 6 on the errands.
We also have a 2014 S, and would be able to get it over 100 miles on a charge too if we tried. But it hasn't been convenient yet to get it over 100. We've had estimated 110 mile ranges on it (90 miles on the charge, 20 on the GOM), but have always chosen to charge it up then due to the next trip being more than 10 miles.
We only charge about once or twice per week.

Maybe not. Dashboard pictures or it didn't happen!
