With all those factors you mentioned, I've only lost 10%, nowhere near 25%.
Well, it's nice that you're not having much loss, but that makes you the exception to what should be happening, and in my case IS happening. The difference in my observed efficiency -*without* the climate control running- between ambient of 70* and ambient of 45* is 4.3m/kwh on the dash and about 70m range down to 3.5m/kwh and about 58m range. That's around 20% down in both cases, and consistent with about 25% down by the time it drops into the 30's.
I hope you continue to have such great luck with yours, but I'd also hope you could avoid setting unrealistic expectations for readers who don't have their leafs yet. If I bought my leaf on the edge of warm-air range based on owners insisting that cold-air range wasn't much shorter, it would set me up for an extremely negative experience when winter hit.
Heck, even with that expectation, when it hit I still found it a bit surprising; took me a couple days to really adjust my expectations. Luckily it doesn't interfere with my range, so no problem there... although I may have to up to 100% charge on a more regular basis when it gets colder (right now I'm 100%-ing on Fridays only).
