So, by way of an update I have noticed like others that as soon as I start driving the predicted range drops. But yesterday I had turned the AC off as the weather is pretty neutral at the moment.
The range remained stable and looked accurate (254 on 80%). Having since experimented further it seems the AC has a huge impact on range.
The heated seats and steering wheel have no effect. I guess they are fed from the 12v battery.
I think in that scenario I will likely get around 310 miles on 100% which is plenty for 90% of my driving.

I agree, ac on always drops by a good number of miles. Same as the max window heating ect. But this is only calculated if you kept the ac on the whole range as such.
I'm very much the same. I chose the car becasue it had great range overall and much more than I would normally use in one trip.
It's been great so far.

Charged it up to full last night and the range showed 435 mls , expected it to drop as soon as I got into car this morning but it didn’t. As soon as I put the A/C on the range reduced to 340 , did 15 miles with air conditioning on .
After the journey I switched the a/c off and the range is now 410 mls , had the car just short of 3 months and completed 2200 mls , showing 5.2 mls per kWh .
