80 degree battery and all of a sudden lighting fast charging and better range! Thank goodness. Going 90% SoC / 200 miles max was starting to depress me. Just charged 30% in 15 minutes at 110kW. Now we can work with that! New range at 90% is 220...

15C today and charge is coming back to what I saw last fall when I purchased the vehicle. Look forward to seeing what charge I can get this spring and summer. (Image from this evening).

Edit: Still running winter Pirelli Elect 20". 3400 miles on the vehicle. Rain and snow forecast on Wednesday and Thursday.

Pretty impressive. Below is the best I am getting with my TTS in California winter (~60F). Although, I have seen the # steadily increase in last few days as the mileage increase past 1.1k
PS: I'm not complaining at all as this is more than enough range for my everyday needs.

Excellent! That is even 1 km better than what I got on my last charge:

Is it the range with the battery plus version? I did not get the plus version (dealer's car and it is not necessary to have a higher range package for Hong Kong) and get 402km at fully charged.

Yes, it is the battery plus version.

Before the border shutdown, I was in HK ever other month, so I know use of range is somewhat limited unless you don't have convenient over-night charging.

Indeed. A basic battery pack is more than enough for a long day drive ~100km in such a small place like HK. Also, the battery plus option cost nearly USD$15,000 in HK, which I can pay for public parking 7kWh/ 11kWh charger for 3800 hours.
