It's 28 degrees here, 3.4 miles and only 22% left, usually I get closer to 7.5-8..

This happens to Tesla's as well. I think its a lithium battery issue in general. My recommendation would be to take the supercharger in a backpack with you wherever you go.
Also, riding in 28 degree weather must be tough, so good for you to battle it out like that!

I dont even get that far.. I think 2.5-3 miles would be a stretch when its around 25F.. but right now we got around 45F and I can really see a huge differance, what the week before took about 50% of the battery, is now more like 15%

Today I didn't have to wear a full face mask....mainly because it's been 85 degrees and sunny all week. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

The cold weather lowers the tire pressure too, which could be affecting your range...
