One thing of note - the range numbers seem a bit off here. Bear with me with some math:

You had a 100mile trip and arrived wtih 54%. So you’d used 46% of the usable battery capacity (81.2kWh) when you arrived = 37.35kWh. That gives you an efficiency of 2.68mi/kWh, not 3.6mi/kWh. And that’s before the rain started - rain negatively impacts efficiency as well, so I’m wondering why your i5 was getting such poor efficiency?

At 2.68mi/kWh your theoretical range is only 217.6miles, which is much lower than many of us are seeing with our i5M60’s. (I’ve been averaging 3.4mi/kWh for the last 3months, ~900miles/month)

Still sorry this happened.
