Ok, I have only had my 550e since last night so not much experience with her yet. 30 mile ride from dealer to dinner to home last night went from 95% charge to 3%. Drove it in every mode and drove her for fun. This morning to the office, 20 mile ride. Started at 50% and still had 50% when I got there. I mostly drove her in sport mode today. She fell to 45-46 a couple times and recharged to the 50%. Extremely comfortable and nimble and sporty ride. Sport mode is a beast, I can not get the ambient lighting off red when in sport mode, anyone else? I love the car so far but have much learning as far as modes and driving style to get the most efficiency while having fun. I look forward to the miles ahead and figuring it out.

Curious, what mode were you in during the drive home from the dealer? E only?

I believe it is not possible to change the ambient color from red if you are in sports mode.

Spent time in every mode, checking and playing with each... 7 modes and reality is sport mode is the lesser draw on battery than others it was a lot of use

I believe you can only change the ambient light colors when in Personal mode.

Adaptive as well.

Edit: I'm getting roughly 40 miles per charge through the first 5 days.

I'd be very happy with 40+- mile electric range. I'm at the port, hope for my 550e delivery next week.

Thanks.

First two days is 40 miles per charge but driving style really affects the final result. Seems I can go half mile and lose a mile or two and lose one. My go to seems to be sport comfort as of right now. IMHO the car is not an efficient electric car and was meant for performance.
