Hey Raghu,
As @anil.m.nayak mentioned there are a few changes being made to the range prediction algorithm.
I will go into more detail on this closer to the release of the update.
Also, what @samitbanerji has posted is correct.
The predicted range on the dashboard is not representative of the range that you’d have gotten on your last ride. The way to measure the range on your current charge cycle is through the odometer. How @Abhishek has been doing for the past couple of days. I would agree that this is not the best way to measure range or predict it either today. Hence we are making two changes:
- Flatlining the range to a median value, instead of individual value for each user.
- Adding a manual trip meter to measure range/distance. To make it more convenient for the user. (Might come in a later update)
Along with that we will also be adding a few more features that will help you get more information on your riding, energy consumption, efficiency, etc.
Over time, as we learn more we will be able to take into account more variables and develop more robust algorithms that help predict range more accurately.
Can’t go into too much detail on that as a lot of it is still under development.
