You got the car as the same time as me. I’m at the 2nd mth of ownership too. 
 

I don’t off any functions. My AC is set at either 22/23 degrees with max 2 speed.

Radx uses intelligent regen.

For EV, need to drive as fast as possible.  After that, it is either cruise or coast.

As much as possible, coast to stop. 

Don't hold brake from far far cause you need to step on accelerator a few hundred meter before the line.

Lastly, granny driving doesn't help with energy consumption due to the weight.

Hmmmm, that’s strange.

[Kklee]

IMHO.
Check tyre pressure?

[bnhc86]

tyre pressure is normal and above the within range.

[Fat_slayer]

@bnhc86 my range wrt to the SOC conditions also similar to your.  Maximum is 370km thereabout.  No upside of rims.

However air con at 20 deg 

[RadX]

Change to i5 la😂😂

[Terence2112]

@Fat_slayer 

My air con is set at 22/23, max 2 speed.

i get about 6.6 to 7km/kwh. With 80% SOC, the range I can get is about 350km. 
 

it might be due to the air conditioning
