New owner of Solterra Luxury

[Patrice LeBlanc Dieppe NB]

In August 2023, I ordered a red/black Solterra Luxury model from our local Subaru dealer. The dealer was unable to deliver on this order and found out some 6 months later that they were not producing this colour in 2024. The dealer was only assigned a handful of 2023 and 2024 BEVs. After 9 months of waiting, I was able to secure a used black 2023 Solterra Luxury (19000kms) and got the full warranty. I live in Dieppe, New Brunswick, Canada.

There are very few Solterra BEVs in the area, the Subaru dealer has just sold a few.
I have been spending time learning about the many features of my Solterra and hope that I am able to learn from members of the forum as there is much more to learn.

The vehicle is quiet and handles great. One issue that I have been grappling with is the range. Much of the literature identifies that it has a range of about 370 kms. However, when fully charged it only shows a range of some 270 kms. I have yet been able to get a good explanation why I am only getting a range of around 270 kms when fully charged. I am hoping someone on the forum is able to clarify this.

The range that articles and reviews mention are not the same with what you're experiencing, this may be because of the difference in the usage of the features. One example would be the usage of AC, heater, or other appliances. you should watch out for how you use appliances or features that uses electricity, this lessens the expected range compared to article contents.
