I sense the frustration, but how is that going to work? What is the baseline? Some default, but meaningless figure, if is isn't calculated from actual use.
Second highlighted point, isn't that what has to happen? You change your driving situation and the range will reflect that very quickly, as it continuously recalculates the consumption, doing so over the last few miles driven. Range for ICE used to be (may still be) based on current driving conditions during the preceding 18 miles/30 kilometers.
