Question Why is my indicated range always the Max?

the driver display always shows the exact same figure for my Range and my Max Range.

i drive the car hard, but nothing changes. it is as if the figures are locked in sync.

any ideas how to resolve?

Instead try driving frugally. Set all the eco settings on and see what happens.
Use the green orb to set your speed since that is the speed that will provide the utter maximum range. You may not like the result though,the drive gets pretty long and boring under 60 😉

I have only seen moderate differences in the two ranges during cold weather and lower outside temperatures.

As said above, you are not gonna achieve maximum range by driving it like a hooligan. Max range is achieved by driving frugally with everything ECO. I'm assuming the max range will increase over time as it learns how frugal you can drive and that will essentially be your absolute maximum, but only achievable if you drive like a grandma. Currently the max range is based on your hard driving, because you haven't shown it any other driving style that would increase the range.

I used to get a “range” between min and max and recently mine only displays the same max figure as you. Not sure what happened because I didn’t change any settings and I didn’t change my driving style.

I’ve had my 450 for a year and only once do I recall seeing the numbers different. I have no idea why that one time. Seems pretty meaningless/useless.

The interface really sucks. I don't know what it is with euro software designers and weird esoteric display. But I get the same min max display.

Scrolling through the different dashboard display is weird too. Most of the info is useless. The range orb and the regen orb. I have no clue what it's trying to tell me

I have the same question too.
when I got my EQS SUV from day 1, both range estimate are always the same, for example 300 mi, max 300 mi, 123 mi, max 123mi. no matter what I changed on setting (E, C ,S, I or max AC, whatsoever) both number are always the same, I have seem other members have two different number but I never bother to ask.
early this month (may) I got a EQS sedan, it shown two different range estimation i.e. 71mi max 72mi, 150mi max 172mi. then I did some setting change and now is showing same number again..... 80mi max 80mi, 100mi max 100mi.
I dont know why and it doesn't bother me. but want to know the answer too.

this issue persists to this day. my understanding is that the "max" range is supposed to display what's possible if you drive in grandma mode and turn everything off. the standard range is based on how much energy you consume on average. obviously, both are dependent on the current state of charge. to have them both be perpetually in sync has to be a software bug.

speaking of which, i haven't received a single OTA updated since acquiring the vehicle. evidently that's not a thing???

I think I figured it out. max is max possible range. other one is your personal driving style that give you an estimate.
because the EQE SUV loaner I have, the number does change when I drive it crazy. which I never do to my own car lol.
