    I just took delivery of my 2024 XSE, which advertised up to 44 miles on a charge. But all I've seen on the dashboard is an estimate of 35 miles...which is about the same as my 2017 Prime Advance showed when I got it.

    Toyota's help line said they have heard you need to break in the battery... which sounded a bit suspect.

    Has anyone else dealt with this, and did range improve after a few charge cycles?

    Give it some time to adjust to your driving style. That’s why it’s affectionality referred to as the Guess-O-Meter.

    that's a very sad help line for the manufacturer.
    there's no such thing as range, only energy storage. how you drive the car, how much hvac, and environmental factors are what convert the energy into 'range'.
    if you're impatient, start with a full battery and drive until the engine comes on. that will be the range for that drive.
    the displayed range is just some combination of past performance as interpreted by toyota software.
    if you do the same drive everyday, it will be pretty accurate after a time
