Authorities stated that, following technical upgrades, vehicles with the same battery capacity are expected to see an average increase of about 7 percent in driving range due to reduced energy consumption.

I hope this isn't like what the EPA did in the states...

I can't remember the exact specifics, but they did something like changed the EPA rating to be the average rating of all possible driving settings, so then Tesla removed some driving settings that weren't as efficient (creep was one of them)

There should be a standard mode a car ships with and that's the rating. Then if you change it, it should simply warn you that this will affect your rating.

This might be a little different given it's about an efficiency minimum and not total distance rating... but this could kill comfort features if done incorrectly, and could be rational to kill something like creep everywhere.

And I know creep isn't needed, but at slow speeds in things like parking lots finessing the brake is safer than managing the accelerator where a mistake triggers an accident vs simply stopping you.
