Mine is still at the port in Emden, Germany apparently. Been there about 2 weeks now I guess.

Yup! Still amazes me that people think WLTP equates to real world driving! It's a leveller so that all cars can be compared on an equal basis but they really need to do more marketing to let people know that's not real world range!

Manager: โHow come youโre only doing 6 sales visits per day instead of 10?โ
Employee: โI have to stop twice a day to recharge for an hour each timeโ
Manager: โNONSENSE !! You should have enough to do 530km on one charge!โ

Am amused that you think a sales guy for an engineering firm might be making 10 visits a day, or even 6.
They're not selling double glazing, door to door...

It's also very possible to exceed the WLTP figure, because it's for a combined urban/extra-urban/highway cycle. If you travel at town speeds (but with minimal stop/start), you can get way more than 330 miles. Similarly if you start at the top of a mountain and follow a route that is mostly downhill all the way.
What I don't get are people who seem to think that a charge of x kWh equates to a guaranteed number of miles, regardless of how the car is driven. That just doesn't make common sense.
