Low Estimated Range-- is this normal?

For the longest time I wondered about why my estimated range was relatively low. My vague memory is that the software updates (I got all of them) seemed to reduce the estimated range. I tried changing some driving habits and whatnot, and of course don't use the climate control heat if I'm trying to conserve. In my case I've come to believe my EV estimated range is reduced by 8-10 miles constantly because I live on a hill about 800-1000' above the valley floor. So when I'm seeing 42 my buddy who lives on the valley floor sees 50 estimated EV miles. I don't do any freeway driving so it isn't that.

I'm currently seeing 44 estimated EV miles which is close to the best I ever see. Exactly once I saw 48 (that's the max my car ever sees in the summer).

Anyway, I've come to the realization that I live 5 miles from work. I average about 20 miles of driving daily and I rarely actually burn gas, and when I do the gas cost isn't very high. So do I get the crazy high EV range estimates others see? no. In my case it doesn't really matter.

PS: At one point I was convinced I have a bad traction battery so paid my dealer to test (and no mine would not do for free). I got 53.2 amp hours which is lower than others I've seen (55.0 is supposed to be the normal for brand new). But it doesn't seem terrible either.
