Atto 3 range in Zone 2 traffic - is the dashboard being completely optimistic?

Right, I’m always dashing between client meetings in the City and the school run, surviving on flat whites and dodging the ULEZ zone. Since getting the Atto 3, I’ve been using the strong regen in the stop-start chaos near the tube stations. The dashboard says I’m getting 220 miles, but my actual trips from Clapham to Canary Wharf are barely hitting 160. Is anyone else’s Atto 3 being this optimistic? Also, don't get me started on the parking nightmares in Islington - the 360 camera is okay but the car is still a bloody brick to squeeze into those tight spaces. Anyone else finding the Atto 3's heat pump completely useless in this miserable London drizzle? Cheers, Liam.

Morning Liam. To be fair, all these dashboards are a bit optimistic when you're crawling in traffic. I reckon my Ioniq 5 drops about 10% quicker on the A30 than the dash suggests, especially dodging tractors on the narrow lanes near Okehampton. Mind you, stop-start suits EVs. If you're on Intelligent Octopus, charging is pennies anyway. Just get to the coast for a cream tea and you'll forget the range anxiety!
