Question Increasing maximum driving range

My 2020 iPace had 16,000 miles when I bought her earlier this year. Using a 240V home charger, she consistently would charge up to 243 miles of range.
A month or so ago, that maximum became 253 miles.
Now it is 263 miles.
I did see one software update request come through which I accepted, but I have no idea if that is relevant.
Just curious: is this range increase real? Any insights?
If I had more ambition I could examine my trip logs to see if mileage just disappears, but it is more fun to ask all of you.

It may be learning your driving style and adjusting it's predicted mileage. If you drive with a lead foot, it's likely to go down, but if you're fairly light on the throttle, it may go up.

I have experienced a number of times in the past year that my range on a full charge has gone as high as 275 miles. I never checked if it was real world or just
what was displayed. Most recently, I noticed that if I start charging at 11 PM when I've run down to about 25 miles9.00 and end charging at approx irately 9:00 Am. my
range will go over 260 miles. Last year I was driving to Long Island from my home in Northern Virginia, I gave the car a full charge and I started out with my Range showing 270 miles. It's been quite surprising, I put it down to the new software and the rare time that I charge up from below 35 miles to full.

these indicators are known as guess o meters. the read outs are variable and are determined by algos that use the recent drives. I figure that max range on the Ipace when driven on a highway trip @ 70 mph or so will be 240+ miles and I plan accordingly. in another EV that I own the indicated range dropped after I was on a long trip driving in a very spirited manor, and my indicated took a big hit, it about a half a dozen trips for the guess o meter to recalibrate back to "normal". I've had times in other EVs where the guess o meter was showing a lower than normal range at the outset of a trip, actually gain miles during the trip.
the moral to the story is to not get overly hung up on what the read out is.
