Increasing maximum driving range

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.

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.
