related question... is there a settings feature where i can have the default mode be EV only when the vehicle starts?
or does it automatically start in a different mode and i have to manually select EV only every single time i start the car?
For MY 24, car always only starts in EV. I personally find this frustrating as I think the user should have the option to define what mode the car always starts in, eg, hybrid, like other brands like bmw allow you to do

I have MY2024 550e and get 50+ in L.A. traffic. In over 4 months time we did not need to put gas in. My wife's daily range max out at 40-45 miles and charging is 11-12 miles/hour on level 2 charger.
amazing and perfect for my type of driving around town here in Houston. what is the charge time if you use the level 1 - standard home outlet ?

JP, I went from an X7 to a Range Rover.

These are two really different feeling vehicles, and the Range Rover certainly is more of a true luxury feel. The X7 will always feel more "solid" and well put-together than a Range Rover. And, those of us who are now Range Rover owners have a bit of patience for "British engineering". But, you will love the Range Rover, and really grow into it.

I have the 2024 P550e PHEV, and I get about 60 miles or range consistently. I keep it in EV mode for city driving, then select Hybrid once I get on the freeway or have a long trip. I also owned an BMW XM Hybrid, which toggled between EV and Gas with a different algorithm.

As far as the fabric, I have an Autobiography, which is leather headliners, but I believe your SE will have fabric, not suede.
How many MPG are you getting in hybrid mode?
 
I recently drove on country roads only. I was in HYBRID mode and I noticed the car went electric mostly. The battery lasted 100km (63mi). The fuel consumption was 2 L/100km (118 MPG).

I installed a level 2 charger today - nema 14-50 Emporia. The level 1 was fine but usually took all night to charge up full. I am currently at 820 miles with half a tank of original gas. I have done 2 out of town trips about an hour out and back each time thus the 1/2 tank consumed. Loving everything about this p550e thus far and exceeds my previous x7 other than the sound system (x7 had bowers & wilkins diamond surround)

How man miles do you think you would really get off I full battery and I full tank of gas ?
 
I recently had some longer drives from Toronto to Prince Edward Island and back. That's more than 1,000 mi one way. It was all highway driving in HYBRID mode. I just looked it up how long the typical fuel stops were and it's close to 800km, which is 500 mi. I'm sure you could stretch it more by driving slower.
 
I just received my P550E hybrid. I have had it for just a few days, so obviously no maintenance issues yet. It's a lovely piece of machinery - very luxurious and smooth. It just glides down the road without being floaty (I am driving in comfort mode). The electric range is excellent, I seem to be getting 50 miles in a mix of city street/highway driving. Very very very comfortable ride.

The BMW was not an option for me due to lack of spare tire. We already have a PIH without a spare tire which we have taken on a three multi-thousand mile trips. I wanted a vehicle with a full size spare that I could take most places - and the RR/RR Sport were basically the only options for me.
 
all, these cars don't go anywhere near 50 or 60 miles EV.
I assume it depends on driving conditions and roads. Mine is a 2024 P550e. I dont know if there was any increase in EV range from the 2023 model. Was the 2023 called P440e?
I drive 25 miles on highway and 5 miles on 35 mph roads. All are fairly flat roads. I get 50 to 52 miles on EV every day to and from work. I drive at 65 to 70+ mph on the highway.

Sorry for off topic but look at a Milwaukee rechargeable pump. It is fast and powerful enough and has saved me a couple of times. I guess the wired ones also are good.

I have a pump that runs off 110V, and the RR has a socket in the center armrest that I should be able to plug into. I believe our Cayenne also has a 12V inflator in lieu of the spare.
