anecdotal evidence that i've seen on various forums shows gm ev owners able to exceed the epa efficiency/range ratings with relative ease, whereas the opposite seems to be true with tesla owners. but lots of factors can play into that perceived reality, including different driving behavior between tesla and gm owners. nevertheless, this has always bugged me and i've never completely understood it. so that could be playing into what you're observing.
on the other hand, your observations seem quite extreme. you're saying you use 75-80% of your ms60's battery (or 154-164 rated miles (based on your 185 miles @ 90%)) driving only 100 miles, while your bolt only used 55-60 miles of displayed range for the same trip? that's remarkable / hard to believe.
can you share more details?
what wh/mile trip efficiency numbers in the model s reporting? are you driving it more aggressively than the bolt? how much of your trip is bumper-to-bumper? is the rest highway speed? if so, how fast do you drive? what's your tire pressure? what are your climate settings? what has the weather been like recently?
