Just bought a 2024 M60 as my first EV - any advice?

I have been riding e-bikes and e-scooters for years and I decided to take the plunge and add an electric car to my transportation choices. I was originally looking for the xDrive50 with both air suspension and Driving Assistant Pro but was impossible to find one with both. Actually glad I went with this trim because though I didn’t think I would notice any difference the B&W audio is amazing. This is my first EV. Besides getting the Tesla adapters, is there anything else I should get? Besides efficiency mode, any other advice to maximize range? What have you guys been getting in terms of range? I drive 15-20 miles a day and plan to use Level 1 charging to keep the charge level topped off at 80% and use Supercharger for the occasional long trip. Has anyone noticed if supercharging has degraded their batteries? I still have a year left of factory and another year for CPO. What do people think of buying the Platinum VSC through BMW and for those that have, how much have you gotten it for? Feel free to share anything else you think might be important for an electric car newbie.

This thread came on my feed and I decided to read a few posts. Many of you ask questions that can simply be answered by reading through the eCFR for your diagnoses. It says exactly what is required to qualify for differing levels of disability. It doesn’t matter how severe you think your disability is, it only matters if you meet their criteria. Secondly, everything depends on the opinion of your C&P examiner, even if they are as ignorant as a rock. If you submit a nexus letter, it has to convince your C&P Examiner to agree and write a similar opinion. If they disagree, even if your nexus letter is written by a specialist MD, the ignorant nurse practitioner doing the C&P has final say. Your buddy/lay letters also don’t amount to much unless there is similar documentation in your military service records. And they may say the examiners look over your military/VA medical records, don’t bet on it. Get a copy of your military service records and attach relevant documentation from them when you file your claim. And if you only think you have a diagnoses, you will be denied. Sleep apnea - you need a formal sleep study ordered by a physician not because your Apple Watch has some function that says you do. A little work and research on your part will help the success of your claim. Too many people out there trying to grift the system. And what’s with all the people fearing a repeat examination for ratings adjustments? If your condition is legitimate and your symptoms are as severe as you say they are then there is nothing to fear.
