This is mostly not my experience after 18 months but I appreciate your report. My car's build quality has been nearly perfect (which I didn't expect because of lots of contrary reports in 2020.) I tried FSD on the $200/month plan and I agree it's bad. The car stopped at green lights, kept going at red, turned right from the middle lane, etc. So I canceled it.
I live in the Rocky Mountains so I can relate about the hills, but haven't noticed a big range deficit from them. Probably because every uphill has a corresponding downhill and regen braking can recover some of the uphill energy loss. What I notice much more is wind. Driving fast into a headwind entails a huge energy loss (proportional to your airspeed cubed--yikes!) and it cannot be recovered. OTOH driving with a tailwind can add significant range.
I've also not noticed much of a problem finding open superchargers but that might be because I mostly drive in "flyover country." The supercharger network has also expanded significantly just in the 18 months I've had the car.
