I am not surprised by your real range. Hills really kill the battery.

Driving tips would probably help on such a fast vehicle.
Make sure you have regenerative braking on and learn to use it.
Do not accelerate hard and keep your speed down.

Pre Warm up/cool down the car when you are connected to a charger.
Use range mode to reduce heating/AC energy use.

I am a recent owner of Model X P100D. I drive the car strictly in the city of San Francisco. So there is a lot of hills and stop and go traffic. I notice that the estimated range if way way optimistic for my kind of driving. I might be getting half of the estimated range with consumption averaging over 600 Wh/mi instead of the 300 to 400 normal rate if I get on a high way. Is this normal for driving in San Francisco or there is something wrong with my car? Thanks for any response.
