Maybe they haven't tuned/figured out deployment for the new PU?
Not following what do meant by 'new' :
Mercedes have conducted only 'reliability updates' (things like battery cooling, leaks etc) and not any 'performance updates' , as per what Toto Wolff told the media (even if I don't trust him, at all, it makes sense for them to roll all their bug fixes and performance improvements together into one big ADUO update, with cost cap in place).
So there is nothing 'new' w.r.t PU as far as the energy algorithm people in the team are concerned. They might have got something wrong/suboptimal, but I don't think it's because of anything 'new' in the PU.
