Does driving in Unbridled affect my range?

[ChuckA]

Related question: I don’t see it feel any difference between the the engage and unbridled drive modes. Is that expected? I do use 1 pedal drive. And I honestly don’t think there is any difference in acceleration or braking between the two modes.

I find that the accelerator is more responsive in unbridled. Seem you need to depress the pedal more to start moving in engage.

I definitely find acceleration and regen to be more responsive in Unbridled. You can drive the same way in Engage or Whisper, it’s just going to take greater movement of the pedals.

Unlike gas cars, EVs are more efficient at city speeds.

It’s more correct to say that ICE vehicles are seriously inefficient at lower speeds, which is why they get better fuel economy at highway speeds. EVs actually track power usage like a math nerd would expect based on drag induced by speed. ??

Electric vehicles in particular use a ton of energy at very high speeds, though even with a gas car, if you pay attention, your MPG is going to be pretty bad at 90 mph.

Being a Driver Education Instructor, I personally feel that mileage should be the least of your concern if you are driving 90mph+.

Yes, your mileage is affected but the impact of a collision is usually fatal going those high speeds.

If your ride is sharp and you enjoy driving it, I always wonder why many would want to shorten that trip/event? Get your "high" from the acceleration and then let up to "sane" for the long ride.

I like the looks of "fast cars" but I drive them like I want to drive them to see another day.

I outgrew my need for speed. I had the below Everette-Morrison Kit car with a 428 police interceptor in it. It was hard to keep on the road. Like a motorized go kart.

Yes, but not because it drains your battery faster, it's mostly because you'll be more tempted to have fun zooming around
