Smoking Tire did a real world range test.

He says at the start that it was still estimating mileage based on his lead foot driving around town.Why was the indicated range 240 when he left? It's supposed to be 270.
The Range "learns" how you drive... so maybe it was the estimate based on previous driving cycles, maybe there was lots of acceleration, unbriddled, etc.Why was the indicated range 240 when he left? It's supposed to be 270.
If it was a press car then LOTS of lead feet. Theory is that it will learn from your driving so after a while the estimated range should be more accurateHe says at the start that it was still estimating mileage based on his lead foot driving around town.
Tesla y gets you about 3.5?248mi @ 3.1mi/kWh was easy to get without even trying, they said.
The first leg was 72mph cruise control and did 124 miles using 46% SoC.
Second leg was 102mi with 28mi (11% SoC) remaining.
Third leg was 22mi after lunch stop back to base with 9mi (4% SoC) remaining.
The EPA range is calculated at a much lower average speed. No EV on the market matches its EPA range when driven at 70mph.At 73F I was kind of hoping it would exceed epa, but oh well. I guess it's still very good. Those how's my driving numbers are terrible. I think that means that the radar cruise control isn't very inefficient.
Anyone know what the "one bar" adaptive cruise control distance is on the Mach E?Actually tuck in behind a Semi and you'll get way, way above EPA. In scaled wind-tunnel tests, driving 100 feet behind a semi at 55 mph will reduce drag on your car by 40%. The drag reduction increases as you approach the bumper of the truck until you get a 93% drag reduction at a distance of 2 feet. Don't recommend you try for the 93%!

Drive downhill the whole way and you'll beat it too, but I think we're throwing out the silly scenarios.Actually tuck in behind a Semi and you'll get way, way above EPA.
