Range test: 342 miles on a charge!

Got a California Route 1 RWD about six weeks ago, and have kept the charge level between 60-80% the whole time since. Three weeks ago I wanted to do a real-world range test, so charged it to 100%, reset the trip odometer, and drove it like we normally do--which is gently, it's pretty much always in Whisper. Mix of highway and local driving in the Bay Area, all real-world: taking kids to school, a few weekend trips, etc. In the middle of this it spent ten days in the parking lot of a body shop, after someone put a healthy dent in the door in a parking lot--it lost a percent or two while sitting there.

Needless to say I was shocked and amazed at how well it did--28 miles over the EPA rating of 314 miles! Posted a brief Twitter thread about it here.

I have a 2021 with less EPA range and have gotten 300 miles range driving on the highway at 75 mph. I was even able to get 270 miles of range at 75mph up a 6000 foot elevation change on one trip.
