Without going back and watching I think he said around 287.

I know he stated a projection but was waiting for the final, maybe I missed it

At 11:45 in the video when the range meter reads 0 he states he has been 287.9 if he stopped then and he went another few miles putting him over 290 miles.

I don't think he actually said. But he hit 0% at 4282.1 on the ODO, and that's around the point he said he'd gotten 287.9mi of range so far. The ODO was at 4293.7 when it stopped driving. So:
  1. He got about 10mi more after the SOC hit 0%, and he was mostly highway driving during that time.
  2. He also would have ended up with very close to 300mi total driving.
  3. Nice to know that the 12v was still providing enough juice for his door opener and the infotainment screen after the car was dead. You'll need to access the emergency tow option in the infotainment screen to get the car into neutral.
Very informative video. Good to see the actual process of how the car dies. He was already on an offramp and driving pretty slowly when the car died, but I think he noted that the car was slowing itself down at the end. So I guess (hope) that's what would happen if you were barreling down the highway.

Oh, but I wonder what the tow truck driver was doing in the frunk near the end of the video? Shouldn't be anything necessary there for the tow process....

He could have definitely used a little more common sense and made sure he was in a safer location when the car died. Informative video though and great to see the car exceeding the range estimate.

He's a car salesman, you expected better? I spent 5 years running chase trucks in NYC and know first hand the dangers tow drivers go thru!

He made a comment that the bumper charging wires will allow the doors to be open... is that actually to jump the 12V? I thought that was just a mechanism to pop the hood up, then you'd have to jump the 12V?

Certainly a lot better way to run a range death test rather than stranding yourself in traffic and putting tow truck drivers on the line
Of course if you’re looking to be trendy and edgy and get eyeballs it’s perfect
Hey look what I just did it’s cool right💩🤬
He’s a pinhead. Grow up children. Stop being slaves to your own images and making dangerous mistakes because of it

This part is correct. Dead 12 volt? Use the wires, pop the hood, remove the plastic coverings, jump the 12 volt, open the doors, start the car. Easy. :p
