I’m seeing 80% 230-240 estimates for mixed driving, and even that’s ambitious.

I drive in sport mode, spend a lot of time coasting in neutral and drive the speed limit. Mileage is calculated based on the last trip m/kwh data. I've driven EVs for 13 years and if you watch your consumption, you can get more efficient. As much fun as the awesome acceleration is, it obviously consumes much more energy than the typical ICE vehicle acceleration. Keep your center dash display on the trip data. We live in Colorado, so a trip up to the high country obviously consumes more, but regenerative breaking (especially in sport mode) really increases m/kwh.
You should calculate what the mi/kwh is at 100% soc and 358 miles (well I did, its 2.73 mi/kwh). Then do the exact same driving and calculate it at 80% soc, it will be different.
Point being, the ford algorithm lies, and it doesn't use last trip for 100% soc.
I drive mine hard, have oversized tires, and drive a lot of highway. I typically get between 1.9 and 2.1 for most trips and mine still says 345 miles at 100% soc.
Fwiw, hard acceleration in an EV doesn't cause hardly any difference in efficiency, unlike an ICE vehicle
