I drive (Sport mode always) mostly rural 2 lane and a 15-20 mph headwind plus driving rain will put me sub 2.0. The only time I’ve ever pushed the limit was a 100% charge and 294 mile round trip in 70-80 degree weather and enough summer traffic to significantly slowdown the rural 2 lane and freeway. No charging and I probably could’ve rolled 340. Summer 45 mph tourist traffic and afternoon 80 F, light tailwind will do that.

I drove from Ellensburg to Spokane in September at 65 mph and I had a 15-20 mph tailwind and was drafting long haulers (when I could) at a respectful 125-150 feet and averaged 2.4 m/kWh.. though likely mostly due to tailwind. The reverse trip was a at 1-6-1.7 at 65-70 into 10-15 mph headwinds.

My daily commute at 45-54 mph in 65+weather gets me to 2.4-2.5 summer, 2.2-2.3 winter.

A no charge round trip estimate in the winter is 250-270ish mile range. Summer is about 300. YRMV.

You are correct, the brake lights only engage if in 1pd or if pressing the brake pedal.
This has been proven false many times.
