… of course there’s a catch.
Just got back from Tahoe (Incline Village). Route was up to Truckee, down 80, cut across (via REI near downtown to grab some electrons for free) to I-5 and over 580/205 back to 92 to Half Moon Bay.
A big chunk of that is obviously downhill, but at 75+ the entire way in All-Purpose mode, managed 3.08 mi/kwh (with a couple of major slowdowns in the bay area). Easily can get from Tahoe back to the coast from 85% with a comfortable buffer, esp if I tone it down on the speed. Pretty sure I can get up there without any issues from 100%, but I’ll probably take it easy and grab some charge in Sac anyway since it’s free and pretty much on the way.
My Tundra, even with the benefit of the downhill, would still best-case hit 19 mpg over the same drive.
