My lifetime for 5k miles is 477, but it's like 90% interstate and going 80. I'm ok with it.
Love the truck but I'm struggling with it re range- in Northern Colorado and Wyoming = 75mph+ Freeways and limited and slow chargers (at least in Wy) = frustrating being in a beast I have to drive under the speed limit in (kind of defeats the purpose)...that and when I have dirt bikes poking above the truck they really have an impact (not to mention I couldn't go 4x4 in the middle of nowhere because I was at 20% with nearest 115kw charger 40mi away. It works but as Sammy said "I cant drive 55".....and in my use case I have to (well maybe 65). It'll work, and understand I'm a corner case, but for a truck I maintain they should have shot for 150-160kw battery IMHO.

10 week and 2,000 mile check in after completing a 105 mile 90% highway round-trip. Carded 326 Wh/mi on the day and still humming along at 333 Wh/mi lifetime.

Loving the efficiency, ride comfort, acceleration and interior room of this amazing machine!

For those catching the end of the thread, I'm running an AWD on 35" all terrains and typically drive in Sport mode and like to use the Go Fast pedal (coming from a 2021 Model S Plaid).
