Just updated the post with Part 2 and requested info mentioned in the video. Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much for the update, was hoping that somehow it being open would INCREASE range.
1. Because the rear camera gets gummed up a lot
2. Because would really be nice to get over 200 miles of range when going highway speed and using most of the pack

Appreciate you doing the work to test that for us!

Kind of a slanted perspective. Maximum in the state, and then it breaks up some states but not others.

Majority of the country is 70+ limit
Keeping up with traffic speed in most of the country on those highways is 75-85 so I think an 80 MPH test is well within reason.

My point --- the perspective was how many counties/places are 85 relative to others. (ie. sign in picture)

I understand that.
