Range impact if tonneau cover is open when driving?

[kosmo886]

Anyone tested a highway drive with the cover open and closed to figure out rough range impact?

I have a very unscientific experiment with it.
Drove one way with it close, drove back with it open.

It was like 10-20% more battery usage (almost all highway driving).

There's probably someone who's actually tested this though ?

Think of it this way, "In what situation would it matter?"

Charging at home, running around during the day, returning with 50% battery? It doesn't matter.

Going on a cross-country? You may have to stop a little earlier, but odds are you won't notice it.
