That is borderline adequate for today, but will fall well short of Model 3's range next year. And that of the Bolt.

Well in that case, you should get 50% more!

Also curious as to what coding extends the range to nearly double. Or are you talking about also using the REX?
He is including the Rex in his range. Coding does not increase battery range. It does increase gas range by about 20 miles and makes the car 1 million times more usable because you can engage the Rex at 75% battery life. Standard US coding won't allow Rex to start until 6% battery life which severely neuters the car.
