Unless I am planning on driving a specific distance which might tax my current SoC; (which basically happens almost never), I just don’t give a damn whether I’m getting 2.4 mile/kWhr or 3.5 mile/kWhr.
It’s just so much more fun being able to drive an iX using more of its abilities. It’s not a Bolt or Leaf FFS! lol
I don't receive any particular satisfaction in leaving 98% of vehicles in my wake. That's just not something that interests me. I enjoy driving as stress-free and safely as possible. Just my thing.
