Pretty realistic with OEM aero wheels and ideal temps. My real world range over 16k miles is 210 miles in the winter with my 20” winter set (non-aero), 230-250 miles in regular SoCal weather on my 22s (non-aero), and about 260-270 on my OEM aero 21s.
Really depends on speed, elevation, temps, wheels (aero or not)/tire setup, and wind
1. Speed: Many of us in CA/NV/AZ/TX/UT/ID have speed limits at 70-80mph which means 85-95mph realistic traffic speeds so we get less range. We get it that the Northeast is slow and you get better range.
2. Elevation: You obviously lose range going on uphill drives (eg. Vegas-SLC) and get more range going downhill.
3. Temps: You lose 20-35% range in the cold (below 40F) and it’s worse if you run the heaters (seats @1%/hour and the blowing heater at 3-7%/hour)
4. Wheel/Tire setup: You lose 20% ish range without aero wheels. You lose 5-10% with wider tires or non-LRR/EV tires.
5. Wind: It’s a crapshoot but if you’re against it I’ve seen <1.7mi/kWh and if it’s a tailwind, you barely notice it.
You’re never going to use the “full” range of your car. I’ve done 100% to <2% at a charger but obviously not recommended. Effective range is 150 miles in winter and 200 miles non-winter between charges.
