R2 highway range test with 20" inch A/T tires (Tom from State of Charge)

Please stop. This is precisely why people coming from an ICE vehicle are disappointed in an EV for road tripping. They come here , read all the happy talk of 270 mile Interstate driving range. They put down there 50K and its Oh by the way you can only use 200 miles of that 270 mile range you read about. It's "bad etiquette " to DCFC charge over 80%, Oh you really don't want to run your battery down below 15-20%. I get you can charge 100% at home and make a round trip end up back at home at 0% and make your 270 miles but stop pretending your going to do that on a 3 or 4 charging stop road trip. Your not doing Rivian or EV's in general any favors.
