Took my first road trip in the R2! -- 100% to 5% 263 miles range

They didn't lie; they did decide to use and market the car using the EPA cycle, which they knew would result in a higher range than the cycle used by the leading sales model in the segment. Justify that however you want.

And what car brand does not use EPA-certified numbers in their marketing??

They all do, but some prefer picking the cycle that matches more to real-world expectations (Tesla recently) or even go so far as to be conservative and report lower range to make sure owners are satisfied (Porsche).

Full trip:
262.8 miles
3.03 mi/kWh
86.8 kWh used

About on par with my old Model S 90D. Which is impressive for a brick.
