It's pretty variable in my Model 3. 65mph, steady, mild/warm - I burn ~240 Wh/mi. Drafting a bus or semi? I can get that down under 200 (<225 easily). Driving lazily around local/secondary roads is 160-180. In the rain on the highway? That's more like 280-310. And I've noticed, cruise control gives a boost. When driving manually you have a lot of tiny adjustments that have you going slower/faster by 5mph or so. Cruise nails it better, keeping it steadier and, as a result, more efficient.

Full disclosure - this is a 2018 Model 3 with 144K miles on it.

other than most of us here don't have an R2 yet, and won't for a while?
I misunderstood the thread, I didn't note it was a hypothetical discussion.
With that, why do we care about 3rd party data about the vehicle? I understand that ABRP/Plugshare/Google Maps/Apple Maps/etc can be used for planning but once we have the vehicle I understand Rivian Nav to be very good, one reason why I am choosing Rivian over my EV6, why not use it?

Rivian owns ABRP...
