For road trips at highway speed, you will get less actual miles. It’s just physics. But you should be able to do that 180mile round trip and drive normally. You could always plug in for a few hours at your parents house — sure it’s slow, but an extra 10-12 miles might be all you need to erase your range anxiety.
Play around with one of the trip planning tools (I use evtripplanner.com), or use the car Nav to run some scenarios — it’s gotten very good in the last updates.

Wondering if the performance tires on rumatt's car end up significantly affecting the range compared to the non-performance Model 3s?
