This thread suggests maybe a 25 percent hit? https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/thre...80-mph.266680/

Yep. Of course. Which is why I need to understand the scale of the loss in range.
The difference in the (old) GT3 chugging along at 70-75mph in sixth versus 85 to……120mph is like 18mpg versus the low teens.
Pushing a lot more air.
I’d not change my driving style hence this beta test. I’ll try to do it this week.
