Which is not surprising. Our R has about the same range as our Tesla.

457 miles/tank is not poor range (says the guy that has to fill up about every 220 miles).

Though with a 14 gallon tank I generally get about 325 miles between fill-ups with 25 miles or so to spare.

I usually reset the trip odo with each tank, but I am positive that isn't just one tank. I only get around 200 miles a tank.

I really hate the idea of replacing the brakes on this car considering I'm not thinking I'll have it that much longer.

What are you going to get?

I haven't walked away from that S4 allocation slot yet. I won't be taking ED. But the car will be shipped to my local dealer once built. Probably get there in late August/early September.

No money has changed hands. But they are treating that slot as a customer order.

Yeah, ours rarely goes more than 200 miles on a tank.

I commute with a lot of highway (at full highway speeds) so that is probably two tanks worth of mileage.
