They advertised 300+ miles on a charge but the 80% threshold only gave around 290, which has since shrunk to around 275 - for whatever reason, I don't know. The car is perfect for what we use it for, and it will be interesting when we get our true up on our solar panel net metering next May to see if charging it causes us to have to pay something. When it needs tires, I'll try to check for some that have the least rolling resistance and road noise.

A friend that has a model 3 (single motor) asked for some advice after discovering a nail in a tire. It seems the tires come with a foam liner. I googled it and a test showed a 1db reduction in noise at one of the test speeds comparing with and without the foam liner. Maybe ask Tirerack if they will start adding rolling resistance to the specs. Side note - I drove the car and it has enough acceleration for any reasonable situation.
