450 miles of Range

So I found that it is easy to get 450 miles of range per charge here in Tucson. The streets in the city typically have speed limits between 35 and 50 mph, and it is very easy to time the lights so that you only need to stop at about 1 out of 5 or 6 lights. The steady slow speed combined with easy acceleration and regenerative braking allows me to use only about 140Wh per mile or about 7 miles per kWh. The Model 3 is a Great city car, requiring only a 1/week charge session at the local Supercharger unless I hit I-10 or I-19 at 65 or 70mph whereupon the range dropped to the standard 307 or so. Taking it easy in the city gives the car more range than a tank of gas gives an ICE for comparable driving.
