We don't use those newfangled metric thingees around here.
I think I'm back down to 337 Wh/mile lifetime (~210 Wh/km) - In decent weather I usually manage about my rated 308 Wh/mile (~192 Wh/km), better if I'm not in a hurry, but too many of my current miles were put on at 75 mph (~120 kph) in freezing weather during a pair of long winter road trips.
But it's all about the usage. Short trips, cold weather, high speeds all make it a lot worse.

My AP1 & AP2 have been the same, so I don't think coming out in the past month matters. Just about 10,000 miles between the two and in cold weather I get the following on full charge:
85% in mild weather at local speeds (~70F)
90% in mild weather at mixed highway/local
75% in cold weather (<30 F)
50% while towing in mild weather
35% while towing at highway speeds in cold weather
Take those and multiply by the rated charge % numbers and that's what I get.

yes. however charge to 100% if you can before you leave. worst case, just stop at Oxnard.
EDIT: abetterouteplanner.com says you can't on one charge. might be the elevation changes and/or speed. the navigation system will tell you for sure if you can or can't.
150 miles at 75 should be an easy trip for a 75, even starting from 90%, unless there's a lot of altitude gain or serious winds.
As always, pay attention to what the car is predicting and think about fallback options.

That’s only tight if you’re going to be driving at 100mph, it’s cold, or you’re towing a trailer.
Keep it under 490wh/mi and you’ll be fine.
Yesterday drove 409km averaging 189Wh/km with fully loaded car and going 100km/h. There was a charge in between, but the EPA range numbers look pretty realistic to me. Looks I might be able to go past 400km mark going 90km/h or bit below.

My X 75D has averaged 454 Wh/mile over 5k miles, mostly local use - typically 15 mile trips at fairly high speed. It’s dropped closer to 400 Wh/mile in the summer and I’ve seen 350 Wh/mile on longer trips at moderate speed. I don’t make any effort to reduce consumption as I’m not range limited at all.
so that is equivalent of 165 miles real world range even at 100%? (75000/454) that's a pretty big difference from the 237 advertised.
It looks worse than it is because this is an accumulation of short fast trips. If I did a single long steady trip I would be under 400 Wh/mile, maybe 350 or less depending on speed. My 454 Wh/mile is pretty much a worse case scenario. I think 200 miles is a realistic range for a long journey without too much speed compromise. But I haven't used it for such a long trip yet to confirm.
I have an X 75D loaner this week so have been charging it to 100% since not my car
Sounds about right to me. Dropping the speed to 70 mph would have made that range more comfortable, but shows it can be done without any real compromise.

I'm sure you did all the figuring, but I really love my S. It has almost as much room as the X (I know, I know) and we haul around 3 grand kids and their luggage all the time, or four if we throw the baby in the frunk. JK!! Better aero, better handling, better range, lower purchase price.
OK. End of my silly suggestion.
