Ok what am I doing wrong?

I knew I was going to be running from softball game to soccer to softball to soccer today so I put the charge at Max. Put it on chill mode, range mode, and 60% was on highway (75mph average).

I know going 75mph causes much more drain, had to do it because of the time crunch, but starting with 300+ on my dash and finishing with 161 (made it home at 11 miles left) is just concerning for using this as a family vehicle.

Car was loaded up with 2 adults, two small children, and some gear so the weight was more than normal too. Trying to give as much info and be fair about it, we definitely put some pressure on the battery today but that kind of loss still just seems wrong. Also, I do have 22" rims.

Am I doing something wrong? Are my expectations out of wack? For $150k+ this seems a little jacked up. Any tips, tricks, or just comprehension is appreciated.
