I hope you are right, but I came up with 13.5 kW for air plus road resistance.
I may be a little low: the 0.21 Cd may not be quite achieved and my 0.46m2 CdA estimate may be too low, at least until the DOT lets Tesla drop sideview mirrors. (I can't imagine EU and Japanese M3s will ever have such antiques.) I'm also assuming that the M3 base tires will be very free-rolling, at least as good as the Michelins on the Bolt. But I think your 13.5 kW at 70 estimate and my 12 kW pretty much bracket what will be achieved. The highway range at real freeway speeds will be outstanding.
