Idk if the M3/Y has the same Energy screen as the S/X, but I use that screen a lot when making trips. It has a really nice interface to let you know if you are gaining or losing ground over the course of the trip. I can then adjust my speed to match my needs. For example, if the estimated battery level at the end of the drive (I think it's called energy at destination) keeps dropping, I keep dropping my speed until it stabilizes. If it starts moving up then I will increase my speed.
But yes, 77mph is a range killer. No different than an ICE. Wind drag goes up exponentially, not linearly, with speed.
