This truck hates high speeds. I think I dip into 1.6-1.8mi/kWh when I get into the 80s which would be 156-175miles of range, right in line with your numbers

While I usually have a heavy foot, I find I naturally settle around 70-75mph on this truck.
Yeah seems about right. I refuse not to have fun in this truck unless I'm driving a long distance, then might as well turn the hazards on and slap a sign on the back that says go around please lol

I'm getting about 215 miles (98% of rated) out of the full charge of a SR Pro. Climate zone 6.
For comparison, I'm getting 280 miles (89% of rated) out of a full charge on a R1T.
I had to choose between the two. I have not driven any of them. Pro seemed like a better bang for the buck but sometimes I wonder. Love to hear your thoughts on the major differences and what it is like to live with them.

I could write a book at this point. To sum it up, two very different trucks depending on what you’re looking for and what your usage is like.

Anything particular you want to know?

Some general things.
F-150L is quieter, more comfortable, and a better family car.

R1T is surprisingly good as a work truck, gets the most positive comments in terms of looks, and impressive for a first car from the company.

So far in about 2500 miles I am averaging 2.1mi/kwh on my Lariat ER which would be ~275 miles. In local driving I see between 2.3 and 2.5 which would give me the EPA range. On a recent ~1000mi road trip, I averaged 2.0mi/kwh overall. In the mornings when it was colder I was getting 1.7 to 1.8 (heater on) but that went up to 2.1-2.2 in the afternoon when it warmed up (climate off). This was travelling between 72 and 77 mph for the majority of the highway miles.

Overall almost exactly when I expected, so I have no complaints.

What is everyone actually getting?
I realized in my xLT ER that at 100% charge, the most range I have ever gotten is 380km (this being the trucks estimate I’m talking about.) not actually driven range.
I’ve never seen my estimated remaining range more than 400 km ever. Even at 100%. Most of the time I’m at 80% percent and drive the lightning every day long distances, so I haven’t really noticed because I charge it often.
Is it because I finally of highway at 120km/hr?
Are you confused that real world driving doesn't equal EPA estimates (on any vehicle), or that cold will dramatically impact range? Or both?

And yes, I love taking naysayers for their first spin0-60 . They always giggle.

That lines up. Ok. I feel better now. Lifetime average so far is 30kwh/100km. That’s around 2mi/kWh

I'll sit at the speed limit of an interstate. The math doesn't add up between increased battery usage when speed increases... and just how fast you end up getting some where (even an in ICE.) 450 miles at a constant 70mph comes out to about 6h and 25 minutes. 450 mi at 80mph comes out to about 5hr and 37 minutes. The 48 minute difference is just not worth it to me. And then that's not taking into account if you get pulled for speeding. Lost all that time and now you have a giant fat ticket.

It all depends on the driving you just did... I went probably a month without any interstate driving and my ER was showing 370 miles of range on 100%... now this weekend I just drove 650 miles, 95% of that interstate at 72-75 mph (1.9/2.0 mi/kwh) and now my full charge shows 271 miles.

Now that I'm back to being a shuttle for my kids around town; my Guess o Meter hasn't gone down in two days.

Further south of you, So Cal - SR Lariat getting 270 mi (440kM) range.

Dropped about 10% from 290 mi (460 kM) max I had when temps were in the 80-90'F (32'C)

Very slow traffic - urban jungle - bumper to bumper - no climate controls.

I average 3 mi/kWh.

Maybe someone said it in your post but it depends on your driving.. if you are going on interstate, 75 and 2.0 mi/kwh (131kw battery * 2.0mi/kwh= 260 miles of range on 100%) versus around town of 2.8 mi/kwh (131*2.8= 366 miles of range)
