During my "spirited" test drive, in 15 miles the range dropped by about 33 miles, I have a fun route that is about 80 miles, I would be very interested to see how bad the range would be there when pushing the car. Most of these "tests" in which people are getting close to 300 miles (haven't seen one cross that yet, best I've seen is a 4S get ~270-280) they are driving in range mode, which turns your Porsche into a FWD eco-machine (literally as it decouples the rear). Curious to see what day to day milage with a mix of highway, city, suburbs and some fun would get.
