And I just spent a whole mid day driving with a clear wet right lane and a clear tire track/slushed left. I pass a slow right lane Model 3. And the guy gets a bug up his butt, to the left going 10 over, just to chicken out and slow back down in front. The only other intentionally dangerous move I saw yesterday was tailgating. An everyday driver economy EV that defeats conditions doesn't exist yet.
Is your car a 20-80% fast charge? With normal conditions, what is fastest miles per minute recovery? And to what usable range for a next highway stint? If you get a chance to test. I've seen an early Lyriq posted charging video where there was an unexplained dip in the middle of charging at 100-something kW.

Haven’t been on a trip of any length and likely won’t before I have to return the car.
Rate for level 2 at home has been 32 miles per hour of charging. At a Charge Point DC charger I got 24.6 kWh in 27 minutes. At my current 3.2 miles per kWh that’s about 80 miles in half an hour. Honestly not sure what would happen with a Super Charger. I haven’t observed anything strange with the charging though.
One thing I did notice on a shorter highway trip, 120 miles round trip, was at a bit over 70 the range drops faster than accumulated miles. May do the same with an ICE, but I’ve never noticed it. Probably because with the EV I was more concerned with it and watching
