That's further than I'd drive before a 20 minute rest stop, and faster than it's legal to drive anywhere in the US, except for Texas State Highway 130.
As opposed to the Cybertruck, which has a revolutionary, but very expensive, design featuring only one windshield wiper.
Cybertruck is a bad comparison, everyone already knows that thing is a steaming pile of hot garbage.
I don't think comparing it to cybertruck is really a win. I could be in a bubble, but I hear nothing but terrible things about them.
Also, anecdotally, going on long family trips in my van, I frequently do 350 miles between stops on 900 mile trips. I'd say 80 is a typical speed on the Ohio turnpike, but I'd be a little worried about driving that thing pedal to the floor for 2-3 hours straight (no worries though, it'll never get that range at full speed).
That said, hey if this car meets your needs I'm all for that. Everyone should have options. I would consider buying one for my kids when they start driving as long as it's safe in accidents.
It also doesn't meet US auto safety standards.
Yeah here in the uk there's plenty of good charging points, woodland trust and national trust are putting them in at a lot of locations so I could plan a relaxing walk in the woods with my journey if I ever needed to go more than 150 miles, I think that would be really nice.
Supermarkets have tave them too, so I could plan getting the shopping I need for the trip while it charges, this would allow me to avoid predatory pricing at garages too.
I just looked on a road distance map and it's about where I would normally stop for a break, I've done longer drives but only rarely and I can't think of a time an excuse to stop for a walk in the woods wouldn't have been welcomed.
Oh and I only have one wiper but it was made by Hyundai so I guess it gets a pass lol
