I will say though, my trip down there and back this time, traffic was terrible on the way down, then we had the tire issue on the way back I did think to myself “I’m really glad I don’t have to stop and charge for 30 min”

it's true... i'm developing a whole new appreciation for wind resistance. drive 70+ in the ev and power consumption goes up quite a bit.
My lifetime efficiency in the R1S is 2.46 which is fantastic for the AT 20s. The reason it's so high is because my drive to work only has a short interstate section. Most of my commute is on a 4 lane 55mph highway with minimal stoplights. When I have to drive to the airport, it'll drop to 2-2.1 if I keep it between 70-75 and worse if I take it to 80+.

You save the most in stop and go traffic, you would hardly use any energy, even if you had the AC blasting (or heater). If you had an i7, you wouldn't be at the charger very long. It charges at 195 kW peak, giving you 80 miles of range in 10 minutes

Even at 80 mph, you are still getting over 100 MPGe unless you are hitting a giant hill or driving into the full force of a hurricane. My last trip driving 80 mph through various conditions (through hills and valleys) I averaged about 28 kWh per 100 miles. When I drove the Ioniq last week, I was averaging 29 kWh per 100 miles in "Standard" mode driving between 75 and 80 mph
