  > more than 412 mi No, 400 miles is about right as an average range as long as your charging is fast. ICE cars achieve that easily. The Toyota Prius has 640 miles of range. > faster than a Model S Yes. > close to parity for long distance It isn't. There's no point pretending the situation is other than it is.
