I live in Montana. This means that a 500 mile EPA range (which i read as 500 miles on a mild day with no accessories activated) is going to mean a real range of around 400, cut down to 200 when the weather inevitability drops and stays below -10f (Tesla owners in MT were reporting exactly that - half the range in the cold weather). 200m, if you allow for an emergency buffer, can be a trip from home to the city around here. Or going from one city to another. Texas offers similar length trips, just with AC instead of heating.
