It's a horrible metric for EVs. I own an EV (not a Tesla) and probably average 75% of the stated range, and much less than that when I'm in situations where it matters.
Most importantly, the "wind-in-your-hair kind of travel" that you call "noise" is exactly the kind of travel where EV owners care most about accurate range estimates.

Should there be a metric for EV owners to yell about that measure "Road Trip Range"? Maybe! But that's not what the existing efficiency measures were designed to do.
