Notably, 200 wh/mi is at least 20% too optimistic. OTOH, ABRP seems to underestimate the charge KW rate a little bit, but it doesn't seem to be enough.

We’ve driven the west-coast corridor a bunch and contemplated several getting a different brand EV to go with our Tesla. Often seen/watched/checked-on-ABRP the EA sites down to just one or two working CCS chargers e.g. at Woodbury, OR. It put us off this year at least.
>Conner tells us that he had the engineers at both Porsche and Electrify America on speed dial for this run.

"I had to move from cord to cord or cabinet to cabinet at some locations, but I was never stranded."
The 5 star Euro NCAP is mostly worthless on rear impact: https://www.businessinsider.com/porsche-taycan-5-star-crash-... " In these seat and head-restraint tests, Euro NCAP propelled a dummy with a realistic spine on a sled at both 10 and 15 mph, mimicking a rear collision. This is the type of crash most likely to inflict a neck sprain or whiplash injury. In general, manufacturers design seats so the headrests are as close to the back of an occupant's head as possible. As you can see by the orange in these diagrams, Euro NCAP assessed only "marginal" protection for the seat and head restraints in both the front and rear seats. "

It is just advertising for Electrify America (owned by VW, like Porsche), and a worthless Record without telling how long they took to drive the whole distance.
A Tesla Model S crossed the country in 42 hours and 17 minutes.
