I took a road trip from Fremont to Sacramento and back today. 209 miles round trip (about 190 on the interstate with cruise control set to 65mph), 52.2KWHr used. The gauge showed 34 miles left when I got home. I can confirm that 238 miles is within reason.
I preheated the car from the AC line before starting, but turned off the climate control for the trip. I used the seat heater and the steering wheel heater for the first 10 miles, but had to turn them off because I was too hot. It was about 40F during the trip there.
The state of charge gauge seem pretty accurate; at least as accurate as the fuel gauge in an ICE car. It seems to be linear.
The distance to empty gauge started out at 209 in the middle, but adjusted to the driving conditions pretty quickly. During most of the trip it was dropping one mile for each odometer mile. It changes color to orange at about 15% remaining.
I used Apple Car Play and the maps App. That integration is acceptable. I would prefer an easy way to switch between native apps (e.g. the energy display) and ACP apps. Maybe it would work better with ACP equivalents to the native apps. Receiving and responding to text messages using ACP worked well.
The main dash display is clearly visible with polarized sunglasses. The console display appeared washed out, but still visible.
