EVs dont lose 50% of their range at highway speeds. Even if they did, I'm not sure why you think you could only go 37 miles between charges (I think you meant 75 mi?).

Round trip, you can go somewhere up to ~37 miles away and drive home to recharge on a single charge. You're both saying the same thing:)

Yes, they do, compared to 25 mph. I even gave you the chart.
Tesla does not quote a 550 mile range for the Model 3, any more than an ICE car’s range is stated as what a hypermiler could get.
As the chart shows, the reverse would be true: if they’re advertising a 150 mile range you would be able to beat that considerably if you drove at 30mph.

Yes, because it's true. But who drives at 30 mph? Grandmas maybe. Not exactly target audience for a truck.
The peak efficiency is actually at 25 mph, not 30.
