Not OP but I rented a model 3 for 2.5 weeks from avis while my truck was in the shop. The whole EV concept was super cool since I had free charging at my office, but for the life of me I couldn't get comfortable in the car... I'm 6'2 and around 200 pounds for reference. By day 4 I was so done with it and was ready to get my truck back. The self-steering and radar cruise was super touchy too... on a 2 hour drive from Houston to Austin, the car brake checked me 5 times for no reason

The AC definitely takes some range off (I rented in texas), but not enough for it to drop your jaw or anything
