2.6/2.8. Miles per Kw - not a chance.
CdA is about the same as iX50 which is hitting 3 miles/kWh.Same size battery, couple of hundred kilos heavier.
Sound like 2.7 miles/kWh is on the money for mild weather consumption.
These guys just got 281 miles out of it:

I can see how someone could think that the owner of this car could be 'virtue signalling'. Spending £300k+ on a very conspicuous, ostentatious display of wealth and extravagance could be offset by the fact that it's an EV - the perception being that it's non-polluting, 'green'/better for the planet, etc. - 'See - I'm doing my bit'. I can imagine the heads nodding in silent approval, as you pull up outside the venue of the Brits/Oscars/wherever.
Not the way I think - however I can see why some might be a bit cynical.
I think it's as likely to be an effort to circumvent emission legislation in certain cities.Not the way I think - however I can see why some might be a bit cynical.
Low emission or zero emission city centre near your chosen destination at a business meeting or evening black tie event? No ICE, no problems and no compromises to be made: we go back to that Coco Chanel quote that "If it's not comfortable, it isn't luxury."

Has anyone heard of phone signal issues inside of the Rolls Royce Spectre?
No, have you?The result is that I have phone integration with "character". The bars on the display rarely exceed 2 and every so often bluetooth starts to crackle. If I disconnect and reconnect a few times it resolves.
I took that up with Rybrook in Birmingham, whence came the motor car, and their response was "them all do that them do, quoit characterful in't it". So I live with....character.

I've got a contemporary Roller among some more of BMW's oeuvre and phone integration is not their strongest suit. When I looked into it, BMW's attitude seemed to be that Apple should be making their phones work with BMWs, whereas Apple took the view that they release information about software upgrades well ahead of time and BMW should keep up.

It was just a silly joke comment, but I have a G11 7 series so agreed phone integration and signal strength is an issue at times so it scans that it would cross over to modern RRs if they use the same systems.
