Here's a report of today's drive from 100% charge to turtle mode: Bottom line - 86.5 miles.
Temperatures between 60 and 70 deg F
No A/C use
No freeway driving
All trips in D except where noted in ECO
I wasn't keeping close track of miles until 65.4 miles, so the earlier events are estimates using Google Maps.
Start of day: Charge = 100%, range showing: 12 bars remaining, 104 miles
Breakfast at the beach: round trip 15 miles, 9 bars remaining, 77 miles
Bank run: round trip 6 miles (total 21 miles), 8 bars remaining, 70 miles
Fun drive: round trip 39 miles (total 60 miles) 2 bars remaining, 22 miles
Question: Would you leave for an 11 mile round trip with 2 red bars and 22 miles on the display? We decided to go for it, in ECO.
Movie theater: round trip 11 miles ECO (total 71 miles) 1 bar remaining, 9 miles
Driving around near the house to get to turtle mode, all in D mode, headlights turned on, low speeds in neighborhood:

at 81.1 miles, --- displayed, voice notice that battery is very low, asking if we want guidance
at 84 miles, turned on heat to get to turtle faster
at 86.4 miles, turtle mode, display that motor power is limited
at 86.5 miles, pulled into driveway and stopped, put into Park and applied parking brake.
Car would no longer go into D or R gear but beeped instead and stayed in N.
With brake applied, car wouldn't turn off. But with foot removed from brake, car turned off.
Plugged in EVSE connector, dash lights flash normally indicating EVSE plugged in.
Overall trip economy displayed in car: 4.0 mi/kWh on dash display, 4.1 mi/kWh on central touch screen
