This is showing a 22% reduction in drag coefficient(and nothing else) yielding a 78% increase in range at 75 mph.

He was talking about the high mileage version...310 mile range. Still, he is also talking about 40+% range gain on only a 22% drag reduction. Seems a little counter intuitive to me too.
