In Tucson, with warm weather and fairly flat terrain, I was getting 40 miles. In Washington, with lots of hills, and a cooler climate it is more like 35 miles.
 
Mine typically shows 36 on full charge though one time it showed 38.

In reality the longest stretch I've ever driven on a single charge was 32.7 miles, mostly highway driving around 70mph and there wasn't much traffic so no real regeneration opportunity on the highway, just for the stretch into town once I got off the highway

I believe the display showed only 4 miles of range remaining but in the driver journal it shows 13.5kWh consumed and 1.5kWh regenerated so in reality I suspect I probably could've squeaked out another 8 miles if I was being intentional about the driving.

Parking garage had a L2 charger so for the trip home I had a full battery so didn't get a chance to see if it would get to 40+ miles. The return trip was in a similar boat from a consumption standpoint (12.8 kWh consumed, 2.6kWh regenerated) and then plugged it in when I got home so again didn't actually run it down.
 
I went on a 42 mile round trip today with "<0.1 gal" used. Mostly flat doing between 35 and 60 on Illinois state routes around Chicago.
First leg: 43 minutes, 21.3 miles, 9kWh used and 2.5 regenerated.
Return: 39 minutes, 21.1 miles, 9.5kWh used and 2.4 regenerated.
The Driver Performance screen showed between .30 kWh per mile consumption up to .60 kWh per mile.

A/C was on but it was mild out, no cruise control. Made it home with about 5% when I plugged it in.

I've seen published ranges vary wildly between countries. 47 is probably the theoretical max at just above .30 kWh per mile consumption. 0.35 per mile for 47 miles would mean 16.45 kWh usable...
Would be extremely difficult to do real world if you have to accelerate from stoplights at all. Maybe at 40 MPH on a country road...
