"Aside from perhaps Montana/etc I've never seen a highway with a single 75MPH speed limit"
Well, South Dakota I-90 where Tesla put their chargers is a single 75mph on a very busy two lane interstate with a lot of truck traffic.
Minnesota is a single 70mph on I-90. Thinking about it, I haven't seen a split speed limit in the upper plains.
"You in a Tesla driving 65 in the right lane is not going to affect traffic much."
"In the wide open spaces, there's enough room it doesn't matter."
You are going to be a nice blocker in traffic that generally flows along at 75 - 85 mph. It is a very busy truck corridor and you going 65mph is going to be a problem.
