Teslas really are not great cars

Do they also dim for bicycles, pedestrians and their dogs? If so, that’s awesome.

No. They follow curves and have blank spots when shining at an oncoming car.

This time of year I’m often walking the dog in the dark, and I’d much rather be blinded by someone’s high beams than have them not see me.

That’s why i leave them on until i see someone. But it’s nasty to have lights in your eyes.

Better lights in the eyes than Tesla tire treads, at least…

Maybe i used the wrong app. Also, when the speed limit is 70, the range shown is significantly more than the actual range.

Not owning a Kia I can’t answer for that but in my Bolt the optimum speed for max distance is 45mph. Above that it slowly declines as speed increases to 65 then it drops off a cliff. Accordingly when I’m on the road I stay in the right-hand lane at 65mph, the same speed as a lot – but not all – semitrailer trucks.
