Pre-dawn E-W Satellite?

About 5:20 a.m., did anyone else observe a very bright white and fast-moving light going west to east, and pulsing a little faster than 1/sec? Much faster than other satellites and much much faster than aircraft. No formation lights. It took <20 seconds to cross the entire sky and abruptly faded toward the dawn sky.

Falcon booster? Failed satellite?

And yep, I know this invites some clever replies, so put a little effort into those, please.

EDIT: Got the west-to-east direction right

EDIT EDIT: Likely debris from a previous launch. Was very bright and moving quickly. Hope others got to see it, it was pretty unique.

About to close on a 2025 MME Rally. 90% of the drivjng will be urban/suburban, but there'll be an occasional ~225-mi road trip, all highway.

Optimistic estimated ranges aside, based on your own GT/Rally experiences, what can I realistically expect to see at interstate speeds? Let's presume:

+ 100% charge

+ 75-80 mph avg, no zoomies

+ Whisper mode

+ Level terrain

+ No head/tail winds

+ OEM wheels (19") and tires (CrossClimate)

Curious how the higher speeds and minimal regen impacts range, bases on real-world conditions. Are 200+ nonstop interstate miles an okay or a no-way? Thanks!
