965 km ... so aprox 1000km.

Wow, 1 megameter for a vehicle weighing 2 megagrams. That's some serious efficiency

There's a good chance you are mistaken. It was not specified which type of mile they are referencing.

The only sensible mile to use would be the Scandinavian mile (10.000m). = 6000km range.

Another possibility is the nautical mile (1852m). = 1.111,2km range.

And there are plenty of other "miles" to choose from.

Like Miles Davis... (1.69m give or take a trumpet)

For the trumpet to affect his height... Did he wear it as a hat?

No. He leans back, and blazes music like a bonfire into the night sky.
