So, the 230 mile range they advertise for the Lightning, is that at 100% charge or 80% charge?

That's at "100%" charge in quotes as the percentage scale is kind of meaningless as far as the actual battery is concerned. The percentage is just how we represent battery state via software to give us an idea of what it can do.

BMS systems don't charge the cells to the absolute physical max, nor do they allow them to discharge to zero. They are programmed to charge/discharge within a particular range that is a good trade-off between usable cycle capacity and battery pack lifetime, and then they call that range 0-100%.
