Directions suggest an average speed over 500 mph. Not bad for driving.

If you put all of your blood vessels end to end they would go to the moon and back.

Being a little bit clever can lead you to make some pretty bad mistakes.
Yes, the distance according to roads can be different from the distance as the crow flies. No, it cannot realistically be 10x the distance when the crow's distance is 2500 miles.

#15Looks like a bug that I hope someone will have a fun time fixing.
I think the developers didn’t account for lost AirTags many hundreds of miles away. And that long calculation was not the best.

You would have to take an implausible number of wrong turns to have a chance of making it anywhere near that long a drive. For an example of a shorter but still entirely unreasonable path: Head straight north all the way to the pole, continue south to the pole, continue north to the latitude of the destination, then head due east until arrival.

Are you saying that you think Apple Maps is directing him to drive along a fractal instead of a road?

I question your use of the word “easily”.

You wouldn't imagine ...
I have seen API calls you people wouldn’t believe.
Requests hanging off the edge of the load balancer, Ethernet tubes glittering in the dark.
Latency logs reporting some API calls that took longer than the age of the universe.
Their means and percentiles burning on the shoulders of weekly reports.
Plot points dying at the edge of y axis
... like tears in the rain.
