According to the Atto 3 owner's manual, a break-in period of 2000 km is required, in which one should not maintain high or low speeds for too long. Would 100-110 kmh in this context be considered high speed? Would it be wise to purchase an Atto 3 and then the next day drive 600 km at mainly highway speeds?
Don’t know how it differs EV to ICE, but in old tech 100kph for 6 hours would be what is suggested you don’t do.
The manuals would suggest not staying at one speed for extended time, some say to not go over a certain rev limit.
Another page suggest EV run in was more for calibration & bedding in brakes.

I think this is more of a cut and paste from their PHEV and hybrid cars owners manuals. There is no "break in period" for electric motors. There is literally no touching parts other than the two bearings holding the armature in the motor. Roller bearings do not need a "2000km break in"
Another consideration. If anything thing we're to come loose or leave the factory with a minor fault/leak anywhere on the car, throwing it around could make things worse prior to the first service. But mostly I'd say it's just about bedding in mechanical bits and pieces
