Tesla exaggerating EV range for over a decade::undefined

I’ve tested in my own model 3 and the range and kwh usage is actually pretty accurate as advertised assuming you accelerate slowly, drive the speed limit, and don’t run the heat, and don’t have a strong headwind. Many people, including myself, absolutely do not drive like that, so the range will be less.
It seems like it’s an issue with manufacturing consistency/quality. The report said some cars were getting literally half their advertised range on daily commutes. That’s not an amount that could be accounted for by driving styles.

Wow that’s super embarrassing
