Anybody looking for a mid-range Golf/ID.3 type car (excluding top models like GTI/R/etc.) cares very little about 0-100Km/h times. In the same vein they also didn't announce the Nürburgring lap times.
Edit. Also based on the numbers Tesla publishes for the same car the difference between WLTP and EPA is less that 7%. Is it expected that in some cases it varies up to 15%?
- zaroth 7y ago254 vs 240mi for SR+ but 348 vs 310mi for the LR.
- close04 7y agoTesla M3 SR+ is advertised as 240mi (386Km) EPA in the US vs. 409Km WLTP in the EU, a 6% difference. The LR is 310mi (~500Km) EPA vs. 560Km WLTP, a 12% difference. Assuming the tests are designed in such a way that for some reason they start to diverge massively the longer the range (6% at 240mi but 12% at 310mi) then for an ID.3 with a 210mi range there is no reason at this point to assume 15% difference but rather under 10%. Given that you obviously know the numbers your extrapolation, while it may turn out to be true, seems more bad faith than reasonable assumption at this point.
- zaroth 7y agoYou can’t extrapolate like that. 15% is just a rule of thumb. I had to lookup the numbers to provide the reply, I didn’t know them off hand. Some shorter range cars (e.g. BMW i3) have larger drops (19%). I just found a spreadsheet on Reddit which shows the average for all cars OP could find is a drop of 11.5% https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BvlOf89ebiT0n16ma1V2pA01sZW2tkC4W5xPy-_YNyM/htmlview?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BvlOf89ebiT0n16ma1V2...
