I guess it depends on how you define "range". How long will it take to drive across five states in a Tesla Model S as compared to a Porsche Taycan? We know the answer for the Tesla because people do it every day, across many combinations of states. How far you can drive on a single charge means a lot less in practice than how far you can drive in a reasonable amount of time while charging at real, plentiful Supercharger stations.

  Teslas have moved past the "theoretically can we drive across the US" a long time ago. Nobody questions if any EV can do it given a careful selection of start and end points, route planning, and luck with third party charging stations working properly (they often do not). The practical range-based use cases are way more meaningful, and they're proved out every day by real world Tesla owners doing normal things. But it is nice to see these proof of concept demonstrations with other EVs. I think it's been a few years since a Tesla going from Niagara Falls to NYC warranted a press release.

    So, no answer on the Model S's endurance then? I answered your question, why not answer mine instead of offering up evasions? If you don't know, simply say you don't know.

        Ah, so again less distance covered. I accept your concession to the Taycan's win.

  The question was "How long will it take to drive across five states". So you really didn't answer the question and pivoted to something completely unrelated. Since you are linking Bjørn Nyland Youtube videos including the Kona. Why not include the one below? "Model 3 WORLD RECORD 2781 km in 24h - full video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TFpkoESEko https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TFpkoESEko A real world example, not a marketing video on a closed circular track with a factory crew and dedicated onsite fast charger. Bjørn's tests are on open roads (with detours and colder climate) more like a cannonball run. There's a video of him addressing this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2ArIq0QRX4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2ArIq0QRX4

    > So you really didn't answer the question Don't be a sad case. > 2781 km in 24h So.. less then. And not a Model S but a Model 3. Too bad. > A real world example Just like the others then.

      > So.. less then Let's see.. 2781km > 1000km in 24 hrs or real world driving. You cannot dispute basic math. > Just like the others then. Again.. The Taycan video you linked was on a: 1. Closed circular track (Nardò Ring) 2. With a factory crew with engineers 3. Dedicated onsite fast charger 4. Ideal Italian hot weather. EV's fare better in hot compared to cold climate. VS 1. Bjørn's tests that are on open roads 2. With detours 3. Colder climate 4. Had to slow down due to heavy rain. Sorry but you fell for a marketing hype.. Link me a video of the Taycan doing that and I will eat a humble pie. > And not a Model S but a Model 3. Too bad. The Model S can now do 373mi compared to 322mi on the Model 3. You honestly think (without any bias) that the Model S won't fare better?

        > 2781km > 1000km 2781km is less than 3,425km. Show me a Model S doing more than the Taycan in 24 hours. > You honestly think (without any bias) that the Model S won't fare better? So it should be easy for you to provide an example of the Model S covering more distance than the Taycan in 24 hours. Show it to me.
