Consumer Reports was able to get 355 miles in the Model S Long Range at 65mph. They were able to get 418 miles at 55mph. I would expect the Long Range Plus to be about 10% better based on all of the CR data.
I am not sure where you got that information from Tesla but I trust that CR wasn’t just making shit up.
- anonymousiam 6y agoTesla directed me to their trip planning application: https://www.tesla.com/trips https://www.tesla.com/trips. I just ran it again with the "Model S Long Range" selected, and my 295 mile trip requires a 20 minute charge in Baker, CA.
- cwhiz 6y agoTheir trip planner recommends a charge in the middle for almost any trip greater than 200 miles. I am not sure why. It also could just be a fairly hilly drive or a drive with a high speed limit. Either way it’s pretty unfair to say Tesla is outright lying because the stated range isn’t applicable to every possible stretch of road in the world.
- brianwawok 6y agoYou don’t want to drain to 0 anyway. To make a 295 mile round trip without a charge I would want a weighted range of 400-450 miles.
- anonymousiam 6y agoLooking forward to the CyberTruck! Hopefully they'll be able to meet their announced specifications. Unfortunately I may not have enough garage space, and I'm torn over which vehicle to get rid of. Definitely not my new AMG.
