If you want to dig more: this is just a re-hash of Edmunds article describing their test: https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/testing-teslas-range-anxiety.html https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/testing-teslas-range-anxiet...
Here's a Tesla Daily podcast where Rob Mauer interviews head of Edmunds about the test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rb1toreNTrU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rb1toreNTrU
You can form your own opinion but Edmunds is roasted in the comments of this interview.
If you ask me Edmunds goes to great length to not report actual numbers. In the article they only tell you how many miles Teslas have driven after the car shows 0 range. This is to account for safety buffer.
They were criticized for an earlier test where they didn't account for this.
But instead of just telling what are the new numbers, they apparently want you to add number from earlier test (which was done in different conditions like outside temperature and driving style) and this delta from new test to arrive at total number.
It's almost as if the new test mostly invalidated their previous result but they're going out of their way to not admit that. Reeks of dishonesty.
