The "zero range" tends to be a safety buffer for gas engines and electric motors alike and should not be included in the official range statements, imo.

- stcredzero 6y agoThe way I use my Model 3, I intend to almost never go below 20% and almost never go above 80%. I'm just fine with including the buffer in the stated range. Given how batteries actually work, I can understand Tesla's approach to the buffer, and in the long run, that's what's actually better for vehicle longevity, fleet-wide.
