I’d say this is too strong a take. The mph number is certainly not completely accurate, but it’s also not made up out of whole cloth. The number I was quoting was for a Model Y, a Model 3 will have better, X will have worse. Given that 3’s and Y’s massively outsell S and X, it’s a reasonably conservative choice.
The mph number is overstated if you use AC/heat, and/or travel >75 mph. But it’s not more than 30% off in my experience. It should do pretty well in the Bay Area where the weather tends to be mild.
