A Tesla battery pack is good for about 300 miles. If that's equivalent to 3 gallons of gas, that's saying that Teslas would get 100mpg.
I can believe 40-45 mpg, but 100 requires some evidence.

That is not that crazy for an EV, the ford Mach E gets 93: https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find.do?action=sbs&id=43602 https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find.do?action=sbs&id=43602 Electric drivetrains are really efficient, which is why EV's are practical at all.
