How does the Tesla advertised range compare to the advertised range of other EV makers: less accurate, or similarly inaccurate? edit: "advertised" I mean the range shown on the dash. I.e. the range communicated by the car itself, as relevant to this article.

This might help but requires you do some cross referencing and math: https://ev-database.org/cheatsheet/range-electric-car https://ev-database.org/cheatsheet/range-electric-car This is better as it shows the claimed range, and the actual range: https://insideevs.com/reviews/443791/ev-range-test-results/ https://insideevs.com/reviews/443791/ev-range-test-results/

  That's good info. However, I can clarify by saying "advertised range" I didn't mean the range touted in marketing materials, but the range remaining shown on the dashboard

I mean, I realise that reading the article is considered most improper on this website, but it _is_ addressed.

It’s a bit average. It’s not crazy optimistic like some Chinese brands or a bit pessimistic like some German brands. Here is a Norwegian winter test in real conditions: https://nye.naf.no/elbil/bruke-elbil/test-rekkevidde-vinter-2022 https://nye.naf.no/elbil/bruke-elbil/test-rekkevidde-vinter-... You can use a translator (Google, DeepL, chatGPT…) but the Arabic numbers are easy to spot.

I frequently drive a Skoda Enyaq. The 'official range' figure is 330 miles, but we actually get 250-290 miles in real life usage depending on temperature. When you turn the car on with a full battery, the range estimate for us reflects actual distance not 'official' distance and seems extremely accurate and trustworthy.

One datum: our 2014 BMW i3 (ev, no range extender) consistently outperformed its rated range.
