I always found it interesting that almost every EV in real-life exceeds their EPA range, while Tesla in real-life cannot even get close.
I would not be surprised that Tesla over-optimized everything with the EPA test as an utility function. (reminds anyone of the VW scandal?)

- frumper 3y agoDid you read the link? 12/37 exceed their range and Porsche is half those. Remove 1 very high end maker and you're at 6/31 exceed. Not exactly "almost everyone"
- user_named 3y agoTesla doesn't have high end cars? Right, their quality is terrible
- frumper 3y agoTesla may want to see themselves as high end, but the Model 3/Y are around the average cost of a new car. That is less than half what a starting Porsche EV costs.
