I do not doubt your account of the two cars, but Tesla's alleged trick is to have range reported differently when above and below a certain charge level. If Hyundai is playing similar shenanigans, you would not have observed it in city driving in a short amount of time. Not that there is any reason to think anyone other than Tesla does this, especially if Hyundai uses EPA range estimates.
- jbm 3y agoYes this is definitely true. I did get the Hyundai battery down to 40 or 50% (when there was a > 1 day power failure, and I didn't trickle charge the day before; https://montreal.citynews.ca/2023/07/15/quebec-without-power-severe-storm/ https://montreal.citynews.ca/2023/07/15/quebec-without-power...). I didn't remember being particularly surprised by any changes in the estimated range. I didn't take it further than the South Shore to Laval, so obviously there might have been problems that I am unaware of when taking it to Ottawa. It also did not have Autopilot, nor could I easily figure out how to set up the adaptive cruise control. It wasn't a perfect car, but I never felt any range anxiety driving it.
