Do we know it doesn't cheat?
We know the range estimates used to (?) be gamed[1], I don't see why this part wouldn't be, too.

- stetrain 3y agoIf I say I want to go to X destination the car says I will arrive with Y battery percent left. This is accurate to me within about 5% of the battery, even driving at fast highways speeds and in cold weather. If it was "cheating" I think I'd notice an issue when the car said I had 5% left but the real battery charge was empty.

- thebruce87m 3y agoIt would hurt the brand to cheat the sat-nav based range, it would mean the car wouldn’t make it to a charger when it said it would. You’d have a lot of unhappy customers. Think of the sat-nav range as closed-loop and the other testing based ranges as open-loop.
