EPA range is tested on a dynamometer in a lab and not outside! (0)
It’s data from their fleet in their area of usage.
They want to nitpick the EPA range as not being as relevant to them or well anyone. EPA range versus average personal car usage is a different topic.
It’s good to have this relevant ‘not my car’ driving style range available for company fleets to take into consideration. My company tracks many vehicle statistics and is particularly interested in idling hours as its rough on vehicles but necessary for the job.
Also, in the article they list 73% for model 3 performance. 230/315 miles range.
There is a list of things that work vehicles are used as that don’t conform to the EPA testing standards. Each vehicle could be fully loaded with passengers and equipment driving to remote mountain equipment sites in any conditions with the worst rolling resistance wheel/tire combination.
Some take the electric vehicle or well any of their vehicles much too personally.
