There was pretty interesting article in the last Car and Driver about window sticker milage ranges for new vehicles during their tests for normal driving. It said of the gas powered vehicles tested, the average range was 4% higher than advertised. EV’s tested where 14% lower than advertised. Tesla on average was 23% lower than advertised. The Tesla model S was over 30% worse than advertised, rated at 405 miles, but only went around 270. It was commented it had an advertised longer range of 163 miles than the Porsche Taycan that they tested (which was higher than advertised), in actual real life, the distance was only 40 miles. Lol, guess it is still better…That’s not including the battery software update’s that has reportedly made some Tesla owner’s unhappy because they lost more range.
