Comment on Tesla Cybertruck gets less than 80% of advertised range in YouTuber’s test
machinin@lemmy.world 11 months agoI wrote this in another comment, but Tesla has been known for a long time to game EPA numbers. Here’s an article from 2020 talking about it: insideevs.com/…/eletric-car-real-world-range-test…
Several get below their EPA numbers, but several cars also get higher. Tesla models all get significantly below their claimed mileage.

The insideevs article reports 239 miles for a Model 3 Performance while clicking all the way through to the actual source of the testing “Whatcar” reported 324 miles for a M3 LR. What car indeed.
I’m sure Tesla has been overly aggressive with the range numbers. Especially people in colder climates must be getting far less than advertised. But these low-effort articles are not the best of sources.
