Well, I thought it was simple, but you may not be comprehending the conversation well enough to follow. Let me try once more, keeping things really simple for you:Tesla model Y, per Tesla shows a higher EPA range than the Mach E.
Tesla model Y has a lower real world range than the Mach E.
Doesn’t get much simpler than that.
1) You have accused Tesla of using an easier EPA test cycle to inflate their range compared to others. This is false, and I've clearly explained why. Go back and read the conversation. I've posted facts from the EPA website regarding the EPA test cycles.
2) You have claimed Tesla inflates their EPA range rating. This is false. They post accurate data from the EPA tests.
3) Ford Mach E and Tesla MY are closer in range than the EPA range estimates would seem to indicate. This, is TRUE. Your comprehension failure seems to be in understanding or admitting why. What you want to believe is that Tesla/Musk is bad and lying/inflating/cheating/using an easier test cycle etc etc etc. In this, you are completely wrong. I've countered your false opinions with facts. The TRUTH is that Ford simply changed their EPA test results significantly to advertise a lower rating than what they actually achieved in the EPA test results. So Tesla did not inflate. Ford deflated. But not on the Lightning, which had a bigger range variation than all the Teslas tested.
You can argue that Tesla should change their EPA test results to match Fords adjustment if you'd like since you claim they are the only one that doesn't deflate their range results some random amount. But, I also showed that 7 other manufacturers, INCLUDING FORD, have similar or worse actual tested range compared to the EPA range estimates. So in this, you are again wrong.
What you don't seem to understand, is that I agree the Mach E and Tesla MY are closer in actual range than the advertised EPA range would seem to indicate. Re-stating this over and over does not somehow make you right about your false claims in regards to why the range is close.
Why go off topic with a vague, stereotyping generalization that has nothing to do with the discussion? Stick to the facts and topic at hand, unless of course you can't back up what you are saying with facts(which so far, you haven't been able to).It’s the blind faith that the Tesla supporters here have that’s a bit silly. Tesla can do no wrong in their eyes.
