Nice to see that the MME over performed. Would have been nice to see the RWD one in the test.Read about the testing here.

- In February 2021, we reported that every Tesla failed to hit its EPA range estimate in Edmunds' real-world EV range testing.
- Tesla disputed our test results, stating that the full range of its vehicles' batteries was not being accounted for.
- Tesla argued that we hadn't accounted for the safety buffer: additional miles after an indicated zero that would see its vehicles match EPA figures.
- We assembled a group of five new electric vehicles from Tesla, Ford and Volkswagen to test Tesla's claim.
- Our tests showed that there is no fixed safety buffer. Even allowing for the additional miles recorded after an indicated zero, only two of the six Teslas we tested would hit their EPA figures in our real-world conditions.
I think the Porsche over performed because their car is designed to drive like a sports car - fast. If you drive it like a grandma on cruise at 65mph its going to over perform. LOL.
