Agreed. There's a reason Tesla lost in court against Top Gear UK during the Clarkson days.The Tesla Model Y does not do that well, at all.
Drove my AWD ER from DENVER to Vail today, 220 mile round trip, with 6000 foot gain in elevation to tunnel under the continental divide tunnel and another mountain pass. Used 70% of the battery with 85 mile range remaining. EPA estimated range is very low at 270 miles.Agreed. There's a reason Tesla lost in court against Top Gear UK during the Clarkson days.
Tesla is overly optimistic and likely had the doors taped shut and seats removed to get that number. Hard or impossible to get per a Norwegian test done. All got their EPA advertised or better except... Tesla.
Ford's consistently coming up above ~34 miles: https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/te...rd-range-rwd-beats-epa-range-by-34-miles.html
Amazing. Even the car underestimates itself.EPA estimated range is very low at 270 miles.
