No doubt you are right, but I couldn't care less.To be honest, this isn't such a good thing as it might seem from the headlines. The one and only reason it's number one in that test is because it has the biggest battery (by far) of all test vehicles.
The real truth is it's the WORST efficiënt of the 9 (together with the porsche...(!)).
The MME does 3.4 miles per kWh where the rest does their job simply better.
Some with a small margin of 0.1 but some also + 15% (tesla M3).

I'm not buying a $63,000 car for a few pennies of extra fuel efficiency.
True but I prefer a smooth ride and QUIET car that handles well and is fun and all the rest. So many others are more efficient but loud and tinny.To be honest, this isn't such a good thing as it might seem from the headlines.

Exactly, the idea to add range by adding batteries is a catch 22. The heavier the car is the less efficient it is and the longer it takes to charge. Sure you can develop faster chargers but then your battery suffers.To be honest, this isn't such a good thing as it might seem from the headlines.

More depends on aero. So if one car is the best aero, do we really want all other autos to look the same. Do you really want to remove all the things that look nicer or nicer inside the car to weigh less?Exactly, the idea to add range by adding batteries is a catch 22.

They really need to focus more on efficiency over range, especially since you can obviously fudge the numbers.
