Sat in the back of an uber 2022 Model 3. I thought they improved the suspension. Felt like sitting on a galloping horse on the freeway like the MME.

The ONE and only point I’m making is that the consumer is fooled into thinking Tesla has more range because Tesla chooses to use a different test than everyone else and a smaller reduction %.
I can validate this statement. In 2021 I was choosing between the Mach-E and the Model Y LR. Having zero experience with an EV, I chose the Tesla because of the 330 mile range vs what was for the Mach E at the time, 240.

Since then, and over 33k miles, my real world mi/kWh is 3.4 in the Tesla, which with a 75 kW battery that puts my average range at 255 miles. Yes, roughly half of my miles driven are highway, but I bought the Tesla over the Mach E because of the EPA stated range difference. I assumed both vehicles were tested similarly.

I'm now trading my Model Y in for a Mach E.
