Tesla exaggerating EV range for over a decade
(arstechnica.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I've tested in my own model 3 and the range and kwh usage is actually pretty accurate as advertised assuming you accelerate slowly, drive the speed limit, and don't run the heat, and don't have a strong headwind. Many people, including myself, absolutely do not drive like that, so the range will be less.
Wait, so you can't use the air? You know, one of the major comfort features in a car? What a ripoff.
Running the heat can be energy draining because you don't have a hot engine to draw air from. Using the heated seats is much more efficient but of course less comfortable in cold weather.
Oh 'Run the heat' means using the heater! I was so confused. I thought this was referring to driving fast or running from the cops or something.
