It's not just an ideal conditions thing, Tesla is further away from their EPA estimates than every competitor. It's borderline fraudulent and I wouldn't be surprised to see it at least land in court.

I would buy any number of things from anyone else because of how big a liar Elon is, and how much he seems to get involved in fucking things up.

    I mean, ok, I get that, but it's never been an issue for me personally. I've never had a vehicle that hit it's EPA estimate when I drive 85+ with the AC at full blast when it's 105+ outside. My truck is rated for 517 highway and I've never got more than 330 out of a tank, so, it is what it is I guess.

    Edit: So I'm saying I assume I'll need 500mi to hit ~350mi, that's always been my base assumption.
