10. Every Tesla Failed Edmunds EPA Range Test For EV Cars

First off, yes, the EPA’s testing cycles are unrealistic. Edmunds doesn’t use EPA test cycles when doing its testing. It takes actual road tests in the Los Angeles metro area, aiming for 60% city, 40% highway. Every Tesla they tested (Model 3, Model Y, Model S) has failed to hit its EPA range estimate. Porsche Taycan outperforms its EPA range estimate by the widest margin of +59.3%. In this episode we break down why the massive difference between EPA and Edmunds range test results and what this could mean for consumer trust in listed range estimates.
