Compare the mpge of different cars. Tesla tends to win even between EVs.


I would use something other than mpge. Tesla advertises numbers you won't see in the real world, more so than some other manufacturers (Porsche is an example that goes the opposite direction and under-promises). The EPA test isn't anywhere close to as objective as many people believe, there are ways to game it.

I do wish my Model 3 LR would actually go 358 miles on a charge, that's for sure, but it would have to get even lower Wh/mi than Tesla claims on the Monroney sticker. I suppose that's not the most egregious lie on Tesla's web site, however.



Engineering first results.


Engineering first? From the company with 1 inch gaps between panels? From the company that had no mechanical handles in the back, so if the electrical stuff stopped working (say, because the battery was on fire), passengers in the back had to finish a puzzle to find out how to get out of the car?


My panels look great. i also never look at the outside, because I am inside enjoying it.

I guess if you care about panels gap and not performance, go ahead and get a Brokeswagon?

I will, and "Brokeswagon" marks you as a Tesla-Musk tech-bro from a mile away...
